Getting on the bike…

Targeted Audience: Entrepreneurs

I read this interesting post on Too Many Companies? by Dick Costolo, Founder of FeedBurner. Dick explains a lot of people confuse fear of failure with not having enough
confidence in the ultimate success of their idea. They thus conclude
that they aren’t confident enough in their idea because it seems to have lot of challenges down the path. He insists –

The key is to just get on the bike, and the key to getting on the bike
is not the confidence in knowing you will be successful if you do
x,y,z. The key to getting on the bike is to stop thinking about "there
are a bunch of reasons i might fall off" and just hop on and peddle the
damned thing. You can pick up a map, a tire pump, and better footwear
along the way.
