Should I Start a Business in These Crazy Times?

Have you ever wondered, How do I start a business? How do I start a business online? How do I sell my products? Well, those questions may’ve taken a different turn these days. Let’s be honest: the world feels like it’s turning upside down. “Brace Yourself” is the buzzphrase of the day, and it seems like every headline is a reminder of how unpredictable life can be. You may be asking yourself, “Should I even think about starting a business right now?” The short answer? YES! Now is not just a good time—it’s the perfect time to take the leap and start that business you’ve been dreaming about. Here’s why.

The World Is Changing—And That’s a Good Thing

But guess what, the world is always changing. Crazy times create crazy good opportunities. The reality is that the businesses thriving today weren’t built by people who waited for the “perfect time.” They were started by folks who saw gaps in the marketplace and decided to fill those gaps with their unique gifts. We always have to adapt and evolve no matter what.

People are always searching for solutions, and your idea could be the solution to their problem. Whether it’s a product that makes life easier or a service that frees up time, someone out there needs what only you, with your secret sauce, can give them. The longer you wait, the longer they have to struggle.

Entrepreneurs Are Thriving in 2024

If you’re worried about whether it’s possible to succeed as an entrepreneur in today’s climate, let the stats do the talking. As of 2024:

• Entrepreneurial Intentions: About 40% of traditionally employed Americans are considering becoming entrepreneurs, indicating a strong interest in self-employment. 1

• Women-Owned Businesses: Nearly 4 in 10 U.S. businesses are women-owned, accounting for over 14 million businesses—a more than 13% increase from 2019. 2

• Economic Impact: Women-owned businesses in the U.S. generate over $1.9 trillion in revenue annually, showcasing the significant impact of women entrepreneurs on the economy. 3

These numbers aren’t just inspiring; they’re proof that success is out there waiting for you.

The Only Certainty in Life Is Change

It’s easy to let fear of the unknown hold you back. “What if I fail?” “What if it doesn’t work out?” “What if this isn’t the right time?”

Here’s the truth: no one can predict the future. But if you never start, how will you ever know what could’ve been? Failure is guaranteed because you never gave yourself a chance to win.

Think about this: some of the most iconic businesses were born during uncertain times. Netflix? Founded during the dot-com bubble. Airbnb? Launched during the 2008 financial crisis. These entrepreneurs didn’t let the fear of failure stop them. They saw an opportunity and jumped on it.

The same goes for you. Your gifts are too valuable to sit on the sidelines. Imagine how many people you could help, inspire, or uplift simply by sharing what you have to offer.

It’s Okay to Keep Your 9 to 5

Worried about financial security? You don’t have to quit your day job to start a business. In fact, keeping your 9 to 5 while building your side hustle is a smart move. It provides a steady income, reduces financial stress, and allows you to reinvest earnings back into your business.

Starting a side hustle while working full-time can boost your income, build new skills, and create financial freedom. But just know, all the hard work and long hours will be worth it in the long run.

Multiple Streams of Income: Don’t Put All Your Eggs in One Basket

Relying solely on one source of income is like walking a tightrope without a safety net. And boy, if you fall off, it hurts. By creating multiple income streams, you create financial stability because if one dips, you have some relief from another stream. Starting a side hustle allows you to earn extra income and pursue your passions and learn some new things.
