Many of us have felt the desire to start our own business—but also the fear of letting go of something secure in exchange for the unknown. My intention with this message is simple: to encourage you to take that first step. Trust me, it feels more intimidating than it actually is. But once you take action, opportunities begin to appear, and momentum starts to build.
You’ll never feel 100% ready, and that’s okay. Perfection is often just an obstacle in disguise. Start with what you have, right where you are. As you move forward, the knowledge, resources, and people you need will find their way to you.
It's been shown that one of the greatest regrets people face at the end of their lives is not the mistakes they made—but the chances they never took. You can overcome setbacks, failures, and financial losses. But what’s truly hard to live with is never having tried.
The good news is that today, starting a business is more accessible than ever. Technology simplifies processes, the internet provides endless knowledge, and countless mentors generously share their experiences to help others succeed.
So ask yourself honestly: is what’s holding you back truly real—or just fear disguised as protection? Sometimes, our own mind limits us more than reality does.
You have talents the world needs—and a purpose that goes far beyond playing it safe.
At VTX Business Consultants, we support aspiring entrepreneurs just like you with the tools and guidance needed to get started: tax planning, accounting, bookkeeping, business structure setup, and personalized consulting to help you build something meaningful from day one.
You’ve got this. The world is waiting for what only you can bring.
With encouragement,
Edna Acosta
