What is stopping you from starting?

Ok, so I tend to bang on a bit about how wonderful it is to run your own company.

I also have a passion for identifying possible opportunities in everything. So much so that they started ‘taking the Mickey’ out of me up the local pub – ‘Hey Paul, where’s the opportunity in that?'.

I don’t care in the slightest – It’s a ‘fun’ thing to do and has also been pretty rewarding – and the teasing pretty much stopped the day we rolled up in a brand new custom hand-built English sports car, the result of some of those ideas!

Here are some of the reasons given why it is not possible to start, together with possible solutions…

“I can’t think what to do” / “There aren’t any opportunities left”


“I’m just not lucky”


“I don’t have the money to start”


“It’s not my fault, It’s THEM”


“There are too many problems”


“I don’t have the time to start anything else”


“It can’t be done” / “I’ve been told it can’t be done”

As soon as all the 'negatives' are safely out of the way, you can consider doing a bit of gentle research and fact-finding as we move on to risk-free ways you CAN make it all happen!
