Surely you have had some conversations where you share with your friends and acquaintances some business ideas or even stories of people who have managed to create their own companies and today enjoy the benefits. Despite the dreamy and positive air of these dialogues, there are always thousands of reasons not to carry out any of these ideas.
You do not have the necessary money to start, you will have to dedicate a lot of time, you will have to leave your job, you do not want to get into debt or you do not think you have the necessary experience.
