What is the reality of running and starting a new business?

Do you hate your job? 

Do you spend your time dreaming up weird and wonderful ways to start your own business? 

Do you long for the day when you can finally quit your day job and work for yourself? 

Do you have an idea for an online business, but don’t know where to start? 

If you said YES! – Read on. 

If you said NO! – Read on too, you may be inspired 

A lot of people want to start their own online business but they don’t know where or how. I’ve been there before and it is not as hard if you do your research! My best advice? Talk with other like-minded people that are already working in this industry.

Join online groups that share valuable information that you need, read blogs/magazines dedicated to starting an internet-based company (there are tons out there). 

Attend events that teach you more about running your businesses from home – AND most importantly- mindset is everything. You will succeed if you desire to. 

Make a vision board and look at it every day!

Evaluating your business idea

I know you are an entrepreneur at heart, and the idea of starting your own business is always on your mind. It’s not a bad thing to entertain these thoughts -in fact, it can be refreshing! However, a word of warning.  If you find yourself getting carried away with all that dreaming, take some time out to consider – what comes next? 

Sometimes an idea is just an idea. Not a business model. 

Gather the data, be open-minded and do some research about your chosen industry.

Setting your goals

Yes, yes, yes, you heard it before; you need to have a plan. But you really do. 

Don’t focus on the right now, focus on where you are going and the steps you need to get there. Set yourself small achievable goals every day. Setting and marking a satisfying checklist of your goals boosts you to start working.

Talk the talk and walk the walk

The journey to success begins with a single step ~ (Lao Tzu). You have evaluated your idea for the business and set goals, now it’s time to work hard towards achieving them! 

What holds us back from achieving our business goals is often a lack of self-belief or trust in ourselves. Truth be told, in some cases, it is the closest people to you that hold you back also. This is coming from a successful entrepreneur with multiple successes and failures. You will find your people eventually and take friends or family input with a grain of salt. 

Unless they are wildly successful – then shut up and listen!
