7 STRATEGIC TIPS FOR STARTING YOUR IDEAL BUSINESS

  • REALISATION that your current job & lifestyle isn’t working – Write a list, don’t bring these issues into your new business

 

  • WRITE A LETTER TO YOURSELF – What do you want to have accomplished in 5 years time?

 

  • ESTABLISH YOUR CRITERIA – Use your ‘5 year plan’ to establish what you want your business to look like (e.g if you open a shop it won’t give you flexibility as a Mum. You’ll need to be there to open and close it – think carefully about your own criteria)

 

  • DRAW UP A LIST – Write down all the sensible AND crazy business ideas you could do

 

  • TEST YOUR LIST – Go through every idea and test it out against your criteria

 

  • SHORTLIST – This is VERY important. Go and do work experience at your shortlist of business ideas, i.e at an online brand, in a shop etc so you can establish the REALITY of a business

 

  • CHOSEN IDEA – What idea keeps resonating with you? What will help create your ideal lifestyle
