Today's Maven Mini is for everyone out there who is just getting started. I know a lot of you struggle with being overwhelmed and so did I when I first started this entrepreneurial journey. In the beginning, you just have so much to do! Your head is literally full of puzzle pieces and it's just swimming everywhere. I completely get it, but honestly that just creates more fear for you.
The first thing I recommend you do is write everything down that's swimming in your head. Every thought, idea, possibility, path, method, everything, write it out! This will give you a big sense of relief when you finish, believe me.
Second thing I recommend you do is to go to the foundation. The foundations of getting started are all about what makes you unique/special/different. What do you have to offer that other people don't or how do you combine your talents to really stand out?
Once you've mapped yourself out, understand who your ideal clients are. Those clients that would be attracted to your image and persona. What is your niche? Your target market? Most importantly, what is their big problem that you can solve better than any of your competitors out there?
Lastly, take action! It may sound simple, but you would be surprised at how analysis/paralysis can creep up on you. You have to take that step in order to successfully create that path you were meant to live.
