So You Have a Big Idea and You Want to Start a Business - Week One

So You Have a Big Idea and You Want to Start a Business


I remember a few years ago when I got my first Big Idea and thought about starting a business around it.  In fact, I spent months creating products and training around helping families to be healthy.  I wasn't a health coach, but my focus was working with moms to help their kids transition to a plant based diet.  I created some seriously killer content, along with monthly activities to do with kids to help teach them about how to make healthy choices.   By the time I was done, I had no desire to actually SELL the program, and wasn't quite sure how to go about doing it anyway.  

Is this you?

There are hundreds of books written about personal development, overcoming negative beliefs, and starting a business.  All of that was wonderful for me, but I was still burnt out and I hadn't even actually started!  

I started questioning my follow through.  Admittedly, I am the type of person that loves big ideas and doesn't love working through the details, but in this case, the details were done.  

I felt I needed to evaluate and reflect and see where I had made mistakes.  That was a massive number of hours only to never cross the starting line.  Starting a business is not easy - that is why it is important to start the right way...and not with product creation!

In the coming weeks, along with my Launching Women interviews, I will be sharing some tips that I have learned along the way and also sharing with you what I am doing on a daily basis to launch myself.  My goal is to be as open as possible to help other women (and men) as they are starting their businesses have a resource.  I will share successes and mistakes and keep it real.  

Best Regards,
Heidi
