How to Start a Business

Did you use the Covid times to think about what you really want to do, googling, “how do I find my purpose?”

Do you feel ready to start a business but aren’t sure how?

There’s only one way to start. Start with your mindset.

But don’t I need a business plan?

A website?

Eventually yes. But first, you need to make sure you have the tools to get over your fear, worry, doubt, insecurity, and imposter syndrome. Trust me, these feelings will be the biggest obstacles to your success.

Of course, you need an idea too, but don’t let not having ‘the perfect idea’ stop you either.

What are your strongest skill sets?

Is there one person that might pay you for that skill set?

That’s all you need to start.

Don’t wait. We need you to start. You have something to share with us that you aren’t sharing and we need it. We really do. What’s next doesn’t have to be perfect. But it does need you to take action. It won’t just show up one day. It will appear through trial and error. It doesn’t have to be the thing you’ll do forever or the thing you’ve searched your entire life to find. Take the pressure off and just start.

It’s not as hard as you think it is to get started. How you will feel after you start? Take on that feeling and let it push you into action.

So what are you waiting for?
