When I decided to start my first business I brought it up in conversation with a few friends. Some of them had?an
immediate look of horror on their faces. They said:
‘Is it a good time to be starting a business?’
‘What market research have you done?’
‘Why not do it next year when the economy has improved?’ (it was 2003).
I realize now that none of those people had ever ran their own business. They all said they wanted to but held themselves back for a number of reasons known only to themselves.
