Most people start businesses with the intent of being their own bosses by providing solutions through products and services that solve an identified need in the market.
Starting a new business is great. However, having an understanding of what to expect and hurdles you might experience is even better. Starting a business isn’t all beds of roses and definitely not as easy as some people portray. Usually, there are hurdles to jump and challenges that keep coming up. Of course, many managed to overcome them and keep their business afloat, though it would have been much easier if they had known about some of these challenges beforehand.
Entrepreneurship is a different ballgame that requires a different mindset. Going from employee to entrepreneur is a process that requires you to shed your older beliefs and habits and bridge new ones into your identity. You need to start thinking like a business owner and make decisions from data-driven validation also called business intelligence in recent times not just “gut feeling”.
