I Want to Start a Business but I Never Actually Start: Preparing Is Not Progress.

I Want to Start a Business but I Never Actually Start is part of Diego Segura's I Want to Start a Business series, so it checks one reason for not starting against the evidence.
How long have you been going to start this business? And in all that time, how many strangers have had the chance to say no to you? For most readers the answer is zero.
Preparing feels almost exactly like progress, and it never lets anybody outside your head answer you. That is not a character flaw. It is a very good trap.
Eleven chapters, each ending in one sitting's work: 1,673 start-up attempts in which the ones that died were the long, careful ones, the online courses that 52 per cent of registrants never opened, the licence you think you need. No plan, no course, no morning routine. One question, sent to one person who could pay you, inside fourteen days. The reply does not have to be a yes. It only has to arrive.
