Starting a Business - Freedom Can Come in Three Simple Questions

One definition of freedom is, "liberty from rule by another." Many hope for freedom to quit their job or start a new business, but few truly succeed at achieving liberty from the rule of another. Don't be discouraged. Freedom is within your grasp...you can escape the daily grind. And here's where to start:

Question 1: If you could do anything, money's no object, (but you have to work) what would you do?

Most people's dreams are snuffed out by the responsibilities of kids and bills; but, spending some time to daydream and answer this question is crucial. Dream a vision that drives you to sheer excitement then ask the second question....

Question 2: What's stopping you from doing what you want to do?

Most people I talk to about this answer with a one word answer, "Money." The vision they developed in answering the first question suddenly becomes dim as they slip back into their disappointing reality...back to the daily grind. But it doesn't have to be this way. You can move on to the third question and start building towards the dream.

Question 3: What do you need to do to overcome the obstacle described in Question 2?

If you need money to start a business or to be able to quit your job and start a new career, start by paying off your debt. This will give you more disposable income. Then find an additional source of income. You can start a part-time job or a part-time home-based business. Start saving until you have the money you need to achieve your dream.

Freedom is closer than you think. Just start and don't let any of your old excuses stop you.
