In episode 4, I started a new series titled “Take the F.I.R.S.T. step: 5 steps you need to take to take to go from idea to start your business. In today’s episode, we’ll explore step 3 which is the letter “R” in my F.I.R.S.T. step method. My "F.I.R.S.T." step method is an acronym I created to help you move from idea to launch your business.
The letter “R” in my F.I.R.S.T. step method is “Research & Revise”.
Let's do a quick recap of steps 1 and 2.
- Step 1: “F” - Find Clarity
- Step 2: “I” - Ideate with your “good example”
The number one cause of inaction is a lack of clarity. Lack of clarity breeds inaction because you don’t know the next step to take. You become stuck. Finding clarity gives you vision, direction, and a roadmap that shows you the steps to go from stuck to unstuck. Finding a good example helps you find clarity. A good example is:
- Someone that is already doing the business you want to do or a semblance of it. This can be your spouse, friend, coach, social media influencer, etc.
- A resource/template about the business you want to start. It shows you the steps you need to take. The resource can be a PDF download, webinar or workshop, blog post, podcast, book, news article, Online Courses, One-on-one Coaching Programs, a 90-day mastermind, or an intensive program.
Your “good example” might not be a perfect match for your business niche. That’s where Research comes in. Research helps you discover any other specific information you need to launch the first version of your business. Research is ongoing so that get trapped in analysis paralysis. Revise the information you already gathered based on your new research and decide on the key components you need to launch your business.
I pray this episode transforms your life. Enjoy!
