"Timing is Everything"

We have all heard the expression, “timing is everything”.  Despite the news regarding inflation and turbulence within various markets and businesses, starting a business even in the worst of times may be a great opportunity for you and your future business. 

Many of us have a business idea floating around in our heads and we are just trying to figure out how to implement it. We may ask friends and family what their thoughts are, do some research online, or even seek out help from local community resources. Yet something may still be hindering you from taking the leap, you may be wondering, “is now the time?” Or “what if I’m wrong about the timing?” These are great questions, yet here is the entire point of the blog post, regardless of the circumstances, as long as a market is available and accessible and your business solution solves a problem for a consumer, business, non-profit, or governmental agency, etc. resources will be found even in the worst of times to utilize your solution. As an entrepreneur it is your primary responsibility to find your market, identify the problem and then to solve it creatively with your business solution at reasonable cost that the market will be able to handle. 

It is important to always start with your consumer in mind and how you are solving a problem for them. Therefore having an entrepreneurial mindset will help you finally take the leap of faith and start your business. Henry Ford, the founder of Ford Motor Company once said, “Whether you think you can or think you can’t-you’re right.” 

Developing the mindset of a successful entrepreneur is available to anyone and will help you curb fear, anxiety, and doubt and in my opinion is the very foundation upon which a successful business is built. Every entrepreneur has their own journey and approach, yet it is important that you understand that your mindset is the mentality that helps you succeed in business. 

As an entrepreneur we are always thinking “outside the box”, following the crowd does not work for us, we are all about charting our own path without any limits. We often don’t fear failure, we have a tendency to simply learn from it and keep pushing and pivoting, we are growth-oriented in our mindset. We adapt and collaborate with others and we are often fully aware of our limits and try to employ others to help us reach our goals. 

It is important as you begin to take the leap into entrepreneurship that you research having an entrepreneurial mindset in order to help you to start achieving your goals of business ownership. Commit yourself and understand what your market needs and get to work on planning and moving forward. The time is NOW. Be Blessed!
