2 Certainties When Starting a Business

When you jump into starting your own business, buckle up for two guarantees: nothing’s gonna go as planned, and it’ll definitely take longer than you expect. If you’re crunching the numbers on how to fund this dream, you’ve got a few choices: dig into your own pockets, team up with a partner, or maybe you’re thinking about a loan.

But here’s a straight shot of advice—skip the debt. Loans mean you’re on the hook, and if things don’t pan out, you’re not just out of a business, you’re drowning in payback. Play it smarter—bootstrap or find a partner who believes in your vision. That’s how you keep your business and your peace of mind intact.
