Getting Started In Your New Business

by Robert Imbriale

You're sick of working for somebody else. You think you can really do a better job than the person you are working for can. And, you have saved up the money you think you'll need to start your very own business. What's next?

The next step is to decide what it is you want to be doing with your career. Be careful here. All too often I find that my clients have left a secure full time job, with benefits and all, only to find that what they have actually done is swap working for somebody else with working for themselves. Nothing has really changed for them except that they work longer hours and get paid much less! This is not the place you want to be.

It's time to decide. But for most of us, decision-making is not an area where we are the strongest. Most of us actually spend the better part of our lives avoiding decisions! In order to make the right decision, it's important that you understand what it is you really want out of your life. Here's a quick way to find out.

Ask yourself this question: If time, location, money, education, relationships, etc were of no consequence, what would you do with your life? Where would you live? How much money would you be making? What kind of car would you be driving? Who would your friends be? Who would you spend most of your time with? How many children would you have? Once you think of any answers to these questions, write them down!

Now, answer these questions. Where are you right now as compared to where you want to be? How much are you earning right now? Who do you spend most of your time with? Are you in a relationship, or married? Where do you live? What kind of car do you drive?

What you have just done is defined, in simple terms, where you are today and where you want to be tomorrow. All that's left is to decide how you're going to get there!

To begin to understand what it will take for you to live your dreams, ask yourself these questions. What has to happen in order for me to earn the amount of money that I want to be earning? What type of work can I do that will fulfill my financial as well as my personal goals? What can I do today that will begin to bring me in that direction? Would starting my own business be the answer or would changing job be the right decision for me?

You should now have a basic blueprint for not only what you really want out of life, but also and idea of what type of business or job you'll need to be in to get where you want to go. This is the "how." As long as you have the "what" and the "why," the "how" becomes the easiest part of all.

Your next move is to figure out the "how." If it's a business you've decided that you need to start, now is the time to go to the library and get all the information you can find about the industry.

Why wait? Go register your business today! Now is always the best time to take action. Don't make the mistake of waiting until "everything is just right," because life is dynamic and we are always in a state of constant change. There is no better time than the present!

This is the very first part of achieving any goal. First, decide what it is you really want. Then, ask yourself why you want it. What will it give you? How will it make you feel?

All that's left after that is figure out the mechanics, and that's the easy part. There are books written in every possible business or industry by people who have mastered the "how."

Get those books and start doing whatever it is you need to be doing today in order to reach your goals! And if a web business is what you would like to have, there are a couple of links below to help you get going with the basics, then write to me and let me know how you're doing.
