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.
