Define "hard to start". Trouble turning over? Turning over and not firing?

I trouble shooted today by turning the key to the "on" position and waited for the antitheft light as well as all other lights to go off except for the engine light airbag which stayed on because I had not actually started it yet and when I went to the "start" position it started a lot better with only making 2 reps before starting just started having an issue before today starting it by just sticking the key in and starting it up without waiting for the lights such as antitheft etc this where the turning over took about 8 reps before it started up so I guess going to the "on" waiting for the lights on the dash to go out is the way I should of been starting my car all along not sure if long term use the old way caused Mod to key issue or other issues ???
