That feeling is strange right?

Excited and terrified at the same time

That’s exactly what it looks like when you start an online business.

On the other hand, you know inside of you, that you were meant to do something better with your life, instead of getting stuck with a job you detest so much.

However, starting a new business is risky – you are overwhelmed with thoughts of you failing and crawling back to your boss to beg for that old job paralyzes you with so much fear.

You’ve always yearned about taking control of your destiny, and see where your passion gets you. But you know deep down that passion is not enough. To make this work, you have to create a self-sustaining source of income.

To many people, starting a business doesn’t sound like fun to them. At least, not compared to following your dream.

But then, if you want to have your freedom while making a mark on the world, you definitely have to make that leap. You have to start your personal online business.

And there is no better time to do it than now. The online revolution is right here and in its full swing, ready to scoop entrepreneurs that are courageous into its warm, a multibillion-dollar embrace.

That’s kinda exhilarating!

But that possibility of failure is still frickin’ real.

So, what would a potential online entrepreneur do?

Getting started can feel like a rotating spin, doing a merry-go-round at 1000 miles/hour.

That’s when the reality of failure sneaks in and then threatens to take the revolutionary opportunity right out of your hands.

Wait a second…

What about you take action, fail fast and pivot? Isn’t this the true path to entrepreneurial success?

Maybe yes… Maybe not.

Because there is a big difference between failing because dived in unprepared for the challenges ahead and failing while doing something in the right way.

However, the irony here is that the fear of failure most times drive us to make silly mistakes.

But the good news is that most of these common reasons why online businesses fail are avoidable.
