For many working mothers,
leaving a dream behind 9-5 is starting a life and business that they dream of
for their family.
One of the first obstacles to
moving forward with our dreams is that "I don't know what kind of business
to start."
If you want to attract the
attention and encouragement to pursue this dream, it is important to tackle
this wonderful business idea within yourself (I believe we all have the same).
Our business idea can also
make or break how successful our business is and most importantly determine if
we create the lifestyle we really want for our own family.
So how do you know what your
great business idea is? Here are 5 steps to get you started:
Explain your "why"
Great
business ideas are built around your "why". There is a deep
fundamental drive behind why you want to start your own business. As working
mothers, we already have a strong "why" to provide financial security
for our families or to be more flexible in spending time with our children.
Now
we need to go one step further and determine the legacy we want to leave in the
world with our business. This is the "why" that makes us go to bed in
the morning. Instead of doing something we love, it feels like we have to
"do" it. When we don't clearly understand our "why" then we
risk starting a business that we don't really like, but that we thought we
should "start", Or thinking that will make us the most money.
So
before you have a "why" to start a business, think about the changes
you want to make in the world, and then come up with your own business idea.
Show off your gifts and abilities
Now
that you are clear on your "why", it is time to unveil your greatest
gift and talents you have to show the world. Embracing your gifts will help us
develop a business idea that we like and feel passionate about. It will also be
one of the secrets to grow our business and bring in money.
Ask
yourself these questions. What do you like to do? Are you naturally good? What
do people look for in you to help them? Ask others what they see as your
abilities. Read my previous post on how to grow your biggest gift through the 5
step gift process.
Your lifestyle
Business
Ideas You as a business owner need to adapt to a lifestyle. Do you want to be
able to travel and run your own business from anywhere in the world? Or you may
want to leave your job for a long time to find a business that allows you to
stay home most of the time. Would you love to have a storefront where you can
get your customers to interact and showcase your products on a daily basis? Get
it Do you want to create more flexibility and independence and not want to be
on a 9-5 schedule? What lifestyle do you want to create with your business?
Being clear on this from the beginning will ensure that you will not find
yourself in a business that looks like it has just taken your place in a few
months from now. You want to make sure you build a business that creates the
lifestyle you dream of.
Be creative
You
know what you're good at, you know, it's time to dump her and move on. Start by
brainstorming all the business ideas that you can possibly think of that will
showcase your greatest gift and fulfil it for some reason. If you want to make
life easier for a new mom, she can create a new product that you want. If you
want to help people have a safer financial future, you can use your great
accounting skills to teach them how to manage their money for the greatest
wealth.
Don't
back down Brainstorm about every possible idea you can think of. Even if it
sounds crazy at first, write it down. Some crazy ideas end up being a very
successful business.
Share your idea
Once
you've made up your mind, pick the top 3 ideas that you like the most. Then
start testing them. Share your thoughts with people. Your friends, family,
acquaintances. Identify the type of person who will be your customer
specifically for this idea and seek their opinion. You may find them on online
forums, or on local meet-up groups. Get stuck where they do and get their
feedback on your idea and use it wherever you want.
This
is a great place to start to see if it is affecting the desire or need of your
target market. Ask them out well if they are no longer absorbed in the
connection
