Letter From The Editor
Do you remember the first scary Halloween costume you ever tried on? After the mask went on, your outlook of the world changed: you were fearless; you were invincible; and you were on top of the world.
Whether you’re an introvert or extrovert, being a startup founder will force you to face many scary issues that you may be too afraid to take on, but many times, being successful means exploring outside of your comfort zone.
If you have already begun designing your startup, are in the launching stages or still playing with the idea of running your own business, you have already taken the first step outside of the box.
Spine-Chilling Situations
There are many different kinds of situations that can strike fear in any entrepreneur – many of which seem like they are out of your control. It’s important to face these demons head on and remember that no ghost or ghoul can scare you away from your dreams.
Everyone has their own personal fears about launching a startup, but some examples of scary situations that you may think are out of your control include:
* Because it would be your company, the mistakes will be yours; the failures will be yours; the problems will be yours
* Letting down your customers or constantly feeling the need to be perfect or cause no problems for your clients
* Letting down your employees, if you have any
* Making a bad decision, whether it is regarding business aspects or products
* The fear of losing interest in your startup
Harboring fear is a legitimate concern. As an entrepreneur, addressing the fears you have can move you one step closer to your journey to success.
Frightful, But Necessary Changes
Before launching your startup, it is important to address some of the concerns you may have or fears that may be holding you back. Stepping out of your comfort zone can be a difficult task, but it is a crucial one to ensuring your success.
There are a couple of changes that you can make that will allow you to feel more comfortable about the decisions or risks you may be faced with as a startup founder.
* Remember that everyone is afraid of change or of failure and that some of the greatest entrepreneurs and business owners have failed at least once: Arianna Huffington’s second book was rejected by 36 publishers; Bill Gates’ first startup was launched in high school, which failed; and the founder of Amazon, Jeff Bezos, didn’t see profits from his startup for many years. Wear your failures like a badge of courage.
* Acknowledging your fears and figuring out what the real problem is. For example, a business doesn’t fail as a whole; there are certain areas and changes that need to be made to products or finances, so find out where it is you’re afraid of things going awry. Once you figure out what areas you are concerned with, you can focus more on ensuring they are properly taken care of.
* Once you have address possible failures and learned to accept them, teach yourself how to change these situations into positive ones and face any issues you have head on. Ignoring your fears and concerns will only allow you to harbor them and let them burrow into your daily emotions.
* Prepare to succeed: write out a business plan with all possibilities and predicted scenarios so that you can feel semi-prepared in the case of a problem or failure.
The Gory Benefits
Stepping outside of your comfort zone is scary as is, but it is a necessity to becoming successful. If you have already quit your job or begun launching your startup, you have taken the first step
