My article for the Young Entrepreneur Council (YEC) was just featured in Yahoo! News—right in time for those 2016 resolutions! If you want to make your dreams come true, you can’t keep doing what you’re doing now. It will require more than changing your goals and actions. You have to change your mindset.
For starters, if you want to go from worker to business owner, you need to make sure you truly love everything this entails. This adoration needs to be there if this change is going to work. Just like elite athletes, it helps a lot to envision your end goal down to every tiny detail. Numerous studies have shown that this tactic yields great results. Plus, you may as well ensure daydreaming is working to your advantage.
When it comes time to plan and take action, break it all down into easy, achievable baby steps. This makes even the most insurmountable looking task seem manageable. For example, maybe you want to 1) make sweaters, then 2) make a photo shoot of them, 3) create your Etsy shop, and 4) craft a blog.
