Questions People Ask When Considering Starting Their Own Business

• Usually the first question is – “What could I do?”

The answer to this question will bring endless possibilities. There are hundreds of things among these possibilities that you could do, and even more that are unique to you. And, of course, whenever could comes to mind, couldn’t, rush in closely behind. You can come up with a long list of reasons of why you couldn’t do what you are considering. Don’t get caught up in could and couldn’t, try asking this question; ‘Do I want to?’

If your answer is no or not really, or not sure, look elsewhere. If it is yes, then explore it further.

• The next most common question people ask themselves is “What should I do?”

You may find that you and everyone else have different views about what you should do. Once you start thinking about should, shouldn’t - is right around the corner eliminating another deposit of possibilities. There are always reasons you shouldn’t do virtually anything you’ll ever think of doing. When you find yourself getting stuck in should and shouldn’t, immediately ask yourself “According to whom?” Then ask, “What is actually likely to happen if I do or don’t?”

• The next most common question people ask themselves is “What’s the best thing to do?”

The search for the perfect venture can be as immobilizing as the world of shoulds and coulds. What might look like the most lucrative choice, for example, might be at odds with what you would most enjoy. Or what you would enjoy most might look too difficult.

This question can lead you into seemingly impossible choices.

If you want to start on your own business, stop asking questions like “What can I do?” “What’s the best thing for me?” “What’s hot right now?” “Is this a good opportunity?”

• The question to ask is “What do I really want to do?”

Begin instead asking yourself what am I looking for in life. Where do I want my life to go? What’s my destination? What do I want? What is most important to me right now?
The answer to that question usually begins with “All I want is….” some peace of mind, a little money in the bank, a little time to myself, a little respect, a chance to show what I can do, to have a little fun, to get out from under my boss’s thumb.

And be totally honest. Because within the most honest answer to that question lies the path to what you were designed to do.

Although this is not all you want, but it’s what most important to you right now.
It’s what foremost in your mind. As soon as you attain it, you will quickly move on to all the other far more desirable things you want.
