What Business Are You In?
It occurred to me as I was sitting around the other day that I’d never stopped to ask what business people reading this blog might be in. Or if they’re in business at all? What if they’re only thinking about it?
I know it’s not always easy to decide what business you might want to start so I thought about this and figured it would make something worthwhile to write about.
For me I needed to look at what I was happiest doing. I knew I enjoyed writing and tinkering with computers and software so after several false starts I started up my internet marketing business which I now run from home.
Why am I saying this? Well there was little point in me starting a window cleaning business because it would do nothing from me (plus I suffer from vertigo… well just a little bit..) personally or professionally. Nor would being a gardener or electrician (I electrocuted myself in the mouth once so I decided against any further electrical shennanigans).
Look at what you love doing as a hobby. Can you turn this into a business - maybe even just part-time for extra cash? Look at what you’re good at. Look at your strengths, abilities and aptitudes and then jot down some ideas on the types of business you might be able to start. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised at just how many ideas come up.
