Dream Big, Think Smart, Start Small

Key Lessons

• Don’t spend money you haven’t got
• Invest extra time to find out more before spending money
• Dream big, think smart, start small

I often coach people who want to start a business or have just taken the plunge. Starting with big dreams and then realising that business is not as easy as it seems. I started my business on a shoestring and I was fortunate to be given some great advice,

“Don’t spend money you haven’t got.”

Of course there are some basic costs even the smallest of businesses might need to pay out. You can end up paying out for all sorts of business services which end up not leading to a return on investment.
At the beginning of going for your dreams you can be bombarded with all sorts of advice and things to buy to get your business off the ground. Everything from marketing, accounting, having an office, launching, networking etc. And it can be difficult to know which way to go. Luckily for me the advice of “don’t spend money you haven’t got” got me through the tricky years.
What it did mean though was I had to invest time in learning about all these things but again this has taught me some good business lessons and also has helped me know what I needed to invest in later.
