How to Choose a Business That's Right For You

After doing some research with Google I've found some common advice by professionals and Business Mentors to help you reach success!

Choosing a business to start is an important decision. After all, it's a life altering decision that changes nearly every aspect of your life and the lives of those close to you.Because it is so important many people spend a lot of time thinking about it, but delay doing anything concrete about getting started.Who wants to make a wrong choice?

Fear of choosing wrong - and failing - will often keep people stuck in the thinking mode. For years they think. And the day of choosing just never seems to come. You want to avoid this trap.

But how? By not rationalizing the decision too much. You see, ultimately you want to choose a business that makes you the happiest. You want to choose something you'll love to do every day.This means you must first go with the thing that stirs excitable emotions in you. If you think about your decision too long, then you'll never get anywhere. You must choose from the heart, and THEN apply rational thought to your decision. Heart first, then the head. It's important to note that you can't trust the heart to do what's right for the pocketbook. That's why you have that round thing atop your shoulders. Use your heart to choose, then use your head to make sure you've got
a business model that will make money. That’s where a Business Mentor comes into play. They call me the $ Goes Green $ Girl!

Now let's do some "heart" work. Get out some paper and make a list for all of the questions below. Don't think too much about your answers, just write as much as you can without attention to grammar or spelling.

1. Fun List
What events do you like to attend?

Where do you like to go for outings or vacations?
When you have a day all to yourself free from responsibilities, how so you like to spend your time?
If you are currently working, what part of your job do you find most satisfying?
What type of movies do you like? Why do you like these movies?
What kind of music do you like? Why?
This list represents an inside look at your inner child. The core of who you are can often be seen within the answers to these questions. Incorporating your playful self into your work life ultimately gives you the vitality and passion to propel your business upward.

2. Hobbies and Interests
What hobbies or activities do you like to do when you have spare time?
Your list may include time with your children, working on a craft, writing to friends, talking politics, cooking up a great meal... whatever it is, you love doing these things and you could do them for hours on end.
List everything you can think of. Don't worry if your list has some of the same answers that you listed in your Fun List. Recurring themes are a good indicator of your true calling.


3. Reading Material
What books or magazines do you like to read? What subjects interest you? Why do they interest you?
Think about your visits to the local bookstore. What kind of books to you look for? List all the books and subject matter that appeal to you.

4. Strengths Others See In You
Do your friends and family ask you to help them with certain tasks? What are those tasks? Why do they ask for your help?
Do people tell you how good you are at doing something? What do they say?

5. Your Dreams
What have you always wanted to do?
Do you have a dream of starting a specific business but feel held back by a lack of money or a lack of time?
Imagine for a moment that money and time are not an issue any longer. What would you do if there were no limits?

6. A Better Widget
What things frustrate you?
Do certain products just never seem to be the quality you expect?
Have you ever tried to get some information and just couldn't find it easily?
The "frustration factor" is often a great starting point for new businesses.

Make your lists; think about what time, money and commitment you are willing to invest in your business and then get ready for a FREE consultation.


Expect to be listened to and supported to achieve your goals.
