Why?

Why do you want to own your own business?

Is it for the freedom? For the lifestyle? To have control over your schedule? That is why I did it, why I stepped away from the salon and became my own boss.

*To be free.

*To control my own schedule.

*To have as many holidays as I wanted.

*To be able to choose which clients I serviced and which I didn't.

All of this sounded like a dream to me.

Maybe you too want to craft your days to look exactly how you want them to look. (I now take a bath at 2pm every day. It is the only time of day my house is silent...perfect bath atmosphere;)

What do YOU want YOUR days to look like?

Do you enjoy working evenings and weekends?

Hauling ass at Christmas or back to school working 12 hours days to fit everyone in?

Why do YOU want to own your own business?

You need to have a WHY bigger than any excuse. (Oh the excuses and the fear...they will come up....it is just so much easier to stay inside your comfort zone, don't you agree?!) But ya know what?

All exceptional things live on the other side of your comfort zone!!!

(these questions available to print in the pdf below)

How do you see your successful new business changing your life in 1 year? 5 years?

What do you want your lifestyle to look and feel like long term?

What sort of impact will your successful business have on your family? health? happiness? home? confidence? relationships?

What cost will you have paid in your life by NOT taking action to build your business? Will your future self be thriving?

Where will you be in 5 years if you let your fears keep you comfortable where you are now?

How will you feel in 5 years when you DO build a thriving business?!

Really dive deep into this.

Seriously though, just spend some time answering these questions and really feeling all the feels.

Come back and revisit your answers EVERY NIGHT before bed. Revisit these answers when things get scary. Revisit these answers when doubt creeps in and your excuses take over.

Again, you need your WHY to be bigger than any excuses you will come up with!
