Open your dream business with 3 simple steps

opening a business has never been easier and I would love to break down the steps how you can open a business while keeping a job while enjoying your life while doing still what you what you love how to take the first few steps that that part where everybody is afraid the jump the the the what ifs the the what's gonna happen and what am I gonna do and I don't want to quit my job to start something let me break it down very simple for you okay the first thing you want to do if you want to open a business you want to be an entrepreneur you want to provide jobs instead of taking a job you wanna do what you love you want to want you want to have the freedoms of taking off when you feel like it not working a day when you don't want to work um whatever it is that you feel you're going to achieve through having a business um the first thing you can do is do information on your industry so many people so many times we see people saying things like I want to open a business you know and where should I start what should I do you know they're always focusing on the end goal the making money already the the being the successful the the having the relaxed part of it but they don't understand that there's so much information involved that you want to know you want to study um you know from being a CEO myself um and and having a social media management company I learned that I don't know anything nothing um and there's so many other people that have been doing what I've been doing all I have to do is learn from them you know so the first thing I needed to do was to do information get information collect information see who's doing what you're doing so whichever business you name it whatever business you have in your head right now do the information that you need what is the information that you even need what is the process of running the business what is the process of being a CEO what are the hours what are the things that are involved today there's a place called YouTube and for free you get everything all the information you could ever imagine there is Google you can Google there is books you can find books you can find people you can go to events you can ask your uncle that's successful your friend that's successful collect information about your business okay this is crucial before you quit your job before you open your business get the information that's needed get clear that's when you'll gain confidence to actually open a business um the second thing is you want to start getting leads get leads whatever business product service whatever it is that you're doing I want you to create a list of 100 people minimum that you're going to reach out the first day when you open your business and if you're not willing to reach out to people then don't then don't open a business just stay with your job enjoy it make your money pay your car your rent and and all the best but you're going to have to reach out to people if you're a CEO you're going to have to interact with people ask them how they're doing as them how your service was because that's the only way to grow you need to connect with people you need the money of other people you need to provide a service to certain people so it's it's very important that you have a list of people that will use your business so if it's a product or service I want you to have a list of 100 people minimum because you're gonna need to make a list every day of 100 people that you reach out to some are cold some are hot warm leads meaning that some are people that you never know you don't even know who they are you're just making a call you're saying hi I'm this and this and I want to share with you that and others are people that you don't know a friend a cousin a brother um saying that I opened the business maybe you can help me maybe you know someone that needs any of these services or products um having leads will also give you the confidence that you're good to go that you can go into your boss and say I you know it was a pleasure working for you Tillman now I'm opening a business and I know where the Rev where where my first client or customer will come from because I have a list backing me up so it's very very important to have a list of people that you want to have and and that way you have the confidence the third thing is take small steps and many times I try to explain this to people and they don't understand it's it's the ego working inside of them the ego is is the the the the image of themselves that they have that like I'm opening a business but I'm so successful I'm big and I'll be honest I I've made that exact same mistake I opened the business and I said I'm the best salesman I have the best product I have the best service I have the best clients I'm so big I'm making so much money and it wasn't true it wasn't true I did not know how to sell I did not know how to do a proper social media in the beginning when I started um I did not know how to manage a team a client I didn't know anything so you know I'm glad I learned so much through my journey but what I'm telling you is start small whatever it is that you're selling or providing to other people it's okay to start small start with one client start with one product you know go into it slowly and take the steps so many people you know I tell them you have a passion to to do this and that you have a passion to do plumbing but I want to get this huge building in Manhattan I want to start right away over there why because that's where your ego is pushing you start with fixing someone's bathroom and make 250 dollars how does that feel that feels great you know four bathrooms a week you made the four toilets a week you made the thousand dollars that's almost a living so start small take small steps um and that way also you will have the confidence to open a business because you're not aiming so high that you you you you get so scared of failing you you have a legit goal you have a legit Target something that's your mind can comprehend at any time even though it's your own business and your new business and your new Journey but it's still small enough so that you say I know I can do this I know I can do I can fix one toilet can I do an entire building I don't know that's where doubt starts kicking in and it starts taking you over so again three things to open your business and to be successful in it because if you keep on doing these things again and again and again um because these things are keep on going okay so again do the proper information number one number two have a list of leads and number three take small steps start small take small steps and these things will will keep on coming back to you again and again again even if you're five years into business you're still gonna need these three things okay which is information you always need information you always need to stay ahead be on top number two you're always going to need the leads you're always going to need customers you're always going to need that okay even if you have a team doing it you still want to be involved and know what's happening in terms of who is your who's your proper lead who is your proper customer okay and the third thing is taking small steps is something you always gonna have to take steps to expand to become bigger you're always going to take steps and the steps you take will determine exactly where your company goes good luck with your journey
