How to Leave Corporate Life to Start Your Own Business Without Fear
Are you like most people who wish they could leave corporate life and finally be their own boss?
What’s stopping you? If you are like most people, here are some of the top issues with thinking entrepreneurship is even possible for you:
- Fear of Taking Action
- Fear of Losing Security
- Fear of Failure
- Fear of Success
- Shaming from Friends and Family
But there are also so many benefits to entrepreneurship:
- Be your own boss
- Have more control over your time
- Choose your clients
- Work when and where you want
- Take time for yourself
- Be there for your family
- Unlimited income potential
Most people want to create time and financial freedom, but don’t know how to start. Most people want to create a bigger impact and a lasting legacy for their family, but lack the entrepreneurship skills that aren’t commonly taught in school.
Don’t Be Like Most People – Be Extraordinary
Learn how to build a business on your own terms and step above mediocrity.
Don’t wait until it’s too late to start living your dream, creating massive impact, and feeling fulfilled.
The Extraordinary Entrepreneur’s Fearless Formula for Success
Here is a simple formula for creating your own business without the fear:
1) The Spark of Inspiration
Find the intersection of your experiences, skills, passions, customer needs and things that generate money. When you find that special mix, you will wake up every day doing work you love.
2) Build a Magnetic Brand
Develop your business identity – this is more than just a logo, business card and website. Design a style that people can recognize, a set of values and talking points that create a culture that clients, employees, and investors want to embrace.
3) Create a Sales Engine
You will need to sell, and find others who can sell for you, and develop systems to make sales as effortless as possible. Develop a marketing and sales machine that funnels in leads and appointments and develop a compelling pitch so that you can close them and onboard them well.
4) Create a Lasting Impact
Treat every client like a VIP and make a lasting impact so they become brand ambassadors, promoting your services to others.
5) Find Mentors
Develop relationships with professionals in your industry that have achieved goals similar to your goals. Learn from them and offer your insights and experiences to them as well.
6) Shift Your Mindset
You need to shift your mindset to become an entrepreneur. Focus on these four skills:
- Plan, adapt and overcome
- Experiment – shoot for never ending improvement. When you find something that works, double down!
- Be determined and persistent
- Develop risk management skills
If you do these things, you can build your business, create massive impact, and feel fulfilled. There are dozens of ways to create a side hustle business or get involved with an existing business that can generate extra income. Of course, nothing is sweeter than that moment when you can give your notice knowing you have your business venture up and running smoothly.

Why You Should Stop Telling Customers About Your Product Specifications
Your Product Specifications Are Meaningless to Most Buyers
Here’s the cold hard truth about sales and marketing. No one cares about your product specifications. People buy based on emotion, and back up their decision with facts if needed. In order to compel people to pay attention, show interest, decide to take action and buy your product, you must capture their attention with amazing branding and clever marketing, then convince them that your product or service will solve a problem that is bothering them, or provide a transformation improvement of some kind.
What benefits do the customers derive your product or service?
Why are customers motivated to spend their hard earned money on your product or service? If you can’t speak to their heart, from your heart, about this benefits, you will not sell to the customer.
Don’t just spew facts and specs
It is easy for an entrepreneur to describe the features of their product or service. They have been obsessing about manufacturing specifications, product design, setting up delivery and payment systems for months if not years. But rarely do they envision how the customer will feel when the product or service is put to use.
It is hard to convince entrepreneurs that the customer rarely cares about the product’s properties unless they need to defend their recommendation to a boss, friend or family member. The facts and information on the label or product listing such as the size, weight, speed or memory capacity only matter after you’ve convinced them that the product is worth considering.
Bottom line – the customer is self-interested
A prospective customer doesn’t care about the mateirals you used, or your COGS, or even how you’ll pay your bills that the end of the month. The customer only cares about and focuses on what they can gain from a given service or product. Their main considerations are their own ability to:
- Save time
- Save money
- Make money
- Save trouble
- Save transportation
- Appear more attractive
- Increase enjoyment
- Have a memorable experience
- Get validation or recognition
- Improve social status
- Beat the competition
How can you satisfy a customer’s true desires and needs with your product?
