Is starting a business is today too easy?

It used to be that starting a business would require a lot more sacrifice, where many people would need to invest $100,000 and buy a building in order to start a business. But today, it's very possible to start a business with zero down! You could start by selling things on ebay, or even post your talent on youtube and start making money on ads. There was even a young man who started his own production company from the exposure he received from youtube. There are many success stories on youtube.

But is starting a business becoming too easy?

The simplicity of starting a business today has it's pros and cons. One pro is, you don't have to be rich in order to start a business! But on the other hand the simplicity of starting a business today is showing that some people are not as committed. People are just testing the waters to see if it works. It's definitely different from having sold everything you have, and borrowing money from family and friends- the investment is different mentally and emotionally. It's an all or nothing mentality! Where success or failure would impact your life greatly.

Studies show that when you've spent everything you have on something your instincts get sharper and you make better decisions. But when you have a safety net it's harder to commit to the business you've started. It may take your months or even years to get the business off the floor.

How do we step into our dream life? By jumping and not turning back.

Want to live your dream life? Maybe it's time to grab your parachute and jump out of the safety plane today.
