Not taking action because I'm afraid of creating myself a job.

[shubham525]

I always read on this forum that you should only start a business that scales or that can be automated, and to NOT create a job for yourself.

I've dabbled in a few ideas over the past year or so, and every time I get to the planning phase, I always find that the idea will take a ton of my time doing it myself, and I don't have the money to hire people yet.

A few of my ideas:

• Lawncare service business
• Online coffee store
• Landing page design & CRO service (current endeavor)

I always do a CENTS analysis on each idea I have, and I believe my current one fits the bill. However, the amount of work involved feels daunting, and I don't even know if it'll pay off.

I know building a business system will be difficult and time consuming, but I'm afraid of just building a job for myself that I can't escape.

Should I just go all in on my current idea and just see where it takes me?

Thanks, everyone for hearing me out.

Ofcourse you will have to work hard , more hard then a job. Later you can think about automating/outsourcing or selling the business.
