起業希望と準備　Preparation to be an entrepreneur

3週間ほど前の連休中に千葉から若者が訪ねてきました。尾道で今年年末に起業を希望しているとのことでした。
真面目そうな若者でしたので、一時間ほど話しましたが、準備が一年足らず・・・・、という彼でしたので、仕事にもよるが新しい事を始める準備には5年は必要だろう、と言ってあげました。他にもいくつかの経験談を披露しました。
起業相談、脱サラ相談を受けた時には、先ずは止めなさい、と私は言うのですが、最終的には本人のやる気、持続力、生活力、そしてオンリーワンになれる資格や能力を持っているかでしょうか。
頑張ってほしいですが。
A young man from Chiba visited me during the on-and-off holidays about 3 weeks ago. He wants to start his new business in Onomichi around the end of 2017.
He looked honest and I talked with him for about one hour, finding that he has now been preparing his new business for less than a year. Then I told him that he should prepare at least for 5 years to start a new business though it depends, adding some my personal experiences during the past. 
When I lend my ear to their quitting jobs or starting new businesses, I make it a rule to say them to stop it at first.
But eventually, it is up to their eagerness, enduring strength, ability to earn their living and qualification to be only one.
I hope he continues to trying hard.
