Starting over or plugging in?

When considering a new business idea, you have choices whether to create a new idea or plug into an existing format. There are pros and cons to each of course but in either case, you will want to surround yourself with a support system. If you are in a committed relationship bring your partner into the discussion, and, if you have a relationship with a higher power, pray about it first.  Starting a business is like having a baby… there isn’t a part-time pregnancy, and you will need to have a laser-like focus on your goal as you begin. Think about the lifestyle you want for yourself. Make your plan with the end in mind. How do you want to live and contribute to the daily achievement of your goal? Dream big, as if there is no limit to your success.

As you’re thinking about your own business the first question is:

Are you the “smartest guy in the room” or are you a lifelong learner?  If you are committed to humbly seek a lifetime of learning, you will have the ability to follow a proven system and heed direction. Alternatively, if you have the need to know everything and a do-it-yourself mindset, you may lack the ability to trust a committed mentor. Doing it yourself might be the best option until you find that you’re willing to consider the suggestions of another person or an organization’s leadership. There is no right or wrong answer to these questions but being honest with yourself will help save you a lot of time and frustration.
