Become an Entrepreneur - Key Skills to Master

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.
Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking.
Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice.
And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary. – Steve Jobs.

In the past two weeks, I’ve shared with you two inspirational stories about two women who weren’t feeling content and decided to step up, and create a work-from-home business for themselves. Independently of where you are now, you’ve the power to change your life and experience more contentment. You don’t have to settle for less!

Now, you might be wondering … it is hard, I need to work more hours, I am too busy, and I don’t have money to start. These are the most common EXCUSES I hear all the time, and I’ve been there myself too; but I’ve realised that baby steps can be taken in meantime, and it makes a huge difference.

THE RIGHT ATTITUDE TO BECOME YOUR OWN BOSS

The reality is, if you’re really serious to take YOUR LIFE in a different direction you need to adopt the right attitude, thinking your way around problems, and having the determination to put the effort in and give it your best shot. TAKE ACTION!

If you look at Debbie – a home-stay- mum – and Sabrina – a millennial who wants flexible working hours and make an impact, you can see they also had their own challenges. The good thing is, if you are really committed to make your life better YOU CAN DO IT. Even if you’re currently employed, you can start by working on your future alongside with your present job. Just like I did!

When I came with the idea to create my blog, I was employed and my weekends were spent working on my project that ultimately will bring me more enjoyment and freedom that I hardly could get if I remained in the same mindset – survival mode and scarcity.

It doesn’t feel like a job! It is hard, it takes time, I have to keep learning (I love this part) and sometimes I get frustrated because the results are not showing up as quick as I expect. But then … I take a few deep breaths and ask myself: Do I want go back to my previous lifestyle? I take a few minutes … and I realise … No, I don’t! I have bigger plans and a bigger purpose. So…keep going!

KNOW YOUR WHY

It is extremely important for you to know your WHY, the reason to continue when the whole world tells you to quit. The process to find your WHY might take some time – BE PATIENT. There are many techniques available nowadays, and I will be sharing some of them here. STAY TUNED. Now, please watch the video below to start.

Important Tip: Accept that your strong “WHY” may lose its effect and no longer keep you motivated. When that happens, go back and find your NEW WHY.

As entrepreneur, you will face many challenges. Nevertheless, more and more people are taking that extra step, because they have found that the old system – trading time for money – doesn’t stimulate creation, growth and freedom. But, if you start to trade value for money, there is space for constant innovation.
