How to...TURN YOUR PASSION INTO PROFIT

Leaving your comfortable nine to five job to embark on a journey to creating that freedom business can be filled with twists, turns and unexpected challenges. For many, it begins with a burning passion and a desire to make a difference in the world. Yet, the road to success is rarely linear, as I learned firsthand in my own journey. After many years growing my own company and supporting many to do the same, I've discovered that getting started is the hardest part, which is why most stay in the rat race. Whether it is the fear of the unknown or leaving the security of a steady income. Creating the momentum and drive to overcome those first hurdles will set you up for success. How do you do that I hear you ask? Here's three simple things to remember:

What you focus on is what you get:

1 A clear vision of what you want to achieve, what you want life to look like will set you up to move towards your goals. Those that stay stuck focus on what they don't want which makes opportunity hard to spot.

2 Progress not perfection: Know that the expectations you have on yourself are usually much greater than the ones others have of you.

Have a plan but don't feel like everything needs to be perfect before you launch.

It will adapt and grow over time.
