At this most frightful time of year, is there anything more scary than owning a business? I always meet people who say they will, or they could own their own business, but they don't. Is it fear that keeps them from chasing their dreams?
Let's face it, starting and owning a small business is filled with things to be afraid of. Big fears are real, and they can be hard to deal with, but a big part of being an entrepreneur is finding a way to overcome those fears.

No regrets. It's not just what I say, it's what most people would say, even you, had you not been so afraid to take the risk.

There are probably as many books out there on how to start a business as there are on how to survive the first year as a parent. Good advice only goes so far, there is no way to get around buckling down and giving a lot of attention and love to this treasure you are rearing and growing.
