08 | Ready to take the first step? Go from idea to starting a service-based business with my F.I.R.S.T. step method (step 5)

Today is the last episode for the series we started in episode 4 titled “Take the F.I.R.S.T. step: 5 steps you need to take to take to go from idea to start a business. I’m excited to explore step 5 which is the letter “T” 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 starting a business.

The letter “T” in my F.I.R.S.T. step method is “Take The Leap”.

Let's do a quick recap of steps 1, 2, and step 3.

• Step 1: “F” - Find Clarity
• Step 2: “I” - Ideate with your “good example”
• Step 3: “R” - Research and Review”
• Step 4: “S” - Set Reasonable Boundaries
• Step 5: “T” - Take The Leap

The thought of starting a business always scared me. I had a million unanswered questions. I felt I wasn't qualified. I felt entrepreneurship was for extroverts and not introverts like me. I was also afraid of being responsible for other people's income. But deep inside my heart, I knew I was called to be an entrepreneur.

You’ll always be afraid to take the leap to start your service-based business. But you can either let the fear stop you or you can do what I did - Feel the fear and do it anyway.

The path to starting a business might feel terrifying today, but if you persist it will become your path to direct impact, freedom of creative expression, time/schedule flexibility, and ownership of your own work.

I pray this episode transforms your life. Enjoy!
