How to Narrow Down Your Career Ideas And Offer
You know you are headed in the right direction when:
- You are working on your strengths and in your zone of genius as much as possible. We recommend getting the Strengthsfinder Assessment.
- You have picked a problem that you want to solve. Don’t create a business you think others will love without solving a problem.
- Your business allows you to live your ideal workday. When you wake up in the morning until the time you go to bed, what is your absolute dream workday? Then, we can start designing the right business for you.
- You are creating an asset, not a liability. Create a business that brings in cash and doesn’t just take out money every single month.
How To Narrow Down Your Idea
Here’s how you can narrow down your ideas in just 5 minutes:
- Write down all of your interests.
- Cross out interests you don’t love enough to start a business in. Is it a business or a hobby?
- Talk to other people. Ask for feedback.
- Create a Pros and Cons list of your business ideas. This will help you see the positives and negatives of each of the business ideas.
- Pick a horse and ride it. Start doing it. Spend less time thinking and more time testing it. Pick a direction and move forward.
