8 Tips featured in the segment:
By Tamara Monosoff
- Take a stand for yourself: If you are dissatisfied with your current circumstances no one will fix them -- except for you. It doesn't do any good to blame the economy, your boss, spouse or family. Change can only occur when you make a conscious decision to make it happen.
- Take the pressure off yourself: If you know you want to do something new, but don't yet know the "what" or "how", don't expect that you should know what that "thing" is or the steps for getting there.
- Figure out the Right Business for You: What do you already know? What are you passionate about? What are concrete business opportunities for you to consider? Give yourself permission to explore.
- Adopt a Service Mindset: Regardless of the type of business you choose, you need to be committed to serving others -- customers, clients, employees, community, and investors.
- Create Your Plan: As you write down your goals, strategies and action steps - your business becomes real.
- Build a Support Network: You've made the internal commitment to your business. Now you need to cultivate a network of supporters, advisors, partners, allies, and vendors. If you believe in your business, others will too!
- Get the Word Out: Be willing to say who you are and what you do with conviction and without apology! Embrace and use the most effective online tools (Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn) available to broadcast your news.
- Take Care of Yourself: This is an intense process and it takes hard work. Be diligent about scheduling time to de-stress. Walk in nature, meditate, meet a friend -- do whatever works best for you.
