Hobby or business? Have you ever heard that a large percentage of your occupation is really classified as someone having a hobby?
So what are you? A hobbyist or a real, dyed in the wool entrepreneur?
Sometimes we have to ask ourselves the hard questions and dig deep for their answers, being brutally honest with ourselves. What is it that I really desire?
Am I really willing to work hard, commit, & have the tenacity to endure for the long haul & sacrifice to get there?
Are we running our business with good retail management techniques? Do we have a written plan? With outlines for what our advertising campaign will be? Will it include logo’d promotional items that can bring a return on investment? That brings attention to our ideal client that makes them sit up & think, wow, I would like to work with this company/coach/consultant. A written budget? A clean mailing list? Professionally printed brochures, business cards, marketing materials? Are you collecting email addresses?
And you think, oh my, where do I start? Just start!! Ask a friend or hire a coach to help you get there. An accountability partner seems to be a good motivator for some of us!
Start small, but write it down, give yourself a one year plan, a 3 year plan, a 5 year plan. You can get there!
Get it all down in ink & then imagine, vision yourself there at your one year goals, your 3 year goals, your 5 year goals. What does it look like, smell like, what is happening around you & where are you?
Bring all the details into play, write it down, draw it, cut it out of magazines, display it, & you will be surprised what your subconscious brain will go to work on while you are doing the daily consistant work!
