Start a business while working?

For some people, working life is not suitable for them. Many migrant workers from to once felt they were engaged in a job without any way out. From Monday to Monday, many people will feel depressed. Weekly meetings and various temporary meetings seem endless. This kind of work seems to have drawn our souls out of our bodies.

　　But don't be afraid. In fact, you can start a business while working for others.

Assume that you have an idea to start a business. First, you need to set up a series of plans. These plans can look like this:

• I plan to work for another six months, and then I quit my job to take my soul away.
• I plan to save my living expenses and save my money. After I resign and start my business, I will be able to enjoy a period of economic buffer.
• I plan to spend 2-3 hours with my family when I get home from work, and 3-4 hours preparing for my startup
• After I resign, I will always say goodbye to my work.

In 2007, I quit my stable full-time job and started my own business. At that time, I also set some plans for myself. I repeat these plans almost every day. The advantage of doing so is to strengthen my confidence in starting a business, so that I can focus more on turning my ideas into a real enterprise.

　　Differentiate work status and startup status

When you want to start a business while working, you should be very careful not to bring the status at work to the startup. Generally, full-time work has a regular schedule, which usually means tedious and boring. During full-time work, most people want to go home quickly and sit on the sofa and watch TV.

If you want to set up an enterprise, you need to create a framework at the very beginning to ensure that you can complete all the preparations and make good use of valuable time and energy. Watching TV on the sofa will not allow you to get away from your work status from nine to five, and you will not be able to own your own business.

　　If you want to start a business while working, you can try the following tips:

　　Small entry point

At the beginning of your business, do not think about solving all things in a short period of time. Do not give yourself a time schedule because you cannot follow the schedule. In the first week of the beginning, you can arrange one thing in one day, and then relax.

From the second week, you can take an hour off after dinner every day. After the break, you are about to begin preparing for the startup. Everyone has their favorite TV programs, but watching TV cannot help you start a new career. In the next week, you can create a new work plan for yourself.

　　Family members are the most important

When you get home, you must accompany your partner, child, or even pet first. If you get home at six o'clock P.M., spend an hour with your family (watching TV with your family is not your company ). If you have children, it's a good time to communicate with them before they go to bed.

If you are married and have not yet completed education, please stay with your spouse and remember not to talk about work. You can take a walk, exercise, or have a big dinner together.

　　Eliminate all interference during work

After you are with your family, you can start your work and start a business (for example, from ). At work, you need to make full effort. Mute your phone, close your browser, and do not view emails (unless you want to accept work-related emails ). Remember that the start time can only be used to start a business and eliminate all interference.

　　Set daily, weekly, and monthly targets

Now you have set a work schedule for yourself. All you have to do is start your work. After constant attempts and adjustments, I found that setting three sets of goals for myself can greatly improve efficiency. These three sets of goals are daily, weekly, and monthly respectively.

Daily goals can be easy to accomplish. After you start working every night, you need to write down what you want to do tonight. This job can take up to 5-10 minutes, and there is another benefit to writing these goals on paper, that is, every time you finish one, you can cut it out with a pen, in this way, you will not forget a certain target. And when you cut out a project, you can get some pleasure!

Weekly goals are a little complicated and cannot be completed in one night. For example:

• Phased design and development of products, services, and webpages
• Ask your friends and family to judge your creativity
• PR, or more influential people to promote your product
• Start selling products or services and optimize the sales process
• One week off, charge yourself

For these weekly plans, you should also write them on paper and cut out one item.

As for the monthly goal, it is for jobs with higher complexity that need to be completed in the last month or even three months. You can also use the monthly goal to plan your work for the entire year. Similarly, write them on paper to avoid forgetting a job.

　　The monthly goal can be as follows:

• Month 1-create product prototypes, develop web pages, and get feedback from the first batch of users
• Month 3-public sales of products or services
• Month 6-collect sufficient funds through sales of the first batch of products and full-time salary, and then resign!
• Month 12-recruiting sales staff, customer service contractors, paid marketing and advertising.

At first, you may not get used to setting these goals for yourself, but just practice several times like other things. I once wrote these goals on the blackboard in the Office, which enables me to concentrate on achieving these goals every day.

It is not easy to start a business while working, but it is not completely impossible. After these steps, you will not only start to work for yourself, but also fall in love with such a job.
