Ready? Set? Plan… Do Not Pass “Go” Until You’ve Got Your Plan In Place

Starting Your Dream Business

Once you have determined that you have the necessary traits, skills and passion to become an entrepreneur, the next step will be to start up your dream business.

Getting started with your dream business may be the easiest part of the process, or it may be the hardest. It really depends on your specific situation. Some would-be entrepreneurs are raring to get started, while others are bogged down with doubts and procrastination.  It’s okay to have doubts, everything you’ve likely experienced thus far has set you up for them. 

Here are some quick pointers to slaying the doubt dragon…

Avoid coming up with excuses why you shouldn’t start your own business. Once you have made the important decision that YES you want to become an entrepreneur, skip the excuses and start the process.  Get into motion ASAP! 

Avoid the quicksand that is known as procrastination. This stuff will get all over e’rything!  And it doesn’t wash out easily.  When you spot quicksand, or you notice the world getting taller, get into motion.  Reach out to a mentor.  Chat with a super-optimistic friend.  You know who to call…yes, her. Call HER! Whatever it takes, do not let that quicksand getcha!

Putting off the process of starting your business for any reason can lead to getting stuck and extinguishing that fire in your belly. Avoid the deathtrap of procrastination at all costs.

And lastly do whatever it takes to motivate yourself to get started.

Embody your “Why”

Tattoo your WHY on your face if you have to! On second thought, don’t do that. It should be prominent in your daily life, but the face ink may be a tinge too much.

Doubt, fear, worry and a lack of purpose can all end up preventing you from getting your dream business up and running. Focus on WHY you want to become an entrepreneur (the trifecta of your passion, curiosity and superpower) and use that to motivate yourself into taking those first few steps. The first couple of steps are the most important ones. And often the more difficult. 

Cultivate your core beliefs.

Now is the time to develop your business’s core beliefs. This will help you to create the right kind of company, one that matches your passion and motivates you to always move forward. Your business’s core beliefs will be a major building block of it, so make sure that these beliefs are worthy in your eyes. They will also determine how you proceed to make decisions in the future and which direction the business takes your life.
