WEST PALM BEACH, FL — “I teach kids to buy two bicycles; one to ride and one to rent,” says business philosopher Jim Rohn. Entrepreneurialism is a natural human phenomenon and today, with job security as secure as airline flight schedules, the only security is the security you create for yourself.
One of the best ways to start your own business is to do it while working for someone else. Start it part-time. Who said it’s best to put all your eggs in one basket? Whatever happened to diversification and multiple streams of income? Everyone should have a business, even a part time business, for three main reasons: 1) To build a safety net, 2) to pursue your passions, and 2) to use as a tax write off.

Here are 8 principles for successful entrepreneurs. 1) Identify a business opportunity that gets you excited. 2) Develop a name and logo for the business. 3) Read books on starting your own business. 4) Work an hour on your business every day. 5) Select at least 3 people to be on your board of directors – to advise you with your business. 6) Write a business plan with strategies and deadlines. 7) Enjoy the journey of starting your own business. 8) Visualize and feel success today – to manifest it tomorrow.
