Have you ever said something like “it would be great if I could create a business around….”?
It could be a hobby or passion you have, something you do exceptionally well or something you see a need for. Depending on how far along your thoughts are about this business, there are a number of things you could do to just take one step toward creating it. Even if you are not sure you want to dive in fully, what if you tried it, took one step in that direction – what possibilities might open up for you?
Some first steps might be writing a clear vision for what that business would look like if it were up and running today with you at the helm; finding a business that exists that is similar to learn how they structured it; or perhaps trying your hand at it by finding a part time position or volunteering in the same area. For example, before becoming a coach, I thought about professional organizing as a business. After researching it a bit, I found two pro-bono clients to test out my skills and interest. It worked wonderfully, as I realized this was not the business for me! Even though this particular business was not for me, by testing it out I got the “entrepreneurial bug” and quickly found a better fit!
