Should I start a business?
Starting a business is a decision about risk, time, money and opportunity. You do not have to choose between “start now” and “never”.
Work through my business decisionTest the decision before making it bigger
- What problem are you solving and for whom?
- What evidence suggests people will pay?
- Can you test the idea without leaving your job?
- How much money and time can you risk?
- What would make you stop or change direction?

Consider starting part-time, validating demand first, staying employed while testing, partnering with someone or committing fully. A smaller experiment can sometimes answer a larger question.
