Apparently a recession is a good time to start a business…

……it says so on the BBC – so it must be true!

I think one of the hardest things about starting a business is not the practical stuff – product design, finances or time management – it is keeping your enthusiasm and  focus when you get tired or bored or scared or disillusioned. It’s especially difficult when every news bulletin is predicting the very end of capitalism itself!  So, little reminders, like the article above,  I find are helpful. Building anything – a business, a piece of art, a house, is just a sequence of steps taken, one after the other. You have to keep the big picture in mind – the goal of what you’re trying to achieve, but day by day just take one step, one action, at a time. 

One action I think I’ll take today is to stop watching news bulletins ;)
