I am starting a collection of barriers to enterprise – reasons why people do not put their enterprising ideas into practice.<\/p>\n

My collections is a little small at the moment – so please help me by using the comments box to add to the collection:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. If I start my own business I will lose my benefits and be worse off – The Benefits Barrier<\/li>\n
  2. I don’t have the ability to run my own business – The Confidence Barrier<\/li>\n
  3. I don’t have any ideas for a new business – The Creativity Barrier<\/li>\n
  4. Whatever I try to do will end in a mess – The Confidence Barrier II<\/li>\n
  5. I don’t have any cash to help me start up a business – The Access to Finance Barrier<\/li>\n
  6. I can’t start a business – who would look after the kids – The Childcare Barrier<\/li>\n
  7. I haven’t got anywhere to run a business from – The Premises Barrier<\/li>\n
  8. I haven’t got any way of getting around – the Transport Barrier<\/li>\n
  9. If I start a busniess the taxman will not make it worth my while – The Taxation Barrier<\/li>\n
  10. I don’t know how to go about employing people – The ‘HR’ Barrier<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    So please add to my collection – either new barriers or different examples of the barriers already identified. Then perhaps we can look at ways to remove them…<\/p>\n
