What would you do if years into your business, you found out you needed to change your business name because of a possible trademark infringement? This happened to Gwen Willhite, owner of Cookies By Design, and she still turned her venture in to a multimillion-dollar business.
What would you do if your husband, who also was your business partner, died and you were told that the business model you created could never work and that you didn’t have the money to start the company? That happened to Mary Kay Asch, and she built the country’s largest direct-selling cosmetic company.
What would you do if you were turned down multiple times for the financing you needed for your business? This happened to Lisa Hammond of Femail Creations, who is now the owner of a thriving direct-mail gift business and the author of a book.
Here’s the point: No business exists without obstacles. If it were easy, everyone would do it. If you speak to any successful entrepreneur, you’ll find that they all have one thing in common. They are unstoppable. Give them an obstacle and they will go around it, dig under it or climb over it.
Does that mean if you’re fearful of these challenges that you shouldn’t move forward with your business? Not at all. We all have fear.
Fear is probably the biggest thing that holds people back from starting their own business. Fear of failure, fear of losing money, fear of not knowing what to do. For a mom entrepreneur, the fear factor is probably heightened since we’re even more concerned about the impact of the business on our family. The only thing that separates those who become entrepreneurs from those who don’t is moving forward despite any fear. Don’t stop now, read the lot!
