Become an Successful Entrepreneur while working Full Time

   If you are reading this post it is because you are a new or struggling entrepreneur, while also working a full time job.  More than likely you are not happy having to plan your outside life around your work schedule.  I have great news for you, you are in the right place!  When I first started out in this industry, I was balancing between working a full time job, having a young family, and also starting my own business.  When I first started out there was not a lot of information available on how to balance it all.   Keep in mind it will not happen overnight, but if you use the following tips as a guide, you can make it happen

Don’t accept mediocrity

·         We are conditioned by society to accept the idea of living paycheck to paycheck.  Refuse to accept that logic.  There is nothing in this world you can’t achieve if you set your mind to it.

Build and Grow your Personal Brand

·         Since you have found this blog post, you have discovered the corporate 9-5 lifestyle is not for you.  You see yourself as an entrepreneur wanting to focus on helping other people.  Focus on growing your personal branding by first figuring out what you are passionate about, and what makes you YOU.  What makes you tick, what do you have to offer to the world that no one else does?  After you figure out your passion, you need to get your personal brand out in front of the correct audience.  If you are not sure about how to figure out your passion, or not sure how to get yourself in front of the correct audience, check out this step by step academy .

Don’t Tune out your Full Time Job Yet

·         I was guilty of this myself, and I don’t want to see the same thing happen to you.  The worst thing that can happen is while you are building your own business, you lose your full time job, because you stopped caring about it.  At your full time job continue to learn new skills, and then apply them to your own business.

Schedule Time for your business

·         One of the biggest obstacles you will have in building your own business is time management.  Every Sunday I plan out my weekly goals and then break them down into daily goals.  Use an online calendar such as Google Calendar, or Yahoo calendar to get reminders on your smartphone.

  

Don’t try to be too perfect 

·         I learned this tip from two of my six figure mentors, don’t try to make everything perfect.  When you are working on a product, for instance, don’t delay launching the product because it isn’t perfect. You can always go back and make something better if you need to.

Never Quit

·         Make a promise to yourself that you will never quit on your dream.  98% of people fail in this industry, because they quit too soon.  This industry is not for anyone who thinks they can become an overnight success.  Yes it does happen, but for the most part it takes a lot of consistent hard work to make it happen.
