1. 8 Steps For Moving From Working In A
Business To Working On Your Business
You’vebeen working in a business for years, and you know that you’reready to
take your company to the next level. Before starting your own business, it’s
important to understand what steps you need to take and how to move from
working in a business to working on your business.
There are many ways to move from working in a business to working on your
business. You can start your own consulting company or you could start a blog
and write about what you know. You could even start a podcast and interview
people who have been through the same things as you have.
The key is that no matter what you do, you need to find something that makes
you happy and is something that will make money for you.
Step 1: Understand Your Values
First, make sure you understand the value of your own personal values. What
do they mean to you? Do they align with what you want for your future? If not,
makechanges so that they do. Your values should help guide every decision you
make as an entrepreneur.
Step 2: Set goals
Goals can be as simple as “I wantmy business to grow,” or as specific as “I want
this project X to be completed by Tuesday.” Identify your goals and set them in
stone, then track them regularly. If there’s any doubtaboutwhether something

down the line when things are clearer.*
Step 3: Define Your Mission Statement
Your mission statement is a brief description of what it is that you want your
company to be able to accomplish or achieve over time. It will help guide your
decisions and help define success for yourself and others at your company.
Step 4: Create Your Business Plan

plan includes details like marketing strategies, budgeting details and deadlines
for each step along the way. It also includes an estimate of how long each step
will take (including unforeseen delays).
Your business plan outlines everything about your company — from its goals
and objectives to how much capital needs to be raised and how long it will take
before profits are realized. It also includes information about who is involved in
creating this plan (you), who owns it (you), when it was created (when) and
where it will operate.
Step 5: Look at market opportunities
Once you have some experience under your belt, start looking around for
opportunities that match up with what you have learned so far. Are there any
niches wherethere is still roomforgrowth?Whatkind of technology is available
now thatmight help makean idea work?Arethereany new productsor services
that could potentially be used in the context of what you’re doing?

A good website will help you attract customers by making them awareof what
you do and how easy it is for them to contact you. It also helps potential clients
find out about any special offers or events that you run, which can be a great
way of increasing sales without spending any money at all.
