Too scared to start

Have you ever thought you had the perfect product, or the perfect idea to make money, but for some reason you just couldn't go throuh with it. I seem to have this knack to come up with these ideas, but afraid to invest all of our money into it(i have a wife and 2 kids to feed). so i ask friends if they want part of it. they act like it is a ok idea but don't want to invest in it. so i forget about it until i see it on tv or in a magazine 6 months later. anyone else not have the guts to put your life savings on the line for what you know is a sure thing?

i understand your fear and most people that have started corporations with an idea (think of apple) took a big leap of faith before they made any money at all. i would suggest you talk to friend, do a ton of research and go from there! i have heard a story of 2 Canadian (yay!) guys that hit up their friends for cash because they had this great idea for a game board during the recession ridden 80's and of course, they didnt know if it would be a success or not either...it was a big hit and has had a zillion different spin offs! the game? trivial pursuit!
