Successful Entrepreneur – Some Big Decisions
Posted by admin
So why is this going to be such an interesting year for me?
Well it has already been interesting for a little while as a few big personal things have happened to me.
I have always wanted to be a successful entrepreneur every since I was a kid. The problem was I didn’t have an idea and that put me off. Also, I guess that I probably didn’t have the confidence to do anything about it.
This year saw some big changes for me. There were two big things that set it off. Firstly I moved in with my girlfriend… I was finally growing up!
And secondly, many people where I work were made redundant. I knew that if I didn’t do something now then I wouldn’t fulfil my dream of being a successful entrepreneur.
I had dabbled creating a website that sold an ebook a couple of years before. I actually created two. The first one did ok and is still around today. The second cost me money. It was a shame because I looked at this in the wrong way at the time…totally different from how a successful entrepreneur would.
I reasoned with myself that I had just been lucky with the first one. This led me to not try again. This was a mistake.
So when I was thinking that this is my time to do something I thought that it had to be online somewhere. I did a free course on the internet called The 30 day challenge. This brought my skills up to date.
I was now confident again… confident in becoming a successful entrepreneur.
I then made some calculations. I worked out that I could survive on a part time salary. It would be tight but I could do it. I thought it is now or never so decided to go part time from my normal day job.
When I made the decision I was both excited and had my doubts. It was now or never. I went part time working only 3 days per week in my normal job leaving me some time to work on my new business.
I thought that way would be the best way of doing it.
Successful Entrepreneur – The Beginning
Posted by admin
Hello and welcome to my first post on my brand new website Successful entrepreneur. I have to admit that I am currently not a successful entrepreneur… well not yet anyway but I want to get there.
This is what this website is about. I have an interesting year ahead of me and one of my goals is to be a successful entrepreneur. I will be using this website to record my thoughts, failures, what I learn and hopefully some successes too.
It will be a diary or journal if you like. I am sure that at times I will pour my heart out but I would also like to share in my joys (if I have any).
So if you are here because you want information about a successful entrepreneur then you will have to follow my journey. Hopefully you will be able to see one grow over time.
I am also sure that I will be posting information about other successful entrepreneurs who have been an inspiration to me along the way.
I want to be posting here for as many days as I can, and I will aim to do it at least 5 times per week. There I said it… now that is a commitment I will do my best to keep to.
I am sure that the website will develop a proper structure over time but in the short term I will be using it to just get my thoughts out there. I would love to hear what you have to say. I want you to post comments as I am sure that there are so many people out there who want to be successful entrepreneurs too.
That is it for my first post. I will be going into more detail about how why I am doing this right now in my next.
I am quite excited about this even though I know that at this there won’t be many of you reading this.
Until next time!
