Dear Subscriber,
How to Overcome Startup Fears
Here are suggestions
for getting past the mental traps that might be holding you back from starting
your own business.
While many people dream
about starting their own business, far fewer make it happen. Nearly two-thirds
of American adults have thought about starting their own business, only about a
third of Americans have actually taken the plunge, according to a 2009 FindLaw.com survey. Why? My experience as a management consultant has shown that
irrational fears are one of the main factors holding them back.
The irony is that those
who take responsibility to overcome these mental hurdles and start a business,
often don't look back. Fear is short-lived and often replaced by an experience
of empowerment and a commitment to success.
Are you afraid of taking
the entrepreneurial leap? Here are a few of the false assumptions that are
fueled by fear, along with tips for moving beyond what may be holding you back.

How Small Companies Are Marketing Through
Facebook
Facebook is proving itself a small-business
marketing force. Here are three examples of how it's working.
No movie theater in America
understands the importance and business
value of social interaction
better than the Alamo Drafthouse
Cinema. The 11-theater chain headquartered in Austin, Texas, has featured
marquee attractions that have transformed movie going into a communal
experience: a quote-along screening of Pulp Fiction, the Tough Guy Cinema
series (which revives action hits like the Arnold Schwarzenegger vehicle
Predator,
complete with complimentary cap gun giveaway) and the HeckleVision showcase
(offering quick-witted patrons their chance to eviscerate misfires like M.
Night Shyamalan's
The Happening), for example. Events like
these have earned Alamo Drafthouse the adoration of film geeks as high profile
as director Quentin Tarantino, who holds his semi-annual QT Fest movie and
multimedia event at the downtown Austin location.
"We've developed a
unique fan base, and our patrons are very respectful and knowledgeable about
movies," says Alamo Drafthouse founder and CEO Tim League. "All of
our special events are hosted by members of our programming staff, and we hang out
with the audience after the movie ends. That kind of conversation and dialogue
is very important to what we do."
So is Facebook--now. Alamo Drafthouse has relied on digital
marketing since its inception: League assembled an e-mail list soon after
launching the company in 1997, and also built its first website. He later made
his first foray in social media via Myspace but had a less-than-spectacular
experience.
"I felt obligated
to use it because so many other people were using it, and I felt we had to get
involved," he says. "But I hated it. It never clicked. When a friend
pointed me to Facebook, I stayed up most of the night checking it out. It
clicked immediately."
