Right Time to Start a Business
Sometimes others can say it best and are worth quoting. Here’s something from Seth Godin on the Right Time to Start a Business:
- "Whenever a business cycle starts to falter, the media start wringing their hands. Then big businesses do, then freelancers, entrepreneurs, and soon everyone is keening.
- "People and organizations that have no real financial stress start to pull back, ‘because it’s prudent.’ Now is not the time, they say.
- "Growth is frightening for a lot of people. It brings change and the opportunity for public failure. So if the astrological signs aren’t right or the water is too cold or we’ve got a twinge in our elbow, we find an excuse. We decide to do it later, or not at all.
- "What a shame. What a waste.
- "Inc. magazine reports that a huge percentage of companies in this year’s Inc. 500 were founded within months of 9/11. Talk about uncertain times.
- "But uncertain times, frozen liquidity, political change, and poor astrological forecasts (not to mention chicken entrails) all lead to less competition, more available talent, and a do-or-die attitude that causes real change to happen.
- "If I wasn’t already running my own business , today is the day I’d start one."

I believe it depends on what type of business you want to start. Before we start anything, we need to make sure the plan is solid and we also have a back up plan if the first one doesn’t work.
