Reality Check: ShinWa Marketing Highlight Reasons to Avoid Starting a Business

    JACKSONVILLE, FL, March 26, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Many people believe starting a business is a sure-fire way to attain great success and financial freedom, however there are many pitfalls and unless someone is incredibly passionate and willing to put in the hours it takes, the business is unlikely to succeed. More than 80% of small businesses fail, had those individuals hesitated and considered why they were getting into business, that number would no doubt be considerably lower.

ShinWa Marketing, a start-up in Jacksonville, Florida, outline their reasons not to start a business.

Running Away from Something

Many people hate their job and think they could do a much better job than their boss, or they feel like their under-performance is not their fault but everyone else is to blame. Starting a company sounds like a great escape, however this is not a good reason. The only reason someone should choose entrepreneurship is if they are committed to following a path to success, otherwise, hiding from problems will just create more as their reasons for starting a business are shaky at best.

To be in Control

Many people are control freaks and struggle with the idea of delegation. They believe the best way to get something done is to to it themselves. They believe running a business will give them total control. However, starting a business can actually make someone feel less in control. They can't control when customers pay them or even if they want to buy their product.

To become a millionaire

There is a glamorous haze over starting a business. A few success stories have put stars in people's eyes and make them think they can easily start a business and become part of the millionaires club. The average small business such as a plumber or local convenience store aren't exactly pulling in 9 figures. Millionaire entrepreneurs exist, but they're rare. People need to readjust their expectations.

To Become a Media Darling

In an age of celebrity, many people are clambering to be famous. Sick of seeing entrepreneurs like Richard Branson in the news, people crave the attention themselves. It takes years of hard work and dedication, not to mention an incredible PR team, to get to the level of someone like Richard Branson. Once someone starts pitching the media, they'll quickly find out they don't care about them or their unknown brand.

To Spend More Time With Their Family

It sounds like a great idea, however successful entrepreneurs know that it takes many gruelling hours to get a start up off the ground. As a business owner the individual is the one responsible for their income so less hours worked means less money coming in. Few people have mastered having time and money in running a business. Plus, if someone chooses to work from home to spend time with the kids, they won't be able to focus on the business fully.

Go into Business With a Family Member

For the most part, family and business don't mix. Going into business with a family member can work, however both parties must be good partners before that point. Conflicting opinions and ideas can stop the business getting off the ground.

Having Passion, But No Direction

Having a passion for something is a great starting point, however if there is no direction there is no hope. If the individual doesn't have a clue how to run a business or market it they should find alternative ways to fulfil that passion instead of starting a business.

Assuming a Bank Loan will be approved

Since the recession hit banks are more reluctant than ever to bankroll new, unproven business, which means if someone quit their job thinking a bank loan was guaranteed, they might want to reconsider.

Only Having an Amazing Idea

Believing a great idea is enough to start a highly successful business is incredibly naive. They must share the idea and conduct market research to see if people will actually pay for it. The individual will be setting themselves up for failure if they start a business without even knowing who will buy the product.

Starting a business isn't something to be entered into lightly. It's a major life decision. People need to be realistic and manage their expectations about when they'll make their first million, and realise that it's going to take a lot of sweat, persistence, and patience to grow it.
