My problem - anybody else get this?

My problem in regards to starting a business is that the perfect is the enemy of the good. I have literally come up with hundreds of business ideas over the past years. All of them being at least decent, but I have yet to execute on a single one.

Its high time I actually take a risk and start a LLC. I will only be risking my own small savings. If it doesn't beat the odds and fails at least I will have tried. I will be happier with myself than if I had never taken the risk.

Anybody else get this? I have a feeling its pretty common actually. Good ideas are a dime a dozen, but good execution on them is really very rare.

Yes alot of people go through this.The most important thing is that you are one that actually takes action,and not one who dreams of it. Taking action is the singular difference between success and failure.

I've had a couple dozen ideas, executed 5 or 6 of them, some fairly successfully, others failed. I learned from my mistakes, and now am solid in my businesses.

I'm lucky that I'm only on my third biz, and this seems to be the golden egg

You speak of failure as a bad thing. Nothing comes bad from failure. Failure brings experience, know how, even more drive, and as always tears. I have been an entrepreneur legally for 6 years I have failed and succeeded but the I have gained more knowledge from my failures. Also you ever wonder why many corporations hire Executive Management with failed businesses on their portfolio?
