The Permission Trap

I'm not sure how to quote correctly with out infringing on copyright (maybe someone can clue me in?), but this is a great quote from Kiva.org...

“Many of us, when starting an organization, can fall into the permission trap. There are a series of steps you can traditionally take to get a social enterprise, or any venture, off the ground. There are seminars, conferences, incubators, fellowships and foundations. This leads to trap that is easy to fall into: the process of asking for permission to be an entrepreneur can be inherently anti-entrepreneurial.”

Kiva is cool because they allow you to donate small amounts of money to small business people in developing countries! Check them out.

What do you think? Have you as an entrepreneur ever suffered from Analysis-Paralysis?
