A Great Cheat if You Don't Have Much Biz Experience

I hear this all the time - "I’ve never started a business before."

Or, "I don’t have any experience so I’m not ready."

Yes, it can absolutely help to have experience, not doubt about it. 

But think about it, if we all had to have experience to start a business, there would be a serious shortage of new, cool businesses out there!  

Martha Stewart had no experience in magazine publishing. Jessica Alba (The Honest Company) had no experience with selling consumer products and now her company is worth over 1 billion dollars!

Those are big examples, of course. But I know you could walk around the shopping district in your town and find small business owners who had no experience before they started.

In fact, that is exactly what you should do. Why?

What does experience give you? Knowledge and contacts.

You can acquire knowledge. Even more quickly, you can start to get out and meet people in the field that you are interested in.

Tony Robbins advises us to find someone who has done what we want to do and learn from their experience. Makes sense, no? 

Lets see, you know how to be curious, ask questions and take some notes, right? 

Then you have all the experience you need to get started right now.
