Young Money:

1. I don’t have enough money – Many of America’s largest corporations started on a shoestring budget out of somebody’s garage.
2. I don’t have enough time – Many of America’s largest corporations were started in people’s spare time.
3. I’m not smart enough – Says who? SATs and grades have very little correlation to people’s potential to be successful entrepreneurs.
4. I’m not creative so I can’t come up with good ideas – There are many books in the library or book store with low-cost business ideas.
5. I can’t because the economy is bad – Many of the most successful corporations were started during recessions.
6. I don’t have enough experience – Microsoft, Dell, Kinkos, and Yahoo are just a few of the many successful companies started by people with no business experience.
7. I can’t because I’m afraid of failing – According to most statistics, the majority of businesses fail financially after the first few years.
