GGoals

Happy New Year to YOU! Thank you for starting the New Year with me. Welcome to 2016. One of the things a lot of us will be doing in a couple of days is setting goals for the new year and some of us already have. Wait a minute and ask yourself this quick question. Are your goals for 2016 S.M.A.R.T? You can read more about how to set smart goals + Goals questionnaire here (‪lnkd.in/dHUXk9J ). Goal setting is very important in all that we do and we should take it more seriously this year. Some of the benefits of goal setting are: clearer focus, optimum use of resources, effective use of time, clarity in decision-making, etc.

If part of your goals for 2016 is to test an idea out or start a new venture, out of other important things to consider, a business case is one. You can’t erect a building without having it on paper. It’s the same with business; you need to write it out. How do I write a business plan? Why do I need a business plan? What will having a business plan do for me? Here are 10 ways to develop a sound business plan (Infographic).

8 Biggest Limiting Beliefs of Young Entrepreneurs


Some entrepreneurs are seen as world changers either young or old e.g. Howard Schultz of Starbucks, who had to come back to the company he originally built to reinvent it or Reed Hastings who turned a forty-dollar video late fee into a disruptive upstart called Netflix. You also can be seen as one of the world changers. All you need is to start that business you have been procrastinating about today. Some of the common traits you need to kick-start the business are passion, confidence and persistence. Even Steve Case of AOL said “You shouldn’t focus on why you can’t do something, which is what most people do. You should focus on why perhaps you can, and be one of the exceptions.” As an aspiring or young entrepreneur, don’t be afraid to fail because that is one of the biggest limiting factors why people are stagnant. Don’t forget what Albert Einstein said – “A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.”

 

Here are 8 limiting beliefs of young entrepreneurs and 8 powerful re-frames examples to consider written by Aleks George Srbinoski as published on the Fulfilling Happiness blog.
