5 Steps Towards

Starting Your New Business

Fundamentally, the first step is to stop saying it can’t be done, or that the individual can’t start and manage their own business endeavor. In moments of insecurity, the

individual need look no further than their resume—a

listing of themselves, their career and their

accomplishments—to know they are more than equipped

in business experience to function as an entrepreneur.

Next, once the individual has bolstered their own sense of confidence, they must seek

as much advice as is possible. Ask everyone possible on what the individual is best equipped for and, in turn,

listen very carefully. Doing so could offer a number of surprising perceptions,

including insights into how the individual is perceived,

especially in terms of strengths and weaknesses.

Before moving forward with creating the

business, the individual must also make peace

with his or her perceived past disappointments and mistakes. If the individual continues to allow these

items to work as a barrier, even the best intentions

are doomed to fail.

The final step before truly starting the endeavor is to set

one’s own criteria; finalize the parameters of the plan of

action, including what products, services or work procedures best suits the

individual’s personality. This also includes who the

entrepreneur may wish to work with, and what the

work culture should feel like.

Finally, it is important to remember that taking the first step in creating the business doesn’t need to be some form of a grand gesture; make a list of things that can be completed

right now and, from there, choose the easiest and least intimidating and proceed full speed ahead.
