December 19, 2020 Published by Thomas Cullen
Can you make money while you are asleep?
You either decide to break free or are forced to break away from paid employment making money for others. Is it time to escape the rigors of being an employee and start your own business?
Being your own boss is an incredible experience of freedom and of taking control of your own destiny when you can find your full potential. It gives you the opportunity of creating your own legacy. https://sherpha.com/training/
Sounds great but you must be strategic when creating your own future otherwise you will waste the most precious resource you have TIME. You will also waste other resources such as your money
You have two opportunities when starting a business either fail or succeed so the quote “Fail to prepare or prepare to fail” Benjamin Franklin is pertinent here from research Bloomberg claims that 80% of small businesses fail within their first 18 months.
Some reasons why
- Feasibility of you as an entrepreneur and your business idea
- Failing to write a realistic business plan based on robust market research?
- Underestimating the investment required to turn cash flow positive?
- Allow for at least 20% extra finance to cover the unexpected?
- Not appreciating how to “package” your goods or service?
- Anticipate it will take twice as long to establish your business?
- Do you have reserves of resources, resilience, and resolve?
- You need to be multiskilled and the ability to be flexible?
Now consider if any of the following applies to you? https://sherpha.com/mentoring-program/
