Do you want to launch your own home-based business but are unsure where to start?
Why not begin with you?
The following stages will help you decide what you actually want to do.
But before you do that, get a pen and paper ready.
Done?
Okay, let’s begin.
What Interests You?
Make a list of all the things you enjoy doing in your spare time.
Don’t hold back anything; I’m not here to review your response.
There is no right or wrong in this situation; there is only the truth and what your heart truly feels.
Why are you doing this?
The truth is that hobbies are a fantastic way for everyone to stay motivated and energized.
You would definitely do something for money if you were prepared to do it for free.
The only distinction is that, in comparison to the immediate fulfillment you derive from doing what you love, money will only take a distant second place.
Completely fill out that piece of paper.
What Particular Knowledge Do You Possess?
You would have learned a great deal about a certain subject in your present or previous jobs.
You may have learned something from your boss and become an expert at it.
And, believe it or not, this knowledge can benefit people all across the world.
Keep this from being wasted.
So, make a list of any specialist information you possess.
If you have any particular abilities, such as those in sales, event planning, public relations, accounting, counseling, etc., list these as well.
Where do you start when you enter the bookstore?
That question was asked of me, and I was like,
What?
How does that relate to anything?
It is connected to everything.
Your preferred reading interests are typically indicated by which section of the bookshop you visit first.
I posed the same topic to a member of my team a week ago, and he responded, “Well, I never thought about it, but I actually go to the self-help section first, because I like reading about how I can improve myself to be a better human being.”
Ditto.
The solution to your issue could be hidden in your subconscious behaviors.
Write YOUR favorite section down on that piece of paper because we’re starting to move in the right direction.
What Hobbies Did You Have Five Years Ago?
My life has drastically changed during the past five years.
And you?
What do you enjoy doing now that you just don’t have the time for five years ago?
Did you have a fresh project in mind five years ago, but for some reason it never materialized?
Our lives change constantly, but if there is anything from the past that still inspires us, note it down right away.
What Do You Easily Excel at?
You MUST ask your friends, not yourself, the solution to this.
It won’t matter what you already know about yourself.
Only skills you didn’t know you possessed will lead to the creation of your own home-based business.
Decide to question ten of your closest friends, “What do you think I’m good at?”
Take note of whatever they say, either in your head or on paper.
To get this right, you must never inquire about or contest their assessment of you.
Take everything in, good and terrible alike.
I promise you’ll start learning things about yourself that you didn’t know you were good at by the time you’ve finished with number 10.
I discovered that I am skilled at instructing.
I discovered that I had tolerance when interacting with other people and that I can explain things simply.
You better believe I had no idea until I inquired.
It’s incredible what people know about you that you yourself are unaware of.
The Way Becomes More Clear
Take a close look at your list of all the things you enjoy, all the things you’ve mastered, and all the things you’ve discovered you are naturally talented in after you’ve finished it.
Do you now have a better understanding of your ideal home business?
Do you anticipate an enjoyable journey ahead rather than a daunting one?
Now that you have a variety of home-based company options at your disposal, all you need to do is make a decision.
Pick the project that has you the most fired up and ready to go right now.
Let me tell you the truth if you skimmed this essay without a pen and paper, without making notes, and without asking yourself these questions:
Building a consistent five or six figure income from your own home-based business takes YEARS.
No matter what anyone else says, you can’t achieve it in months.
You will only survive the initial “make-or-break” years if you are engaged in a worthwhile endeavor.
Something that won’t seem like hard work and more like fun.
Seek the truth because it will set you free and point you in the direction you need to go.
It goes without saying that you won’t get anywhere if you don’t know where you want to go.
