Leaving the security of a full time corporate role to set up on your own doing work you love requires planning and commitment. It’s a process of significant change, challenge and growth and you must build and maintain momentum to keep moving and avoid getting stuck or stalled.
I define Momentum as “having a flow of opportunities coming into your world and the confidence and capability to seize the right ones”. Once you have Momentum (and understand why - and what you need to do to maintain it) you are unstoppable!
Momentum is everything. Here are the 5 critical resources that you need to build to ensure success.?
I call them the 5 Momentum Currencies??
1. INCOME
By far the most important factor! You have to keep money coming in as you transtion from a full time salary to gradually build your new income over time. The key is to slowly transition, ideally by going part-time first or just getting another job - basically anything that pays the bills whilst you develop your new business and start to build your new customer base. My Income Replacment Blueprint? details this process (see below to get your free copy).
2. ENERGY
You are off on one of the biggest adventures of your life. You’ll be building from scratch learning about business, developing your offering and finding and closing your first clients. Energy is a business currency - it’s attractive to others and essential to sustain your progress. A great morning routine, managing your sleep, diet, exercise and self-care are all critical to ensuring you are able to show up full of beans and ready to win the day.?
3. CONFIDENCE
Confidence is critical to starting this journey and ensuring you do yourself justice as you meet new people and sell your ideas. It’s important to leverage and repurpose the reputation, relationships and trust you enjoyed as an employee into your new world. Building your brand, mastering positive self-talk, staying current and active in your market will combine with the Income, Energy and Connection currencies to help you.?
4. CONNECTION
Outside of the corporate structure and ready-made body of peers, suppliers and customers, it’s easy to become isolated. You must activate your existing network and then grow it through focused outreach strategies. This attracts connections that, in turn, lead to new conversations with people who can become customers, partners or resources.?
5. BRAND
No longer standing on the shoulders of a corporate name, you have to build Brand YOU - a personal brand that encapsulates what you know, who you help, how you add value and why you are different. This is critical to positioning you as a premium offering (think Kelloggs corn flakes v own label). You will use content creation to sharpen you thinking and publish it as part of your network-building activities.?
