Why it is time again...
Beside the topic itself some people feel, that's time again to meet with inspiring and energizing people.
- Experiences are made in starting own businesses (e.g. enablers) and thoughts on alternative woking models and business ideas are in discussion. They nuture discussions on Pioneering and are looking for new nutrition
- New people joining and linking into the Pioneers Network in Germany and circles, like the Hubs www.self-germany.de
- Social and Sustainability topic are growing fast into business approaches (www.lohas.de, www.zunft.de, etc. )
What hinders us to start directly ourselfs ? ... Why do we need to meet ?
Catching and discussing ideas works out well in a virtual environment. To turn them into concepts and increase maturity it's necessary to meet the people. Based on this tasks can be worked out decentrally afterwards again. But there are still obstacles to "start now..."
- financial insecurity
- inmature concepts to finalize the business plan
- missing commited team-members
- too many ideas to follow
- personal schedules overcrowded
- family and friends looking for their time and space
- concepts requeire more time than expected
- fear of following your own "crazy" ideas
- fear of failure
How to integrate or overcome these ?
...and there are cool places out there to be discovered, like Villa Waldberta !
