How to stop collecting business ideas and start building real options.
Have you ever noticed how easy it is to spend months—or even years—thinking about making a change without actually doing anything?
Maybe you’ve considered consulting. Or starting a business. Or investing in real estate. Maybe you enjoy your job but are tired of the bureaucracy and restrictions that come with it.
You keep looking at possibilities.
You watch videos, read books, attend workshops, and talk with friends about what you could do.
But nothing really changes.
I think one reason is simple: There’s no urgency.
If your paycheck stopped Friday, where would your next dollar come from? I’m not suggesting you quit your job. I’m suggesting the opposite. Keep the job. Keep the paycheck. Keep the benefits. But start building something beside it.
This week I got an email from a listener named Denise. She’s 44, she’s been at her company for 11 years, her performance reviews are excellent, and her director has told her directly that she’s one of the most dependable people in the building.
Dr. Callahan, I find the blog and the videos very
interesting. “Escaping cubicle insanity” for me hit the
nail right on the head.
I think there is a typo in the last sentence, which didn’t
make send to me after reading it. But I might also be
wrong.
Best regards.
Thank you very much! Will fix right now.
Working on my goals for 2010 – perhaps typing should be in the mix;) Glad you find it helpful – let me know anything I can do to help you along your route!
