Business Plan

When starting a business, a lot of factors should be put into consideration. The three major factors are : Outline, Construct and Persevere. After you have selected some ideas from your brainstorming to base your business around, have a sketch or diagram. Outline the steps and table down what you’ll need before your business starts. Your expenditures, which will include rent, utilities, permits, licensing, legal fees, inventory, staff, design, marketing collateral, mailing lists, software, advertising and more. In order to accomplish your goals, you have to  write down your ideas on paper with a deadline attached to it. Once you have outlined your ideas, move on to the next step by constructing, putting together and arranging all of your ideas. Have it in mind that starting a business can be a lot of work. You will have a lot of tasks ahead of you which includes creating business cards, brochures, designing your website,  marketing material, consulting with CPA’s, lawyers, in some cases finding and renting or buying a storefront or office, furnishing the business space, getting utilities in place, receiving and organizing inventory, getting a database for your customers and leads and any number of other tasks. Running your business will challenge you in ways you never considered. But when you stumble, pick yourself up and keep going. The main principal step of running a business is perseverance. For you to finish your business plan, you need to keep going, steadfastness. When it all seems tough and impossible, pursue, overtake and recover all. It might take a while , but definitely  you will build a successful business if you have these three strategies in place.

Think Like an Entrepreneur

My biggest problem in becoming self-employed was me. In order to be a self-employed person I had to start thinking like one. I found myself reverting to that nine-to-five mentality. If I wasn’t accomplishing a task every hour, then I must not really be working. Sometimes a self-employed person has to make decisions about her business. Sometimes she is just thinking about a solution to a problem. Sometimes she just has to quiet her mind so new ideas can come. Just because you’re not pounding away at the typewriter every minute doesn’t mean you are not working. I’ve also learned that it’s okay not to answer the phone every time it rings. That’s what voicemail is for, and the same goes for email. At my nine-to-five job I would leave the email program open all day and answer each one as it arrived. It took me a while to realize it’s okay to only check email several times a day instead of constantly being interrupted. It’s actually more productive than having to stop your thought process every time you have mail. At my other job, I was able to let a phone call roll over into voice mail, but it took me a while to be able to shut down the email too. You are going to have days where you feel you didn’t accomplish much. Then again, you’ll have days where you’ll feel you can conquer the world and you’ll be amazed at how much you got done. Some days you may not finish many tasks, but you’ll make a decision on a problem that needs to be addressed. Or, you will have learned a valuable lesson about yourself. And, I had to learn to stop breaking down all my tasks into dollars and cents. I tended to worry about how much I was or was not earning every day. The truth is, some days you are going to make more than other days. If I spent my day on marketing issues, even though I didn’t earn any money from it that day, I would benefit from it some time in the future. Rather than worry about what benefits I do or don’t have, I realized the benefit I have in my business is that I answer only to myself. Everything I do will benefit me sooner or later. Instead of my income being dependent on somebody else’s budget, I can go as far as I dream. And because I’m now doing what I truly love and not what someone else tells me to, I’m much happier and more content. I learned if you start THINKING like an entrepreneur, then you’ll actually be one.

Are you shy?

Do you have difficulty coping with people or situations? Then I have good news for you. You do not have to suffer from shyness and you should not feel insecure and fear that you are being judged with every step you take.

Winning the war with shyness takes practice, but is definitely well worth the effort as the result is increasing confidence and self esteem. Wake up feeling good about yourself, able to face the world with confidence and security and knowing that no feeling of shyness can come in your way of achieving your desires.Because God has not given you the spirit of fear, but of boldness.

There are hundreds of books written on the subject of how to beat shyness and gain confidence, but there are a few techniques that anyone can practice. Here are few suggestions of techniques on how to overcome your shyness:

1. Every morning, as soon as you get up, get in front of a mirror and say out loud “I am fearfully and wonderfully made” Repeat this affirmation with enthusiasm at least ten times everyday until it’s ingrained into your subconscious mind. The results will amaze you.

2. Feel good about yourself. Look your absolute best. Dress up more often. This gives you an extra feeling of confidence and self esteem. On its own just knowing that you look good will boost your confidence and reinforce to others that there are things about you that are worth getting to know.

3. Take a risk at least once a day. It’s very invigorating and conquering fears by taking risks helps you grow in confidence and self esteem. Start with small risks and fears and as you overcome them move onto bigger things. There’s nothing you cannot do. Be confident in knowing that change can only help you grow, and boost your self confidence.

4. When you are engaged in a one to one conversation, or with a larger group of people, let them know that you’re shy. Be yourself and remember, you have no duplicate.This prevents them from misreading you and they are far more likely to invite you into the conversation rather than leave you just listening and wishing you could contribute.

Be unique and authentic. People respect honesty, and vulnerability and you will attract more honest people into your life as a result.

5. Rejection is a fact of life that everyone experiences. It is rarely you that is being rejected. If you are rejected, understand that rejection is not denial. We are all different , with different tastes and likes.We all have different assignments for a specific audience.others. So if people did not receive your message, they’re not the right audience for you.That does not devalue you in any way. Accept this and know that you will get over it. Never take it personally and keep in mind that if people reject you it is because of their own likes and dislikes and not because of who you are. You are equally entitled to reject others because of your likes and dislikes.

6. Engage in activities that make you feel excited and good about yourself or start a hobby that gives you a feeling of relaxation. This could be anything from gardening to cooking. Take some lessons, learn or master a musical instrument or take singing lessons. Do something that excites you and take a risk. Exploring things that make you feel excited is a great antidote for shyness.

Can True Happiness Be Defined?

Happiness is one of the most commonly used words. We all say – the children look so happy. I am very happy today. You don’t look happy. Any reason? How to make a happy world? How to avoid sad feelings and feel happy?  The discussion about happiness is endless. Does science give a common definition of happiness? General answers are available that say that happiness is a state when one feels good, elated , contented, good etc. Is happiness a life long gift or an emotion experienced for a short time.

If you win the lottery, you will be happy. As you spend all the money, you become unhappy again. When you’re called  a good person, You feel happy. If you feel sick, you  feel unhappy and when you receive healing you feel happy. We have no control. Outside forces and events control our emotions. 

Let us find out what is not happiness. Low self esteem, feelings of despondency, sadness, guilt, helplessness, frustration, low interest, uncertainty, and all such negative emotions are not happy emotions. They rather make us unhappy. 

Now let us talk about what happiness is. Feeling good, cheerful outlook, positive thoughts, winning attitudes, satisfied living, enjoyment, and all such emotions that make us feel good are happy feelings. What is true happiness?

True happiness is enjoying your own company and living in peace and harmony with your body, mind and soul. To be truly happy, you don’t need other people or material things. Happiness is the consequence of personal effort and living a life of purpose. When you touch lives or someone smiles just because of you, you’re happy. True happiness is that inner satisfaction you have knowing that someone out there enjoys a privilege as a result of your input and efforts in their lives.

 So happiness is not something that we feel in equal measure. I may be very happy when I watch the star lit night, just like the men of old when they saw the brilliant star that led them to baby Jesus, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy. So each one of us has his/her own happiness.

Some of us are happy when our prayers are answered, some when they can do a lot of creative work, some when they can make others feel good and so on. All of us have our unique set of values and desires. So find what makes you happy and live a fulfilled life.
