William Keyser, managing director of WorkSavvy and author of 6 Work.com guides, just published his Guide to Clearing Your Head Before Starting Your Business. Keyser ties the process of starting a business to clarity about the deeper purpose and contribution of your life.
Here are Keyser's 10 tips to consider as you're starting a business:
- Be sure of the purpose and contribution of your life
- Commit to a business vision and establish its values
- Be passionate about the business idea
- Set your business model: the means to generate revenue
- Have a clear intention to start and set measurable objectives
- Use money for measurement, not as a goal
- Offer more in use value than the cash price
- Spend as little as you can, don't be a spendthrift
- Get selling, keep selling and sell some more
- Do it now - there'll be no better time
I love William's guide. I have alway's heard people say " I want to one day start my own business". The most biggest problem is the monstrous gap between the thought and the execution. Of course, the most important step is to clear your head before starting a new business.

But how we can it become the purpose of someone's life?
