Recently a young woman told me she knows she wants to be an entrepreneur, but she doesn't really know what lane she start in.
The best advice I could give was get to know yourself. Meet new people, have new experiences and spend a week straight only looking at things on social media that you don't usually watch.
Finding the perfect business venture can be a real challenge, but don't trip! If you're in the same boat this post is for you.
Here are my 6 steps you can take to find the right move for you, and make it happen like a straight boss:
1. Discover your passions and interests: Start by tapping into what makes you tick. What are you passionate about? Think about the things that light you up, and get excited about the possibilities.
2. Check out market trends and needs: Be a trendsetter, not a follower! Look for problems people need solved that align with your passions and interests. You never know what untapped opportunities you might find. Its all about growing the problem solver mindset
(A dollar earned = A Problem Solved)
3. Evaluate your skills and experience: Don't hate on yourself. Be real, you've got some serious skills! Consider your strengths and weaknesses, and figure out how you can use those strengths to create a kick-ass business.
If you're not good at anything yet, try something and commit to it for at least 6 months. When you start out you'll probably be ass- but that's ok lol. I'm great at a lot of things I used to be terrible at.
Its about the journey. By month 6 you'll be too nice with it and confident enough in yourself to consider starting a business around it. The biggest thing is to not quit what you try before 6 months ends.
4. What resources do you have? Whether it's money, time, beauty, social connections, talent or other resources, you need to figure out what you've got to work with. Determine what additional resources you may need to bring your business venture to life. Ask people what they think you have going for you.
5. Get creative: Put on your thinking cap and brainstorm some business ideas! Think about how much effort or time each idea might take, including the demand for the product or service, the competition, and your ability to execute the idea. You will have to invest money and time so ask yourself what it cost.
6. Test the waters: Now's the time to make waves! Test out your ideas before diving in head first. This could mean conducting market research, creating a prototype of your product or testing your idea on a small scale.
Remember, finding the right business venture takes time, effort, and a healthy dose of not caring what people think. You might have to fail a few times before you find your sauce. Don't be afraid to take risks and try new things. If at first, you don't succeed, try, try again! Have fun and don't quit. Like 50 said, "Get Rich or Die Trying"
