Excited to see an article like this!
Empowering article and I love to see it. Guys and gals, get off your social anxietal butt and make things happen!
Having started a tech business and failed and then starting another and succeeding, trust me - the failure is worth the success!! There is little more rewarding than running your own business and making it successful and you have far more tools at your disposal than you think to make this happen. If you have the desire - conquer the fears and do it!
Start thinking about it today how you will have your own business in 6 months or a year from today. Just think about how things work. Don't worry about the technology so much or its 'perfection', but how you envision your business. What it looks like. How it runs. What kind of culture you want to provide. How you will change the lives of those who work with you.
Just start thinking. Make it happen!

P.S. Remember to hire the people with the skills that you don't have. For me, it was marketing (finding new clients). Found someone who needed a tech guy to do the behind the scenes work and help with the sales side - which is what I am good at. Compliment each other. Know your strengths and weaknesses - be honest with yourself for both the positives and negatives (concentrate on your positives!).
