Turning what you love into your life; business plan steps...

                                            

I'm convinced that in this day and age, the majority of us would like to work for ourselves, doing what we love. It is difficult not knowing how to take steps to get to this point, we aren't given an instruction booklet on how to. So here are some tips to getting towards your happiness :).


















SET GOALS

Putting thoughts on paper is most definitely underrated. This is in fact where it all starts. In order for your life aspirations to become effective, writing your goals/dreams/targets on paper/down on something, is an affirmation of your passion and determination.


When you write these goals down, be sure to have it in a place where you can see it, do not put it in a hidden place. The more we see these goals, the more likely we are to act on them.

RESEARCH

Research is essential in order to become knowledgeable on whatever you are heading towards.
This research can look at factors from, improving skills, marketing, budgeting, company knowledge etc..
You have to plan ahead for things like funding/appropriate timing.
Another good thing is to check out and research other successful people doing the same thing you want to pursue.


NETWORKING

Get to know people who are relevant to your future plans. For example, through university you can network with professionals at a careers event/day. Creating profiles e.g. LinkedIn can promote yourself and find other people with the same expertise. In addition to this social media can be a good way of networking, so creating Facebook/twitter/instagram accounts etc...can help you find & connect with the necessary people.

START!

Start moving forward with these plans! Do not wait for tomorrow or when you can afford your dreams. Start with what you can do and prepare/work towards what needs to be done.
It doesn't have to be anything extreme, if you have a concept, form a logo, decide target audience etc...anything you can do, do it now, and all else with surely follow!
