see a lot of people jump into entrepreneurship with both feet first. While I’m a firm believer that there is no real “ideal time” I do believe that there are some careful considerations to make before going full throttle. Even as a side hustle your business is time-consuming and will stretch you beyond your comfort zone. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
HERE ARE SOME QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
1. Do I have enough resources to support starting this business? You should have enough for either materials, tools, or basic startup costs for your business type.⁠⠀
⁠⠀
2. Do I have the mental capacity to take on this new project? While owning a business is hard you also have to realize there is never really ever a “perfect time”. If we are being honest with each other when is it ever ideal to have an expensive all-consuming project that will take you a while to make money from? Am I right or Am I right? Take inventory of your emotions and evaluate your headspace. ⁠⠀
⁠⠀
3. Have I truly evaluated what I want my business to be? The idea of “I’ll just start and learn as I go” is only going to hurt your business! ⁠You can read about my client’s experience with that ideology here.

Ps: Sometimes it’s hard to think about what you actually want. A little trick that I do is make a list of everything I don’t like and work back from there. Our brains sometimes have difficulty dreaming because we start with limiting beliefs. There is power in naming the things you won’t settle for.
⁠⠀
If you’re struggling with finding the clarity you need in your business or are just too scared to start then come say hello. This is my zone of genius! ⁠
