Behind every entrepreneur there is a story. Each story has a beginning. All beginnings evolve from an idea.
Every successful business starts with a great idea. You just have to come up with the right idea that allow you to make a profit and live the life you dream of.
So to start up your very own business isn’t rocket science. It’s a step-by-step process. And the first step is to figure out what you want to do, and for that you have to have an idea. I’ll let you in on a secret, every great business that I’m aware of came from an obsession of an idea.
My number one piece of advice I give anyone wanting to start up their own business, particularly online, is do something you absolutely love and make it something that you would do whether you could make money from it or not. My second piece of advice is build a business that matters, that can change the world, while you profit from purpose.
Your passion will show through in your work. If you love what you are doing, and you believe in your product or service totally, it will exude through your business. When you radiate passion, people want to hear about your business. They want to know what makes you so alive!
So you need a business idea that not only can earn you a good profit, but one that fills your life with meaning.
The greatest business ideas are always going to be built around what you love to do by:
[li]using those gifts and talents you are so naturally good at[/li] [li]doing what you love[/li] [li]working in the places you love[/li] [li]dealing with the problems, issues and needs you are passionate about[/li] [li]surrounded by the things, people and experiences you love[/li]Often ideas come from your personal experience and the way you see the world. Within your realm of passions you will see the right opportunities, things that are missing or not done well.
You will know that you can:
[li]fulfill a need within the market[/li] [li]solve a problem others have that you have the answers for[/li] [li]further an issue or cause that you are passionate about[/li]The right idea will come to you when you see the connection between the needs in the marketplace and the work you love to do.
For me my business is all about addressing the issues I love to work on, the problems I love to solve, and the needs I am passionate about fulfilling in the places I love
Great ideas are the beginning of the entrepreneurial journey. My next article will pick up at the point of letting your idea see the light of day.
Until then.
