5 Things You Can Do Right Now to Jump Start your Business Idea

Now that you've claimed exactly what it is you want to do; and decided to go for it, here are five things you can begin doing right now to move your vision forward regardless of your situation.
1. Work on improving your health: For most of us, the older we get, the more sedentary we become. We also note that the pounds have inched on, our vision is diminished and our joints (especially the knees) ache a bit more. Embarking upon a new venture means new energy. We must work on improving our health with proper exercise and healthier eating habits. Let's seek out foods that stimulate our minds and bodies.
2. Begin NOW learning everything you need to know about the venture you are about to undertake. Do research. The Internet is a gold mind of information. Maybe even, find a mentor.
3. Learn new technology. The way you envisioned doing things 20 years ago may not work for the 21st century. You can begin now to learn the new technology, especially as it relates to marketing.
4. Seek out as many entrepreneurial workshops as possible. Many are offered in your community for free. Also, check with your chamber of commerce for information.
5. Whatever you're planning on doing will take some money. Why not begin a savings plan in the name of whatever it is you're planning. Deposit something each pay period--even if it's $10.00. And you can begin improving your credit score by paying bills on time.
AND don't forget your grand children. Let's not get so caught up in what we're doing that we neglect our loved ones. Include them in your personal planning.
