Obviously if you’ve gotten this far in the Wannabe Entrepreneur Series, you’re pretty darn sure that you want to start a business.

 

I couldn’t be more excited for you!

I want you to start a business that you love – one that not only makes you happy but makes you as much money as you desire.

 

So how do you make sure to start the right business from the getgo? 

There’s only one way!

 

And I’m not going to lie. This isn’t exactly an original idea of mine.

Amazing fellow entrepreneurs and bloggers like Chris Guillebeau, Ramit Sethi, Natalie Sisson, Marie Forleo, etc have each talked about this same in their own way.

 

Watch the video to learn the formula. (And don’t mind my weird fingers).

 

In the video, I mentioned my imaginary friend Marta. 

 

Marta watched the video. Then, she blocked off an hour, opened a beer and made the following lists:

 

 Here are some more questions that Marta should answer:

 

1. What mark do you want to leave on the world?
2. How do you want people to remember you?
3. What is your zone of genius?
4. What frustrates you about the way the world works now that you’d like to change?

 

 

Ultimately, I’d like you to come up with at least 20 possibilities in the “things people would pay me for” column!

Don’t judge your ideas.

Just let them flow!

 

No pressure to pick your million dollar business idea tonight. On one hand, you might experience a major “aha!” while you do this exercise, but on the other, you might need more time to let your genius brew.

 

Take action now.
