"In this economy?".

I'm 36 years old, born and living in a country with perpetual economic and social crisis.

I have not seen a single period of true stability and proper conditions through my whole lifetime. Yet people still do business, have kids, some even make piles of money.

If you are waiting for the perfect situation to take action and do what you want to do, you will end up doing nothing, as such conditions do not exist.

The real challenge is acting through improper conditions and still get results, even if not perfect. Or, as you say, willing.

Thanks for the read, Don!

Today is a terrible day to start a business.

Tomorrow will be a terrible day to start a business.

The best time was yesterday, but we can't go back.

I tell my students that it is never a great time to start a business. It is difficult, challenging, and incredibly stress-filled. You have to be crazy to start a business in the creative arts.

I love crazy people, they are sometimes the most successful creative entrepreneurs.

Such a great observation and articulation of a very common and often ignored issue.
