What's Your Worse Fear?

[yvettem]

If you own your own business or are looking to start one, can you help me out? I'm putting a support product together for business startups and want to really address what drives people in their own business. If you have a moment, can you answer these questions?

• What's driving you to have your own business?
• What's your worse fear?
• What will make it worthwhile for you if it comes off?

Any feedback will be really appreciated on this.

Thanks for your help

What's driving you to have your own business?

-- I am not getting any job offers, so I decided to go into business for myself.

What's your worst fear?

-- That I will not make enough money to survive.

What will make it worthwhile for you if it comes off?

-- The ability to work the hours I want and not have to work for someone else. As my father is fond of saying "You never get rich working for someone else unless you are a Dellionaire".

Feedback I've had off other people on what drives you to set up your own business is to be in control of your own life.

The biggest fears are failure and not having enough money.

Would any of you go along with this or are different things driving you?

Thanks

* What's driving you to have your own business?
I like to work on my own terms and be rewarded accordingly.

* What's your worse fear?
I've gone through my worst fear and don't fear it anymore. The government decided to change some laws which effectively put me out of business. It actually opened up other opportunities for me that I am now pursuing.

* What will make it worthwhile for you if it comes off?
I like the ability to work hard when I feel like it and slack off when I don't.

1. What's driving you to have your own business?: I want to be my own boss. I want to have control over my product (if something about it needs to fixed/changed/updated, I want to make sure that it happens). All I need is a great idea I'm a ways away from starting a business though.
2. What's your worse fear?: Having to report to someone that doesn't care at all.
3. What will make it worthwhile for you if it comes off?: If people enjoy my product or service (whatever it may be), that would make it worthwhile for me.


Hope that helps!
