I have been thinking for awhile about limiting beliefs when it comes to starting a business or launching products. Why is it so damn hard for many of us to decide what to do or find the right niche?
@Vigilante and @biophase have put threads up on the forum clearly showing their process and how they are selling soap and candles just to prove that you can start any business. @JackEdwards has clearly stated that you can get into any industry and start a business.
We all have our personal issues, whether it's fear of failure, pressure from family or friends, embarrassment, fear of success.
The question I have really been struggling with has to do with building a brand using private label products and the size of business that one can grow with private label products. I certainly believe that you can sell a private label on amazon or online, but will the product ever be able to make it to Brick and Mortar Retailers? Why get into something if you can go BIG?
Is the statement below a limiting belief or just being realistic?
Limiting beliefs are so hard to overcome, because it is hard to tell if your beliefs are actually valid and realistic. This is why so many like @zen******* believe in testing everything.
For instance, In my statement above, I think to myself, can I really out market P&G or any other soap company for shelf space in a particular soap niche? Possible, but highly unlikely. Maybe in this example, the goal and the market is too big? Maybe, I just have a very bad mindset.
What are your thoughts on all of this craziness in my head? I know I am not alone and I hope others will benefit from this as well.

- If I sell a private label cleaning product it is no different than any of the others; therefore, no retail store would want it on the shelf because it doesn't have a large brand name to help sell it and because it is a private label product they could make it themselves and increase their margin.
