I move on, I move on, I move on. Every day, I impose a hellish discipline on myself to put my desires and the feasibility of my project into perspective. While feeling free from my thoughts.

I think freely about my idea

It is important to study all the opportunities while remaining as open as possible. This step is similar to brainstorming. I start by recording everything that makes me dream, the mission I want to fulfill, my potential target (clientele). I draw up an inventory of the things that interest me and that already exist, I try to make the connection between who I am, my skills and the sector in which I wish to evolve. From there, I rely on this assessment to channel my thinking, develop a track by laying down all my ideas, I make sure to feed myself with testimonials from entrepreneurs for feedback, which is very useful.

I put it in writing

Noting is great, I have the impression of maturing something serious. But it's time to step up a gear. The pretty notebooks blackened with words are a good start, certainly, and allow you to take a step back from yourself. But I must further detail my prospects for change . For example, writing “I want to work with children” is not enough. I practice specifying the actions: “Do I want to start alone? », « Is this a sales, support or service project? », « in this project, do I want to supervise people? in which sector ? do I want to work from home or rent offices? '. All of this determines context and feasibility. That's it, everything becomes more concrete, I just have to quickly confront this project with reality .

The questions are multiplying: “What is the competition? », « is it feasible? what do i need? funding, support from a bank? '. For example, the situation between a coaching activity and the creation of a product from A to Z with key suppliers is not the same! It may be interesting to meet structures like BPI France , a local chamber of commerce, to find out about the support systems and possible support. No way to stay alone in my corner without seeking help in my business creation process!

I test it with my family and friends

Confronting your ideas is essential, but you have to know how to take a step back. The entourage, even benevolent, can sometimes express fears of their own. I decide to discuss with entrepreneurs or people who support future business creators. I cross-check the different opinions, I speak to cooperatives of entrepreneurs, incubators, I listen to their difficulties, I discuss practical issues with them such as remuneration. These meetings allow you to reassure yourself and it feels good!

I re-examine the viability of the project after feedback from those around me

After this survey on a profession or a field of activity, I draw up a mini questionnaire, I adjust my project, not hesitating to underline how much such a point, easy at the start, is no longer so, and vice versa. I let a few days or several weeks pass, the time to digest all this information gleaned. This second week is essential to obtain effective market research, the next stage of my learning.
