If you’ve ever dreamed of telling your boss to shove it and walking away from a job you hate, saying to yourself you will now start your own business, chances are good that you won’t succeed. This is because a spur of the moment reaction shows little evidence of planning, you’ve alienated at least one of the people who could have helped you, you’ve shown you are undependable and can’t be trusted to carry things through and you’ve done no planning.
On the other hand, if you have a plan for your future that includes investing in yourself, if you know the value of using all available resources when you are just starting a business, if you are prepared to invest freely in your self with financial resources as well as passion, if you are ready to spend your time and your interest in making things work well and most of all, you won’t let the word ‘failure’ be a part of your vocabulary you WILL succeed. In fact, you already have.
There are a lot of excellent reasons for starting your own business. You may already be convinced of the benefits, but just need that extra nudge to get started. Why not make an appointment with a business mentor and bounce your idea off someone else. Every business needs a concept or a premise to begin with. Talking your plans over with a mentor may help you to see things you would only have determined through trial and error before.
While a creative concept is a good foundation for a business plan, it’s important to realize that you will need more than an idea in order to interest others in your product. You will need to perform that mental balancing act that will keep your creative concept alive and fresh while surrounding it with all the solid underpinnings, and framework that will allow it to become a viable business. If you approach your plan by writing down your picture of what your business will look like one year in the future and then flesh out the plan to incorporate each needed step, you will end up with a business plan.
Take time every day to continue the process of dreaming and implementing what you’ve dreamed. This will give you time for yourself, especially if you are able to do your dreaming while walking or jogging.
Especially if you are planning on quitting your day job, you will want to make sure you have balance in your life. You should balance working and not working, Balance things you do for fun with things you do only because you must. Take some time every single day to think about something bigger than you are and take some time every day in order to help someone smaller than you are.
Stay focused. Maintain a comprehensive plan for 1 year, 2 years and 5 years. This doesn’t mean that you never have and fun. It means that are keeping your short term and long term goals in front of you self. Have a goal just for today if you wish. Know what you want to accomplish today and do it.
Spend some time doing, not just planning. The ability to live in and enjoy life as you pass through is a precious gift and one which should be enjoyed to the fullest.

辞职，开创自己的事业
如果你曾经梦想过叫你老板闭嘴，然后辞去讨厌的工作，对自己说我要开创自己的事业。很有可能发生的是你不会成功。这是因为一时的冲动行为表明你没有计划：你疏远了至少一个可以帮助你的人，你让自己显得不可靠，无法让人信任你有始有终做事的能力，而且你没有任何计划。
另一方面，如果你对未来有计划，包括投资于自己，如果你懂得事业开始初期运用所有可能资源的重要性，如果你愿意为自己投资尽可能的金钱和激情，如果你准备好付出时间和兴趣使事情顺利进行，最重要的是，你不让失败这个词成为你字典的一部分，那么你就会成功。事实上，你已经成功了。
开创自己的事业有许多非常好的理由。也许你已经知道它的好处，只需要真正开始前的一点动力。为什么不约见一位生意上的导师，听听其他人对你的想法的意见呢？每个生意都需要一个概念或前提才能开展。和导师讨论你的计划可以帮助你看到原本反复尝试后才能发现的事情。
尽管新奇的理念是生意计划的很好的基础，你一定要认识到要他人对你的产品感兴趣所需的不仅仅是一个概念。你要保证你的想法新鲜，然后在它周围建筑坚固的基础和框架，这样才能使它成为一个可行的生意。如果你写下一年后你的生意的前景，然后用各个必需的步骤充实，最后就会得到一个生意计划。
每天花点时间继续梦想并实现你的梦想。这将给你属于你自己的时间，特别是如果你能在走路或慢跑的同时梦想的话。
如果你计划辞去工作，你尤其要确保生活的平衡。你应该平衡工作和休息，平衡因兴趣做的事和不得不做的事。每天花点时间思考一些比你个人更重要的事情，帮助比你弱小的人。
集中精神。做一个详细的1年、2年和5年计划。并不是说这些计划你永远不可能达到，只是写写玩玩。这让你能同时看到你的短期计划和长远计划。如果愿意的话你也可以拟定每天的目标。明白每天想做什么然后实现它。
花时间去做而不仅仅是计划。能够活着并且享受生活是一个非常宝贵的礼物，人们应该充分地享受。
