When you make the decision to start a business , it’s a good idea to first decide why you’re doing it, then grab a piece of paper and write it down. Your reason may be -
to spend more time with your family;
you like the idea of being your own boss;
you’re a stay-at-home Mum or Dad;
dreaming of a better lifestyle;
needing an extra or part-time income;
you need a compelling reason that will have you leaping out of bed every morning to get going! There will be days when things don’t go right and you’ll wonder why you ever thought owning your own business could work for you! That’s when you need to go and read your ‘Why’ again - and remember your reason for making your decision. My Why- is to leave a mark on the world and a legacy for my children and grandchildren
When you write down your ‘Why’ be specific and paint a picture.
If your reason is wanting to spend more time with your family, write down what you would do if you had that time, where you would go and how your day would look Write down the positive things it would bring to your life. You might like the idea that you don’t have to answer to anyone else That's another one of my whys
You may need an extra or part-time income to put your kids through college or university, to buy that dream car, or just to pay the bills and make ends meet. Again write down and visualize how the exta income could give you more options if you had those extra $$s each month.
You get the idea … be specific about why you want to own your own business and the difference it would make to your life. It might not seem like much but it is a very powerful action. Love and Belief Lillian www.marykay.com/LMWilliams09
