There are five questions youe should ask yourself. Write down as many answer as you can think of to each question. These will be the first steps to being your own boss and achieving financial freedom.
1. What am I really interested in? Anything counts here from walking the dog, watching TV, playing a sport, fishing, working with young people. Anything at all which you enjoy doing. You can build up a home business from any hobby - you just have to think outside the box and learn how. Remember your goal - financial freedom.
2. What qualifications and skills do I have? This doesn't mean just what exams or tests you've passed. It includes courses or seminars you might have attended at any time. Don't forget your driving licence and computer skills. These will be almost essential to any entrepreneur. You are aiming at being your own boss.
3. What experience have I got? Not just at work or work-based achievements. Have you done voluntary work, worked on the engine of the car or decorated its bodywork. How are you at putting together flat packed furniture. Anything you have done ever counts as experience. Everything can be the start of your home business. You can and will develop a successful business.
4. How much time can I spare each day/week/month/year to start my business? Assuming that you may have to start your business on a part time basis before developing it full time. Decide how much time you have and stick to it. Don't allow anything short of a total disaster take away your dedicated time. Time is money to the successful businessman or woman.
5. How much money can I use to start off with? Be honest with yourself. If you have absolutely nothing - admit it. You can start from zero and be just as successful in the end as wealthier entrepreneurs. You can build up a cash reserve. It's very easy for people with a pot of money to try to run before they can walk and blow the lot. Be determined to end up financially free.
Your goal shoul be to be able to spend your time and your money doing the things you enjoy with the people you care for.
Back again tomorrow.
