Let's nip this problem in the behind for those of you who still are looking into the future having no clue what it holds.
Your journey into your future of entrepreneurship is just like going on a road trip.
Most people who still feel stuck are too busy running away from where they are at.
What's your destination?
If you don't know your destination, you'll never know the route you're supposed to take in order to get there!
Have you been too busy looking for the route, without first setting your destination?
I did this six months before I started my first successful business (after wondering around like a lost puppy for way too long). I was living in Scottsdale, AZ in October and by next summer, I wanted to move to Boulder, CO to go hiking, live off of passive income, and party in the college town.
And that's exactly where I wound up...because I first set my destination.
All too often we set goals such as "I want to make $10,000 per month" or "I just want to be a millionaire!"
...but what type of life will that money get you?
I think MJ said in his book, the business/money is just a vehicle to get you to where you want to go?
Elon Musk
His destination is to turn earth into an interplanetary species and colonize Mars. I think I read in his book he had this vision of the future before he started any of his companies.
Once you have your vision of the future, and understand the type of life you want to live, you can now realize that there are many paths to get you there.
When you know where you are going, cut out all the things that are not pointing directly at your destination....cut out the distractions. And move all your effort walking in ONE direction.
But which one will be the most fulfilling?
In NLP there are a thing called "Values". I won't get too deep into it in this post, but I always ask the question "What is important to you in the business you start?"
So for those of you who are lost, confused, and STUCK out there...stop looking for business ideas....stop looking for the path to take, because FIRST...

- I don't want to be broke.
- I hate my 9-5 job so I want to quit.

- I want to help people with health.
