16. START YOUNG: Don't Waste Time On The What Ifs

Why we're encouraging anyone who's ever thought about starting their own business to START NOW: Veronica and Renee both started their businesses in their early twenties and believe that you can either 'build your business around your life' or 'build your life around your business'.

When you start young and start before the responsibilities of life really set it, you have less at stake. You don't have to worry about risking it all to leave your 9-5 and possibly not be able to put food on the table for your family while you get this idea off the ground. We totally understand that mental battle can stop you from pursuing your dreams and that's why we hope this episode inspires you to just start now. The longer you wait to start your business, the more you'll be risking and the harder it will be to jump in without hesitation.

Get ready to switch up your routine, incorporate building your business into your daily routine
Don't get us wrong, you can still start NOW! Age is but a number, but we want you to know that it might be tougher to make the adjustment
Make sure you're surrounded by people who fully support you!
Use the doubt and negativity from others as fuel
Stop making excuses, just do the thing!
Find motivation from mentors that inspire you and that are living the life you want to live
Visualize your business non-stop, it's free and will help guide your decision making down the road.
Set attainable goals that will get your closer to the business you visualize, prioritize what's most important to get you there
Think through the best case scenarios and the worst case scenarios, don't get caught up on the what if's and let them consume you. Acknowledge what COULD happen, and know that it's a possibility, but let it stop you from starting!
