One of the most common questions I get asked and one of the most common things I see is people being too afraid of failure to ever try start a business. NEVER FEAR FAILURE… starting a venture, successful or not, provides valuable lessons. It's an opportunity for personal and professional growth, building resilience, adaptability, and a deeper understanding of businesses. Embrace the challenges, they are stepping stones toward innovation and success.

If this is you, don’t worry, I’ve been in your shoes, at first I used to think, what if I fail, my friends will see, my family will laugh at me etc etc.. but then I realised, if I don’t try I’ll never truly be happy, I’ll never complete my life goals, I’ll always feel empty inside and that was enough motivation to get me started!

I can guarantee you most successful entrepreneurs have started something that failed!

Don’t make excuses as to why you shouldn’t start either!

Our book club are currently reading four hour week which I want to take an extract from to hopefully try motivate some of you…

Do I have to quit or hate my job? Do I have to be a risk-taker?

No to all three!

Do I have to be a single twenty-something? Not at all. This book is for anyone who is sick of the deferred-life plan and wants to live life large instead of postpone it.

Do I have to travel? I just want more time! No. It’s just one option. The objective is to create freedom of time and place and use both however you want.

Do I need to be born rich? No.

So no more excuses, no more fearing failure.. it’s time to get started, get stuck in and change your life for the better!
