How to Clear the Road toward Entrepreneurial Success
Going from the 9:00 to 5:00 grind to the entrepreneurial spirit may not be the easiest path. But it is something you can achieve. Still, there are several steps you need to take before forging head first into business ownership.
- Get clear! – Getting clear on what it is you want to achieve is an integral first step. It is not as simple as coming up with an idea and writing it down. You have to write down your goals, but even more importantly, you have to break them down. Being specific is not an option; it is mandatory. You need to have clear, specific goals when it comes to starting a new business.
- Create a plan! – Once you are clear on what your goal for your new business is, create a plan for success. Write down what your goal is. How you will achieve that goal in smaller steps? Then break that list down even further.
- Take action! – Next, it is time to take action steps. Action steps need more than just thinking about taking them. Declare them aloud and to everyone. You can discuss what your action steps are. In this way, you are held accountable for your words.
- Delegate! – If you are starting a new business, do not be afraid to delegate tasks. Even if you do not have a business partner or associates yet. One day, delegating will be a task you will have to learn anyhow. Allow family members and friends to help. They can relieve you while you learn what’s necessary to know about your new business.
- Letting go – Sometimes to create something new, we need to let go of something old. So that to clear the path and create a new business, something else will have to fall by the wayside. Your home may need to be a little cluttered or less clean. You may have to let go of a favorite sport. Or end an activity for a while, but it is well worth it in the end.
Keeping your day job is important until you are secure financially in your new business venture. It may be a difficult road to travel, but having an entrepreneurial mindset is a gift. Once you open it, you will be happy that you did.
