Barriers to Starting a Business

by Startacus Admin
It's often not always that easy to take an idea and turn it into something real.
There can be many barriers which get in the way - some are personal such as a negative mindset or fear, whilst others can arise via other people - being told that an idea won’t work, that it's a waste of time, that it won't last, it won't scale or it won't make money…you get the drift!
Dealing with these barriers is why we created Startacus in the first place! We want it to be the go-to place for Startups, Entrepreneurs and Self-Starters - a place of support and inclusion - a place which enables the process of starting and sustaining a business as easy as possible. Startacus is a community of startups, wannapreneurs, creatives, dreamers, innovators and self-starters - all sorts of people with all sorts of ideas, startups and success stories!
With the support of the kind folk at Frillo we've attempted to visualise all of that in our first ever video.
So without further ado, we'd love you to take a couple of minutes out and watch that said video! We hope you like, and if you do - please like, it share it, retweet it. Tell all your friends! We'd also love you to register as a Startacus member (if you haven't already that is!) it’s free to join and you'll get access to a whole heap of benefits. As a member you'll be able to nab lots of B2B brand discounts, competition giveaways, get the chance to showcase your startup, list your idea or project, get access to exclusive member only tips and articles, and of course get the chance to learn, network and collaborate with other self starters!
