How do small businesses get started?
At some point, the narrative became "Starting a small business means you have to either secure a venture capitalist investment or get a large bank loan." Who started this ugly rumor? You can start a small business with what you have right now. Millions of people for thousands of years have taken their wares to the marketplace. They did it without Ivy League degrees. They did it without venture capitalists. They did it without bank loans. Why can’t you?
