Lifestyle Business: Let’s break it down.

A lifestyle business is one that is geared toward supporting the owner’s income and personal requirements rather than maximizing revenue.

A lifestyle business has no commercial goodwill. The only goodwill in a lifestyle business is personal and this is what makes the concept unique. The company is designed in a way so as to satisfy the owner’s personal objectives.

Lifestyle businesses are becoming more common among individuals seeking a better work-life balance.

In building a lifestyle business, your priorities start with a strong mindset. You must “see it” and believe it. Your family and friends are also a part of the start. You can’t ignore or neglect them while you build this dream. Start with working on the dream in the margins. Keep your close ones in the loop and have them help you — because the end goal is building a sustainable life without overexerting yourself.

Fill your mind with inspiration daily. Podcasts, videos and books can be your best friend if you don’t give into information overload. Consume what will either help your next steps or what will inspire you to act.

Many are under the impression that, when you start a lifestyle business, it is of a full-time nature. You can start a lifestyle business on the side, while you are holding a regular job. Some of the more successful lifestyle entrepreneurs started out that way: they had jobs and were already earning income, but they set up their lifestyle business on the side. Then they decided to do it full-time when their business started succeeding and they were earning enough to sustain their lifestyle even if they quit their previous job.

For those unfamiliar with the concept of a lifestyle business, it won’t seem like it is a business at all. But you will be surprised at how flexible this type of business is. Here are some of the most common examples of thriving lifestyle businesses today -

· Blogging: This is probably one of the best examples of a lifestyle business. Many bloggers make their living and thrive off blogging.

· Writing: Writers prefer to take the freelance route instead of being employed in established organizations or companies. They travel, go places, experience things and write about them.

· Consulting: Services of consultants are sought after these days, ranging from matters regarding finance, law, technology, health, travel, real estate, and more.

· Online stores: E-commerce also falls into the lifestyle business category if they meet the definition of one.
