Avoiding the Entrepreneurial Leap

How about skipping the vacation this year and hustling to launch?

This Quick Take features a would-be founder who has outlined plans for two different businesses: one in import distribution, and the other in business process automation. After two years, no real action on either.

Everyone dreams and ideates. If you have already conceived a new business concept and vetted it with your network and trusted advisors, will now be the time for you to stop procrastinating and begin testing it as a side hustle or take the leap to go all in?
