Here is me being real with you. You will fail at first. It is what you do in the immediate moment after that failure that will determine your success. I failed at least a dozen times. Then it clicked on like a light bulb. What you are reading now is a culmination of all my failures and how I plan to become financially free.

Have a Niche

Anybody doing or creating something has a problem—research what your target audience is experiencing when completing a task in their field. The most common niches are writing, photography, self-help/coaching, and sales. Becoming an expert can allow you to succeed in your business when you know any topic exceptionally well. 

Your expertise in a specific field will help you get the customers you need for the most successful long-term success. 

People want questions answered when buying a product or service from you. It’s essential to have the capacity to do this because knowledge is power, and people will pay to obtain it.

Create a Plan 


It all starts with a plan. If you don’t’ have a plan you are planning to fail. The mastermind principle is the perfect technique to use at this stage of the game. The mind is a powerful thing. But the minds of many

This plan should include: 

  1. Concept – What type of business are you starting, and what products or services will be for sale? 
  2. Goals – What do you wish to achieve with your business? This includes the number of people you want to reach and the amount of money you hope to make with your company.
  3. Financing – Do you have the necessary amount of money for a business start-up, or will you need financing to help you achieve this status? The small business association is a great resource to research funding options for your business.

Taking the time to create a business plan is sure to help you achieve your long-term, self-employment goals and may be necessary for you to become self-employed.

Have a Budget

Being able to make a certain amount of money each month is critical for you to live. It’s a good idea to consider how much is necessary for you to get by each month. 

You may need to take some shortcuts and find ways to cut your living expenses when you begin working for yourself. 

Completing a budget can help any individual who is starting out working solo in the beginning. 

Creating a budget only takes a short amount of time to do and will prove invaluable to you when it comes to your success and getting started! 

There are many benefits of self-employment. Having the opportunity to set your own schedule and avoid working for others is sure to be at the top of the list. This will allow you a lot of flexibility each day and week, which is ideal for most people!
