The Entrepreneur’s Source explains what your Possibilities, Options and Dreams may be and how a career coach can assist you on your entrepreneurial journey.
2. The New Career Economy and
Career Uncertainty
In today’s New Career Economy, there isn’t a traditional career path, and this career uncertainty
is triggering many people to consider business ownership as an alternative to a standard 9-5,
corporate job. However, many of these aspiring entrepreneurs don’t know where or how to
start.
When beginning your entrepreneurial journey, Identifying your Possibilities, Options and Dreams
(POD) that stand before you is one of the first steps that you should take when looking to join
the millions of Americans who are striving to become self-sufficient in their work. Today, The
Entrepreneur’s Source will explain what your unique Possibilities, Options and Dreams may be
and how an alternative career coach can help assist you on your entrepreneurial journey.
Before we talk about how you can identify your Possibilities, Options and Dreams, let’s first take
a minute to understand the difference between these three terms.
3. What is POD?
Possibilities:
There are hundreds, probably thousands of
possibilities when it comes to businesses to invest
in, but many hopeful entrepreneurs put on their
blinders and solely search for familiar possibilities,
which can be extremely harmful. The key to
determining one’s possibilities is discovering
avenues beyond your comfort zone and even your
area of expertise. In fact, The Entrepreneur’s Source
alternative career coaches find that 95 percent of
the time their clients capitalize on opportunities
they previously hadn’t considered or may have
formerly warded off.
4. What is POD?
Options:
In today’s New Career Economy, working a standard 9-5 is no longer a viable route to achieve
self-sufficiency. In order to truly achieve career control, business ownership is one of the best
routes. Once an individual has the ability to recognize this, prospective entrepreneurs can derive
new options that better support with their Income, Lifestyle, Wealth and Equity (I.L.W.E.) Goals
that they dream of achieving.
5. What is POD?
Dreams
Most of us have dreamed about what our future
would look like from a young age, but
oftentimes we put these dreams on hold due
because we fear they aren’t realistic or due to
extenuating circumstances. But if you think
about it, if you don’t dream big, will you ever
truly be satisfied in your career? You can’t move
from Employment to Empowerment without
rediscovering your dreams and creating a plan
to achieve them.
6. How to Achieve Your POD?
Now that we’ve identified your Possibilities, Options and Dreams, it’s time to start putting
systems in place and asking yourself questions to identify what possibilities and options are the
best to capitalize on, and how to get started.
7. How to Achieve Your POD?
Possibilities:
Daydream back to your childhood days where the possibilities for your future seemed as if they
were limitless. You believed that you could do or be anything and had the ability to focus on
your ultimate goal without fearing the hurdles that stood in your way. Entrepreneurs should use
this same mindset when questioning one’s possibilities.
8. How to Achieve Your POD?
Options
Have you fully considered all of your unique
opportunities? First, you should investigate the
options that exist in your current career. Is there
room to mature professionally, or does your career
path seem to be stagnant or sinking? If you find that
you aren’t satisfied with the options that are
provided in your current job, then you’ve likely
realized next move should be transitioning
from Employment to Empowerment. Identify what
you didn’t like about the options that You 1.0 had
and brainstorm what options align with what you
would like to be in You 2.0.
9. How to Achieve Your POD?
Dreams:
What future are you aspiring to? No dream is too big when fantasizing of what you’d like your
future to hold. Would you like to have the flexibility to attend all of your son’s basketball games?
Do you want to provide yourself the opportunity to retire early? Are you looking to have the
means to travel the world? Well, these dreams may not be too big to achieve with business
ownership as a vehicle.
