Remember the last time your boss made you feel small, you swore that you were going to quit and start your own business. You’ve dreamt of starting your own business for years. You’ve secretly mentioned it to those closest to you. Maybe now is the time.
Not a day goes by when I don’t witness at least a dozen ads—from TV, popups, on the radio—screaming that I can become fabulously wealthy by starting this business or that. Get-rich-quick schemes abound. Magazines and newspapers are full of work-at-home opportunities.
I will sometimes hear a statement that goes like this: “I would love to start my own business, but I don’t know what business to start.” Most often, this is not a good sign. In my experience, if you’re going to be successful you need to be passionate about your start-up idea. You need to have envisioned yourself operating your business. You should have built a knowledge base around your business concept.
I think the most successful microBusinesses are an integration of living and working. They’re organic. They’re symbiotic. Some of the most important reasons people want to start an mBiz is that they are hungry for authenticity, values, dignity, and a measure of freedom.
The most successful mBiz owners are those who love what they’re doing.
