How to prepare to leave your job and start a business
Have you come to the decision that it’s time to leave your job so you can focus on your business?
That is a very exciting time. But if you want to do things right,
you need to have a plan in place to ensure your success. Leaving your job can temporarily remove your financial support and this can put tremendous stress on your life. When you leave your job, it can cause you to end up in fear mode worrying about when the money is coming. Fear can easily undermine you.
So, you need to have a plan in place to make sure you are all set up and know what to focus on. In the Home Study System, I cover how to set up a plan so you know at-a-glance what you are going to be doing to drum up business all year long. This will keep you on track so that you know what you are doing each week and each day to market yourself.
Here are some items your plan might include:
- BNI group- Toast Masters- Joint Ventures- Coffee dates- Seminars- Speaking gigs- Ezine- Association meetings- Women’s networking, etc.
This plan is great because it will help you sleep at night. How? Well, you will have all these things scheduled with at least one thing every day that’s going to bring in clients, which can be very reassuring. Plus, that’s when you’ll start to see results.
One thing that makes a huge difference is having the right people around you. When you go out on your own, you’ll need that support. Whether you get some coaching or join a mastermind group, this makes all the difference.
