Commit
Once you have done your research, you must follow through. This calls for commitment. Commitment is manifested in a variety of ways, one of which includes determination. Once you've committed to your business, you must be unwavering. With this mindset, you won't vacillate back and forth.
Sadly, this is a very easy thing to do. The world is full of negative opinions with its naysayers and haters. You must not waver and allow these inclinations to get the best of you. Commitment calls for maintaining mastery over your own destiny, not allowing trials and set-backs to cause you to pull away from your own personal mission.
As time goes by, you will encounter situations where you may have doubts about the advisability of continuing with your venture. This is completely natural. I have discovered, much to my dismay that the world really doesn't care if I make it or not, thus, I must take responsibility for sustaining my own inner drive to succeed.
It can feel awfully lonely when you are blazing a new trail. Think, though, of the alternatives. That rumination in itself can temporarily cure you of all of your doubts! You could: 1) be back working for that cantankerous boss whom you loathe; 2) find yourself sitting across the desk from an employer interviewing for a job with a kid half your age; 3) be looking down a dark tunnel and realize that's your financial future or; 4) be contemplating becoming a financial burden to your children as you grow older.
All of the above are less than you want or deserve. Take charge and charge ahead! What do they say the "tough" do when the "going gets tough?" That's right. The tough Entrepreneur remains true to his/her resolve and keeps moving ahead! Some risks are well-calculated and well worth taking. Starting your own business as a Boomer can very well be one of those savvy moves. You will not always know what lies ahead of you, but if you've done your homework and made all the necessary preparations, go ahead. You may be surprised how far your commitment takes you!
