But breaking these monumental tasks into smaller ones will allow you the opportunity to chip away at building the foundation and get you closer to either launching your business or to begin growing it.

There are a multitude of reasons why people want to start businesses (including side gigs), but there are also a million reasons why they drag their feet.
