Hey Entrepreneurs!
Starting a business at any age is an exciting adventure. It’s so exciting that you’re probably eager to dive right in and start selling something so you can start making money.
But if you jump in without a plan, your chances of success go way down. Like with any goal you’re chasing, it’s important to plan first, then DO the things you planned.
Before you even start writing your plan, though, you should ask yourself three very simple, very important questions:
- Why?
- Who?
- What?
We’ll start with the first question today: WHY?
Why do you want to start a business?
Spend about 10-15 minutes brainstorming answers to this question…without using the word money.
Of course you want to make money because money is important, but don’t let that be your main reason for being in business. Your reason for starting a business should come from the heart. It should be something you’re passionate about and express how you want to make a difference in this world.
For example, I started a business called Dream Doers Publishing because I want to publish books, cds, videos and other information type products that teach you how to always find a way to do what you dream when you stick to your strengths.
The main part of my business right now is this Dream Doer League. And the purpose of the Dream Doer League is to shape a community of young adult Dream Doers who live with unshakable confidence, chase their unbreakable dreams and experience unstoppable success as they grow to become leaders in the home, the church, the business world and the political world.
I am in business to help you DO what you DREAM.
So why do you want to start your business? Leave a comment and let me know!
To your dreams,
Bonnie Jean
