Starting a business can be scary. You may have questions like: Am I in the right business? Do I have the right target audience? Will I have enough customers to keep it going and provide for myself and my family?
Where do these ‘scary’ thoughts come from?
These ‘scary’ thoughts may cause fear or even let you freeze and stop taking action. But where do these thoughts come from? They are a result from our brain constantly looking out for danger to protect us when necessary. This comes from prehistoric times when life was much more dangerous than it is nowadays. However our brain (and body) didn’t evolve with our safer surroundings and we keep on getting these scary thoughts.
What can you do about it?
So now you know where the thoughts come from, but what can you do about it? There are a few ways to deal with these thoughts of fear to help you move along.
- Remember why you wanted to start your own business. Maybe you couldn’t find a job you like. Or you didn’t like the job you were in because of a horrible boss or something else. Or you like to be your own boss because of the freedom to make your own decisions or spend time the way you want. It also could be a combination of these reasons like in my case. When you start thinking about these reasons you get your focus and motivation back to keep on going.
- Change your mindset and start living in the now, instead of thinking of the future. Some questions can only be answered through experience. So set your goals for the future and work on them in the now, because that’s the only moment you have an influence on. And thinking about bad scenarios is also no use and a waste of energy because they might not even happen.
- Take action. After you have set your goals, it’s time to take action. Most startups struggle with their (online) marketing and the lack of time and money. So these are important areas to take action on. It will give you peace of mind.
