Are Your A Recessionary Nutritionist?

If you are thinking about starting your nutrition business now, we have 10 reasons why you should reconsider.

1. The economy is shaky and economists believe it is going to get worse before it begins to get better.

2. How much free time do you have? Running a business is a 24/7 commitment and very stressful to you and your family.

3. If you lucky enough to have a job, experts recommend that you keep it as long as you can for a regular paycheck and benefits.

4. You are accountable for your actions, or inactions.

5. People are fickle, they love you and they hate you. Expect to deal with difficult people, horrible customers, threatened and real lawsuits, tough employees, and ultimately brutal people problems.

6. It takes at least 1 year of executing the business to figure out how to win and another to actually build it.
7. What financing? Better get used to none.
8. It’s more fun to just sit on a beach and wait until the economy turns around.  You can’t afford failure anyway as most businesses fail.
9. It’s lonely and no one else is starting businesses right now.
10. The government keeps spending cash and the tax man will need to take his fair share. By the time you sell the company, most of the proceeds will not be going to you.

But, if you still want to start a company, you may be crazy or you are a true entrepreneur.  The best nutrition entrepreneurs are aware of the odds against them when they start the business, yet they still dream, build a vision and actually start.
