Listening to the Skeptics Could Motivate You to Succeed
If you dream of starting your own business, you are probably going to run into someone who is skeptical of your idea. Well, trust me when I say this: the naysayers are there to help you.
That’s right; they can actually help you get your business going. When faced with a skeptic, most people revert to being defensive and insulted. However, if you want to start a business, you’re going to have to get used to people doubting you and you’re going to need to use it to your advantage.
Before you start a business, you are more than likely going to need some financing. How do you get financing? With a business plan. And a great business plan is one that has covered everything, including the risks.
Here’s where the skeptics come into play. Use every criticism people give you as a reason to prove them wrong. If someone sees risks, use that as assistance to avoid risks in the future. Put them in your business plan along with things you will do so the risks never present themselves in reality.
If the skeptic is a spouse who is worried about you starting a business on your own, use your business plan to convince him/her that you have thought about every aspect of the business. You’ll alleviate their fear by showing that you are prepared.
The key to convincing a skeptic to see things your way is through preparation. If you are well prepared for someone asking you how you will get customers or how you are going to compete with a bigger competitor, then you should have no problem answering. In fact, the best way to prepare for a skeptic like a lender, who is trained to dig deep into your business plan, is to have other people question you. Use the skepticism as a building block to a better business plan.
Being questioned about the different aspects of your business shouldn’t be seen as an insult; it should be seen as a great reason to get yourself ready. The more you have thought about the risks, the more likely you are to avoid them, and that’s a good plan.
