It's not as impossible as you might think to start a business
while working a 9-5 job. There are certain ways to make it work and here are 5 ways to start a business
while working a full-time job.
Be Committed
Commitment is one of the major things that will help you get
through the hard and difficult times of starting a business while working a
full-time job. To help with commitment, you can write a list of all your
necessary activities and prioritize them. Try to lessen your involvement with
or the time you give to activities that are not very relevant, and invest that
time in your new business venture. It might not be the most convenient thing,
but you have be determined to sacrifice as much as you can to make it work,
without jeopardizing your full-time job or spreading yourself too thin. This is
why prioritizing your activities is very important.
Consider Your Strengths, Interests and Weaknesses
To help you successfully start a business while working a
full-time job, you should take an inventory of your strengths, interests and
weaknesses. Your strengths and interests can culminate in you having some of
the necessary skills to drive your business success. For the skills you don't
have but are necessary for the success of your business (in other words, your
areas of weakness), you can take time out to learn the skill, or outsource or
hire someone else who has the required skill and can help you pick up the
slack.
Be Sure to Validate Your Business Idea
This is very important because a business can't be successful if
there is a lack of market need for its offerings. You should thus ensure that
you validate your business idea before starting a business based on it. A
business needs a lot more than the passion of its founder to be successful and
sustainable. Ensure your business concepts and product ideas are fully thought
out, useful and properly researched, and that there is ongoing feedback from
your customers or target audience about your product or service. This is one
sure way to guarantee business growth.
Outsource as much as You Can
You might have the skills to do virtually everything related to
your business, but because of your full-time job, the fact is that you just
don't have the time. This is where outsourcing comes in, to help you pick up
the slack and move your business forward. Focus on doing what you can do better
than anyone else, and outsource the rest. To help save cost, you can consider
outsourcing to people that will be willing to work for free or at a low cost.
You can also consider offering some of the shares of your business to some of
these people for coming on board, rather than paying them cash, if you consider
the skills they are bringing into your business extremely valuable and vital to
the growth of your business.
Try Not To Blur the Line Between Your Business Work and Your
Full-Time Job
When push comes to shove, you're still being paid to work for
your employer so you should ensure that you take care of the work for your
full-time job when you need to. Avoid abandoning the work for your full-time
job to take care of your business work. Give to Caesar what's Caesar's.
