Common Startups Illusions

One of the most frequent illusions I see is the idea that you must be an expert to launch a business. It's also among the most hazardous.

It is simply untrue that starting a business requires much training and knowledge. In actuality, nothing could be further from the truth.

At start, you don't even need to be sure of yourself!

People who wish to launch their own business frequently ask me, "How do I do it?" Start by acting is the basic solution. After you've completed something, consider how it may be improved. Even if it's not always simple, if you persist, something will ultimately come together.

Other startups illusions include:
1. The idea of the "lone wolf" businessman.

2. The myth that all entrepreneurs are risk takers.

3. The myth that you need a big company behind you to get funding and reach your customers.

4. The myth that starting a company is a linear process, with no room for mistakes or learning from them.

5. The myth that there is only one correct way to do things, and everything else is wrong or flawed by comparison.
