Start a Business-Where does your drive come from?
Start a Business-Where does your drive come from?
Whatever your reasons to start a business it is worth considering why you are venturing out now. Maybe you are young and totally confident in your abilities; maybe you have spent years in the corporate world and have had enough of the hours and ever increasing pressures and responsibilities or maybe you are somewhere in between.
Regardless of where you are now, look back into your own past and consider how you made the choices that led you to your present situation. Did you have parents that instilled the traditional college, corporate job, retire happy for the rest of your life mentality? Maybe you had working class parents who wanted something “better” for you.
If you are a parent consider your own children and the future you wish for them, this is an especially important exercise.
What you say about your job, your ability to earn income, your general satisfaction or lack of satisfaction about your work is what they will believe is possible for them when they become adults.
It is no accident that Cally Tibert, age 10, along with Olivia Keating, age 12 of Rockport, Maryland started their own business making “FriendClips”. Cally’s mom and aunt both run their own businesses.
Your children learn what is possible from you. They notice how you feel and what you say about the work you do; your present actions, words and behavior are teaching them everything they will base their financial future on.
If you are struggling for the courage to start your own business it may be because of the programming you received as a child. Your parents, doing the absolute best they could with what they knew at the time, were teaching you how to relate with money just as you are teaching your children now.
As you continue on your path to discover your perfect business and you feel the twinge of doubt or fear, remember, that is coming from an old memory that has nothing at all to do with what you are really capable of.
Trusting your desire to start a business is the first step in remembering the you who has no fear and knows no limits. When you struggle, remember little Cally Tibert and gain strength from the knowledge that you are changing the future for your children by what you do for yourself today.
