In a lovely write up over at Small Business.co.uk, the essential nature of support from friends and family when you are starting a business is explained in business terms.
The truth is, when you start a business you are essentially letting go of everything that makes you feel safe, perhaps it is a full time job or a successful career, perhaps it is moving from the 9 to 5 to the 7 till 11. Whatever it is there are major changes to be made, and family and friends play a huge role in supporting your business as a fledgling.
If you are thinking of starting a business or have started a business, but afraid or shy to ask your friends and family for help and assistance then don’t be. It’s all a very normal part of the start up process, so start asking and start accepting help if you need it. After all, they must be good at some things that can be useful right?
