If and when you start a business, its very normal to have doubts about your own ability to ‘deliver your services’ and to use that as an excuse not to begin your ‘self employed’ life. The following conversation demonstrates what a potential new business owner may think
Client – I am sorry to say, after all the mucking around I will no longer be using your services to set up a web page. I am being delusional by thinking my work is good enough that people would want my services, coupled with a lack of support from neaest and dearest, makes me think I am wasting my time. I would really like to thank you for your great advice, patience and time, while I have been so undecided. I would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone to setup their new website.
Website Design Company – Know how you feel as believe it or not a lot of people say that to us and as you can imagine we get to see a lot of people when they are beginning their businesses. I also had this feeling and thoughts / doubts about my own ability but thats just human nature to ‘doubt yourself’. I would like to tell you that all the ‘startup’ businesses we have been involved with that have doubts initially soon get over that, and commonly then move on from doubting their own ability to worrying about other ‘stuff’ related to their business. I personally worry about things every day and think thats just natural. We are happy to keep your details on hold and to start your website project when ever you feel ready.
There are some deep psychological reasons for doubting yourself when it comes to starting a new business, probably as we so easily get ‘comfortable’ with your easy employed life its hard to take a gamble and step out on your own, the fact that a large percentage of new businesses fail within 3 years must be a factor that stops people working for themselves but failing at something is just a natural progression towards success as long as you learn and evolve you will always be successful if you apply yourself correctly. Of course having a website that gets ranked highly in the search engines and converts website visitors to customers / clients can only help you become a success. Now who could possibly make that website for you ? 🙂
