Turn What You Know into What You Owe

The thought of turning your idea into an income can seem daunting and overwhelming. However, if you cannot shake off that feeling that you have got to do something, you need to get clear on your WHY to move from procrastination to profit. So here are 4 reasons why you OWE IT to yourself and others to monetize what you know.

 

1.       You owe it to yourself – There is nothing worse than having that feeling that you have not fulfilled your potential or pursued a long -standing dream. If anything, COVID-19 has taught us, it is life is too short because you don’t know what is around the corner. So, if not now, then when? So why not try, experiment and fun along the way.

 

2.       You owe it to your family – Cathy Heller says that children learn from ’what is ‘caught and not taught’. What better way to role model to your children the importance of pursing your passion and interests; and if it takes off, they would have learnt more about the benefits than just the financial rewards.

 

3.       You owe it to your ideal clients – one of the reasons some women don’t start businesses is because they think the market is crowded. However, only you can serve a particular niche audience in a particular way. As Jadah Sellner says, ‘There is no such thing as a unique message, only unique messengers.” So, if not you, then who? Somebody needs what you know, so don’t hide your gifts and talents just imagine how you could transform somebody’s life.

 

4.       You owe it to society – As Tori Dunlop, the financial feminist says when women earn more, they give more to their families, communities and society. Women are more likely to give to charitable causes. Also, a business that scales up can help an individual and/or their family through employment.  There is a beneficial cycle all round when women start and grow businesses. So, what causes, or people could you bless through your business?
