Just about everyone dreams of starting their own business. “I want to be my own boss” is a phrase echoed by nearly everyone who’s worked corporate at some point or another.

But it’s easier said than done.

If this sounds familiar, the first thing you probably struggle with is finding a business idea. Or maybe you’re on the opposite end of the spectrum. You have too many ideas.

Whether you have no idea or too many ideas, the problem is the same: you don’t have that one idea.

The one idea that will take you from a nobody to somebody. That one idea that will give you a lifestyle you want. That one idea that will impact the lives of others and make the world a better place.

If only you could find that one idea, everything would change. So how do you transform something from a dream into reality?

Here’s the Secret

You’re putting way, way too much pressure on yourself with this whole idea thing.

Chances are, you believe that finding that elusive, brilliant idea means the rest will fall into place. You think that once you go through the hard work of finding out what you should do, everything else will be easy.
