Weekday Nugget - Creating A Business Is Just A Sequence Of Tasks

Hi all,So I'm someone that wanted to be an entrepreneur for a looong time. It was the only thing I talked about, and yet, it took me until I was about 27 years old to start my first traditional company.Before that, I tried all kinds of stupid stuff. MLMs, commission only sales jobs, crappy affiliate deals---you name it.I thought (wrongly) that the barrier to me being able to start a regular old business was too high. I thought it would cost too much money upfront, that I needed to have some type of specialized knowledge I didn't have, or that I lacked the "secret sauce" to actually become a business owner.I had different jobs but I just wanted to be working on something entrepreneurial. If I wasn't going to have a regular business, I was hoping for the next best thing.That said, I finally linked up with a buddy from high school in 2012 that had started working on a software company, and he wanted me to be the "sales" guy. He built product---I would get users.The nice thing is that we were venture funded (through Y-Combinator), so I didn't have to think about how we would get over the initial startup cost barrier.This allowed us to just focus on creating the business.What ended up happening was that instead of being scared about the what ifs of everything---we just approached the venture the way one might approach an important school project.Write this blog post. Done.Reach out to this writer. Done.Build this page into the website. Done.Start cold calling and emailing potential users. Fine.Eventually---without even really realizing it...we suddenly had a functioning company. We eventually had thousands of users and countless listings on our software, a product for landlords that wanted to list their property and manage the entire rental process in one place.I don't know exactly when it happened, but something clicked in my brain.None of these individual tasks that we completed were very difficult, but doing them all added up to the creation of a company (that later got acquired!)About a year and a half in, I had time on my hands, so started to look for another venture I could work on.I, like many of you, found Rohan Gilkes posts on here and started a cleaning company. He outlined each step, and I just decided to follow them.Three weeks after first discovering his posts I had a company.A year later I had another company, then another.Once I realized that creating and running a company is really just about organizing, planning and completing a series of tasks...that there was no special sauce...just plain old determination and follow-through, everything changed.So whatever you are considering doing---whatever you're afraid of...just start working on it. Just complete one task at a time.Before you know it, you could have a company.If you fail, the worst thing you can take from that is knowing how and why you failed, and using that information to do better on your next go-around.Just get in there and do something :)Hope this helps! see hubwealthy.com/wealthy
