Sometimes the decision about where to go next in your home based business gets so confusing that you get frozen and don’t take any action at all. At times like this, it’s important to take a step back and make an action plan.
Dr. Ellen Weber from BrainBasedBusiness points out that the mind uses questions to move forward, so if you ask the right questions you’ll naturally be propelled into action. Here are Ellen’s simple but powerful five questions to do just that:
1. What’s the target for the next stage of my home based business?
Write your target down along with the reasons why it’s a good idea. Also list the barriers that might prevent you from achieving your target.
2. How can I pay for this target?
Be imaginative in considering all types of financing, from loans to reducing expenses. Seek advice from financial professionals.
3. Who can I talk to about this issue?
It’s a good idea to talk to one person, who is successful in the area of your need. And run from pessimists! There will always be naysayers who don’t understand the entrepreneurial spirit.
4. Where do I start?
List ten steps that need to be done. Under each step list the component parts, until you have a complete “to do” list. And then check off each task as you complete it.
5. What’s my schedule?
Set dates that you can track to see your progress on a weekly basis.
