I’m going to assume you’re here for one of two reasons – either you have a business and need a little help or you have a dream. A dream to be self-sufficient, your own boss and able to afford all the good things in life – whatever those are for you.
So you embark on a journey of exploration, committed to learning everything you can about turning that dream into reality. But weeks … months… and years of scouring the internet have made you more knowledgeable but haven’t done a thing for your bank account. And, you’re starting to see patterns in the self-proclaimed, online gurus. Either you read the same advice … over and over again, or question their real-world experience?
If you’re brave enough to have told friends or family about your dreams, you might have been met with less-than-encouraging responses. The truth is, it takes a special kind of person to even think about venturing out on their own – to be an entrepreneur. So good for you, every journey starts with the first step!
