Imagine earning $4,000 a day, comfortably seated at your kitchen table, dressed in your favorite loungewear. Sounds like a dream, right? Well, it's time to turn that dream into reality. This article will guide you on how to start your entrepreneurial journey, build your vision, and ultimately achieve your financial goals.
The first step towards achieving this dream is to educate yourself about the intricacies of running a business. As you read this, you might be considering becoming an entrepreneur. But here's a revelation - the moment you start contemplating a business startup, you've already embarked on the entrepreneurial journey. You need to envision your business as already operational.
Every successful business, from KFC to Coca Cola and McDonald’s, started with a vision. As you read this, you're already in the process of building your vision. However, many budding entrepreneurs make a common mistake at the start - they base their business plans solely on income potential.
While it's true that the primary goal of any business is to make money, focusing solely on the financial aspect can be a pitfall. Money is a concept, a means to an end. The real value lies in what you plan to do with the money you earn. Therefore, the first question you need to ask yourself is why you want to start a business. What are your personal goals in terms of lifestyle?
Many people aspire to start their own business to escape the 9-to-5 grind, gain independence, and quit jobs they dislike. While these are valid reasons, they are not enough. You need to have a clear picture of what you want to achieve.
To do this, visualize the lifestyle you want. Spend some time each day imagining your ideal life. Picture yourself working with people you enjoy, spending quality time with loved ones, and living a life free of financial worries. Write down your visions and dreams in a positive and accountable manner.
For instance, "I want to quit that job I don't like" could become "I want to start my own business in the fishing industry, which has been my hobby for 10 years. I aim to make a comfortable living from this business by the 30th of September 2000."
Similarly, "I want to stop working from 9 to 5, five or six days a week" could transform into "I want to spend most of my time enjoying myself and playing with my kids. Therefore, I plan to dedicate no more than 4 to 5 hours a day, 4 days a week to my fishing business."
Your goals should be:
Regularly practicing this exercise will clarify your goals and act as a motivation for your business. It's not just a psychological boost, but a deep introspection on what you truly expect from life. Once you start visualizing your goals, they will become so real that you'll want to live them every day.
Spend the next three days imagining and discovering what you really want and how you want it to be. Write it down as guided. Then, you'll be ready to develop your business further.
