What is a business opportunity? This article will show you a proven process you can use to determine the best business opportunity for you.
You may have heard the saying, "find something you like to do and then figure out how to get paid to do it.
" This is especially valid when you consider the time, commitment and energy required to get your own business off the ground.
If you begin your search for a new business opportunity by looking to those interests that inspire you with passion and enthusiasm, you are more likely to remain persistent through the inevitable set-backs and tough times.
So, how do you go from dreaming to doing? Follow these steps.
Do not advance to the next step until you complete the present step in its entirety.
1) Define what it is that you want.
Create a clear picture of exactly what you want this business to do for you.
2) Make sure that your area of interest, hobby etc.
can actually be turned into a lucrative business.
Is anyone else in that business making money.
If you are going to be first, beware.
That may be a sign that it is not a good business idea.
3) Research everything.
Get to know your newly chosen industry very well.
This is the part where you do everything you can to lessen your risk.
4) Set goals.
Write down specific measurable goals and constantly check back to assess your progress.
Become accountable by sharing your goals with someone who is a supporter.
This will greatly increase your likelihood to succeed.
5) Develop a strategy.
Break down your goals from step four into smaller items and apply your research from step three to accomplish them.
6) Implement.
Don't get paralysis by analysis.
It is important to plan and lay groundwork, but to succeed, you must now take action! The action part can be difficult, but coaching can help.
Seek out people with knowledge and experience; utilize their resources for your own good.
