I was a business partner with someone and just got booted out. I was sitting on my patio, trying to figure out what my next step is and looked on my Pinterest feed and saw your information, read it and listen to your video. It was and is exactly what I needed today. It could not have come at a better time. Fear of failure and fear of financial insecurity are my top two fears with starting my own Interior Design business even though I’ve already had one in the past and one are there in a different industry. Thank you thank you thank you so much.

For me, using social media to do my business was a huge problem for me. I just couldn’t understand. I tried learning from some experts to no avail. When someone asked me to learn again online, I was reluctant. I used to tell people that I was born before technology. But I summoned up courage to learn and to my greatest surprise, I understood and am now able to use this for my business online.

In reply to Dolores. So, so SO MANY ideas on creating/designing things to start a business. But if i see someone or multiple people are already doing so, what would make my product so different?? Not having (and wanting) any social media is not helpful for creating a business. I dont like social media AT ALL. But these days you seem to need it, otherwise you dont exists.

Luisa,
Thank you for this post. Like some of your other fans, I am worried that I am not tech-savvy enough for social media ( among other things) to actually get sales. I like that you remind us that it doesn’t have to be perfect to get started. I welcome any other guidance you can give us!

There is the fear of not being able to pay my bills along with the fact that I feel like I’m not tech savvy enough in order to make my business successful. I also have a lot of different directions I would like to pursue and I know that I need to narrow it down to 1 in the beginning.

My biggest fear is not being able to pay my bills. I’ve been in the public as a cashier for 10 years in my small town, now I’m wanting to start my reflexology business like my mom did with her massage therapy business. Mom past last year so I’m on my own with this I can feel her pushing, but I’m scared.

Overcoming stress is the most challenging part of our life. And I think everyone has the ability to do as they wish to. So we should need to first believe in ourselves.

THANKS! for sharing a beautiful post.

I want to start a pastry and baking business (small size for now). But there’s this fear that my stuff can’t ever be as good as the ones I see other people do, and that what if I start with the little money I have and it fails? It’s so bad and I am battling with it and the year is running out.
