RE: Why am I so scared to start a business?
Thanks for taking the time to respond @churdtzu. I have built MVP websites in the past. The last project was a scheduling application to enable companies in hospitality and catering to schedule shift workers. I managed to get about 200 sign ups but it was a hard sell and I lost passion for it after a while and never pushed the idea past "beta". I am hoping I am not destined to remain working for someone else's dream Do I have what it takes? :(
How do you feel about passing ideas for new products/services through the #steemit community? Is there a risk someone would steal the idea? Would it outweigh the benefit in getting such a powerful community behind an idea?
Edit: who is "Gary V" if you don't mind me asking?
I'm not going to claim to be an entrepreneurial guru; I've started a few businesses, and most have failed. So feel free to disregard anything I say if you don't think it serves you. Nevertheless, here are a few ideas to try on and see if they fit:
I don't know if you have what it takes. But I do know you haven't really given it everything you've got, or you wouldn't be here asking that question.
Personally, I wouldn't be scared about people stealing ideas, because it takes a lot to go along with the idea to make it a reality.
Gary V is the man. Listen to his speeches and consider what he has to say.
