What is stopping you from starting your own business?

[Stem]

Just recently I started to take my graphic work a little bit more seriously and in that short space of time I have had repeat clients. One client in fact asked me to develop two logos for him for two separate businesses that he started.

I said all of that to say this: people often think that starting a business in Ja and surviving are very slim and marred with bureaucratic red tape... The only true way to find out is to try for ones self

For me it's just laziness. Not capital or not having ideas, just lazy.

You have to start somewhere and stay motivated. Keep the right people in your circle and know that it can be done! My little project here took 2 years of research and another 6 months of development.....but I got it done....through sweat and tears...no blood thank goodness - www.studyinjamaica.com . Today the 3rd component went live, and I am really happyI stuck it out http://procerts.studyinjamaica.com . You IT buffs will find good info on where to access IT certification training.

Couldn't have done it alone though....thanks to ma peeps SB! Bonafide fi life! Find good people to be with and bounce ideas off....2 heads are often better than your 1/2. alone :-)
