According to a recent study, nearly two-thirds of Americans have thought about starting their own business. Of those, almost half say they have the necessary skills to do so.
So what’s holding people back?
Lack of confidence is one factor, but for many, the biggest obstacle is simply not knowing where to start.
The good news? There are plenty of resources available to help aspiring entrepreneurs take the first steps towards launching their own businesses.
For starters, the internet is a wealth of information on everything from funding to marketing to product development. There are also a number of incubators and accelerators that can provide support and mentorship. And with more people than ever working remotely, there’s no need to rent office space or buy inventory upfront.
So if you’ve been thinking about starting a business, there’s no time like the present to get started.
