Do You hate your job?

Are you one of the many that just hate going to work each day?   

Maybe you have even thought of owning your own business, becoming an entrepreneur even.  

Why should something that is a necessity be the one thing we really just do not enjoy?  So for 2012 let’s make some changes for the positive.

If you have been dreaming of owning your own business, let’s take a look at what you would like to do. 
 
What are you good at?  What are your traits, strengths, things you love to do?

We can take a look at your “list” & see how we can make it work for you.  And turn it into something that you can smile about.   

Going to work each day can be a pleasure & even fun!

Some of it is in the perspective, some of it is that we are doing something we love.

Let me tell you, I can certainly help you avoid some of the pitfalls of starting or buying your own business as I have done it several times now.

I just love seeing faces light up when they are truly doing something that is right for them, inspires them, & they love doing!  Life is for living happily, even if it is Work!

Hobby or Business?


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!
