Omar Zenhom argues that starting a business doesn't require much money or time, just a few hours each weekend. He cites Felix Dennis's How to Get Rich to show that what matters is compulsive drive, not casual desire. If you feel genuinely compelled, small consistent effort can turn an idea into something real.

Do you want to do this? Do you actually want to start a business? Do you actually want to be an entrepreneur? Do you actually want to create something in the world and see it manifest? And if you're saying yes, why haven't you done it already? Why haven't you launched that business or a website or a blog? All this stuff doesn't cost money. It's free. It doesn't cost that much time. You could have done on your weekend for a couple hours here and there. It's crazy how much time can compound and give you momentum. Like if you just spent three hours. every Saturday for the next 6 Saturdays, you probably could launch a pretty good product out there, a pretty good business, a pretty good offering. I'm a big believer that people that are compelled to do something get things done. One of my favorite lines is from a book called How to Get Rich by Felix Dennis, and he says there's a big difference between desire and compulsion. You have to have a compulsion to start a business because it takes that to survive, but also to thrive in business.
