Business is a prospect that appeals to many people. Not only do you get to go about making your own way in the world with an idea that you truly believe in, but the independence that comes with it can be enthralling. However, it’s important that you don’t conflate the fantasy with what the reality will actually be like. While it’s a venture that might very well hold some interest for you, clearing up some myths can give you a more realistic expectation of what to expect, which in turn can help y

In business, and in your personal life, the ability to anticipate and overcome criticism is one of the biggest differentiators between leaders, who make things happen, and followers, who may have great ideas but never seem to get things to go their way. In fact, leaders are not remembered for their dreams, aspirations, or intentions – they are remembered because they achieved results.

I always tell entrepreneurs that two heads are better than one, so the first task in many startups is finding a cofounder or two. You need to find the skills or experience you don’t have in business, technology, or money. So, the first question I usually get is what percent of the company or equity is that person worth? Giving a cofounder a salary won’t get you the “fire in the belly” you want.

Then, you get your big, monthly retainer bill. Yikes! Since public relations’ activities take a lot of time and effort, they can be expensive. Plus, there is a lot of behind-the-scenes research, media pitching, copywriting, and follow-up that goes on.
