So many health and holistic practitioners, like you, want to learn how to build a wellness business. After spending years in your chosen profession, I’m sure many of you have thought about venturing out on your own for so many reasons. The message to get away from mainstream jobs with the high level of stress, turnovers and frustration, and the deep-down feeling in your gut and soul urging to open your own business is getting louder and louder.
Think about all the benefits of working for yourself:
Flexibility over time at work
Ability to earn a good living, your way
Independence from traditional structured, work environments
Freedom to implement innovative services
Accommodate personal commitments
Build a lasting legacy for the future
However, many fears get in the way, and your dreams of being a business owner and maybe even a solo-entrepreneur seems impossible. Fears such as:
Possible fluctuations in income
Working longer hours
Burden of administrative tasks
Uncertain workloads
Stiff competition
Lack of skills
To be honest though, these fears above, are just the surface level issues. The more heart-centered, gut-wrenching fears really include:
Am I good enough?
Can I do this?
How do I even start doing this?
Someday, we say!
How about an opportunity to make that someday, today?
You don’t have to jump in with your 2 feet, quit your job, open a business and hope things work out. It’s very scary to do it this way, and to be honest most of us are not capable of jumping off a cliff and hope we land comfortably on our feet. It’s just too much – financially, emotionally and mentally to change your life so drastically.
What if you learn how to build a wellness business while you continue your day job? So many business gurus recommend you do just this. Keep working but build your company and someday when you are fully ready, and your business and its income is growing, you will know that the right time to ‘jump ship’ is near.
There are so many advantages to keeping your job, and planning your business before you take that leap of faith.
A steady income from your job can provide the financial cushion needed to invest in your business without the pressure of immediate profitability.
Maintaining your job allows you to experiment and learn without the high stakes of relying solely on your venture.
Your day job will continue to provide valuable skills and experiences that can be applied to your business.
Keeping your job gives you the flexibility to explore different business ideas and find what resonates with you before fully committing.
You may have access to resources, tools, or networks through your job that can help you in your entrepreneurial journey.
A day job can provide structure, which may help you manage your time better while you build your business.
As your business starts to grow, you can gradually transition out of your job when you feel ready and secure enough to take that leap.
