I met a young man yesterday from South Africa. His passion for his business in a shanty town near Cape Town is inspiring. While I don’t fully relate to the many factors that drive him, I can clearly see his passion. He concisely stated what he wants to do and how he hopes to get there. Although he did not talk about this as an “elevator pitch” which US entrepreneurs and investors preach every day, he knows what he wants and can easily tell his story.

The world we live in today is changing. And it is being changed by the energies and innovations that spring from the simplest events. As you think about your dreams and passions don’t let the traditional walls stop you from trying to find a way to reach out and make your dream a reality.

Success is not always being a multi-millionaire. Success is more often achieved when your dream impacts one person.

Why should you enter an incubation program?

• Business incubators reduce the risk of small business failures.  Historically, NBIA member incubators have reported that 87% of all firms that have graduated from their incubators are still in business compared to 15% success for those who do not graduate from an incubator program.
• The cream of the crop — We accept only the best and most viable companies, so joining our incubator shows potential investors that your company has potential.
• Targeted services — Our programs specialize in start-up and emerging companies, with services designed especially for young companies’ particular needs.  It is a community of like-minded individuals dedicated to helping you become successful through shared experiences and resource-pooling.

When I have come to this fork in the road, I first do a self-exam to determine where I am at before asking my advisors. You should do this because it is imperative that whatever you decide, it MUST align with where you want to take your company. Remember, it is ultimately YOUR company and at the end of the day, you need to know that you are comfortable with whatever decision you make. I would ask myself:

1.  What are my options? Think of all the “what if” that might be possible.

2.  What are the pros and cons of each? Write them down. Be honest with yourself!

3.  Look at them and circle the “pros” that align with your vision and “cross out” the ones that don’t.

4.  Sleep on them over night and look at them the next day with fresh eyes.

5.  Make your decision.

6.  Then take it to your closest friend, mentor or whomever you trust to talk straight with you and explain it to them. See what they say.

7.  Once you decide, go with confidence……….until the next pivot point emerges.

Building a business can be fun, but it certainly has its share of challenges. Good luck!
