Week 6

I had some lightbulb moments this week during the readings. My personality likes to have things planned out and organized if I'm taking on a project or in charge of something. When thinking specifically about starting a business I get tied up in the details of how much to charge, how I’ll schedule jobs, how much time each project will take and all sorts of things that I can’t possibly fine tune until I’m actually doing them.  There was so much information this week on just starting. Simply begin and figure out the problems as they come at you. Some of the information indicated that there was actually less of a chance for success the more delays happened. Jumping in and sorting things out when they arise shows that you have confidence and excitement for what you're doing. If you show hesitancy and restraint in your business idea then customers, and most certainly investors, can become wary of your product or service. It's important to have plans and projections and not always be shooting from the hip, but if something unexpected comes up, can you handle it? What if an opportunity comes knocking that you don’t think you’re quite ready for? Do you turn it down because you can’t wrap your head around it? No way! Lean into the uncomfortable of not having every detail mapped out and you may be surprised at the potential you never knew was there. Actually doing the job is usually what helps you figure it out anyway.
