A recent statistic on inc.com suggested that two-thirds of people under thirty want to start their own business. Small business ownership is one route to financial and career independence, so it’s not surprising the number is so high. What is surprising is how few of those people will actually try to make their dreams a reality. The reason for this is that people look at starting a small business as a scary, risky proposition.

Starting your business doesn’t have to be scary – just get over these myths and you’re halfway there!
