Am I good enough? Can I do it on my own, without having colleague’s to share the challenges? Can I meet the expectations? Will I deliver in time? Can we make it without my income? What will my friends, family and acquaintances from the past think and say? I have a bucket list, just like a lot of people. Not a real list written down, but vaguely defined dreams of things I want to do in my life. One of them is starting my own business. The first question that comes in mind, is: “In what will I start?” But immediately after that there are a lot of other questions. And actually, these are the more important questions. Of course I needed to find my business activity, but in the end it all comes down to the question: “Do I dare to jump?”. During COVID I had some time to reflect on my career and all the activities I have done. In all my activities, full time jobs, a family, rebuilding a monumental farm and being a volunteer for several organisations, I am always the one exploring opportunities and making things happen. It turns out that this is what I am good at. Each time I see an opportunity and commit to it, I follow the same strategy to explore and make it happen. But if this is what I am good at and enjoy, how can I use this in fulfilling my dream and starting my own business.
