Do you haved a mission or purpose for your life? Do you know what it is? As a child we often plan our future, but as adults we let society dictate what we should do. The women's movement in the'70's help open the doors for women in the corporate environment, but they still hit a glass ceiling. Today with the workplace moving back to the small businessman working from home more women have t6heir own business so they are breaking through the glass ceiling. Every business needs to have a written mission statement (business plan) to follow to make their business a success, but we often forget to plan for success in our personal lives. If you don't have a written plan it is hard to think about and plan for your future. Here are some things to think about. While you were in school your teacher planned out the curriculum so you had a goal in place which was toread and study what you were told to. Then in college there was less structure so you have toset you own goals for your education--finding gainful employment after graduation. When you worked a company they wrote your mission for you. When you have your own business you have to know the mission of your company. Think about planning your personal life as well. What direction do you want to go in--business or marriage. A marriage take work by two people to make it successful--having the same goal for your personal life. If one or the other decides to change the goal and they don't discuss it--there is a breakdown in the relationship.

Underestimating startup costs. There is nothing worse for a startup – I mean nothing worse – than beginning a new business and not having enough money to make a go of it. When you start a business, you put a lot on the line: Your name, reputation, money, other people's money (probably), your family’s future . . . and that’s just for starters. So you have to give yourself the best chance possible of making a legitimate go of it. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/live-without-limits/support

. Online Presence - Needless to say, that every start-up would need a website. And you should strictly avoid using free web hosting sites. Spend money in buying the domain name & space. If you are familiar with website design or DIY website platforms, you can save some money but make sure the site has the professional user experience. A web site is the online face of your start-up, and hence you shouldn't shy away from spending a few bucks if need be. Apart from having a good website, you should have the right email, web-meetings and social presence. While one can argue that all of these can be picked up for free or freemium, IMO it is worthwhile spending some money in buying the domain, space, email address, online conference & communication services, mobile platform (if need be) and digital marketing. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/live-without-limits/support

1. Create a Plan and Follow it Creating a well thought out business plan to start off with. These initial steps may seem pointless to some but It’s strongly advisable to spend time on your business plan, putting it down on paper. Once you get down to doing that, you realize the gaps in your idea and conclude with a more concrete plan for your business going forward – especially financially. Back in 2012, when we had finalized on the idea of PropShop24, we spent the next 6 months creating our business plan and budgets, reaching out to international brands, getting our registrations and paperwork in place – sales tax, company registration import licenses and what not. Thankfully these processes are now much easier. We built a strong base before receiving our first order and when we did, thanks to the foundation we were able to execute operations smoothly. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/live-without-limits/support
