ENTREPRENEURS: What's the biggest obstacle that you had to overcome?

Question

How long have you been in business?

Answer 1

My biggest obstacle has been and always will be myself. I have a wonderful product line, a great business set up and I believe 100% in the company.

I struggle with the courage to make those necessary phone calls and person to person connections. I know that they will give me the business I want but I fear rejection. Overcoming my fears and "hang-ups" and believing in myself is what is most required to effectively and joyfully run my business.

Answer 2

Hi,

I have been in the business for last four years. We are selling branded engineerng items.
Biggest obstacle I think is to get motivated people and run the business with whatever team is available.
Money matters can be solved with the help of banks. Market can be generated or existing market can be tapped with perfect advertisements. But to get a properly motivated person at proper place and keep him happy and willing to work at your company is I think big challenge. Especially nowadays young people change their jobs like their dresses.
Thanks
bye.
