Goal Crazy Founder on Finding a Business Idea Worth Leaving Everything For

yeah Yeah, yeah, that's, that's a lot of the process.

And I don't know if there was a specific moment.

Well, I'm sure the moment hit me where it was like, all right, planners is what I want to do.

But one of the habits that I developed, and I would strongly encourage this for other entrepreneurs, I still do this every day, is I dedicate time to dreaming every single day.

And that habit alone has changed my life.

It gets me.

So now I set a timer for 10 minutes every morning.

I'll go down into my basement before my kids get up.

put on my headphones, listen to music that gets me excited, and I'll just pace around dreaming about the type of life that I want.

And I was doing this when I was working at the dealership, and it was very clear to me I was always dreaming about starting my own business.

I was never dreaming about the car dealership.

So that started to give me clarity on this isn't what I want to do with my life.

And I would say if you start dreaming every day, it's going to give you one clarity on what you want to do.

Because you'll have some dreams that you think about for a few days in a row and then they pass.

Where you have other dreams that you can daydream about every day again and again and again.

And it just fills you with energy.

So it gives you a ton of clarity.

on what you want to do, but then it gives you the motivation because it gets so clear in your mind.

It's like I could, I was dreaming about starting my own business and eventually I started dreaming about launching a planner business and it just felt so fun and I was dreaming about it again and again.

And so it gave me the clarity, but it gave me the motivation to, I'm going to go do this because it's so clear what the outcome would be and how much I would enjoy it to take a courageous move, like leave my job, even when I was on a pretty good trajectory to be a business owner when I was at the car dealership.

Yeah, but that would be a business that you inherited or, you know, took over as opposed to starting something brand new, something fresh that quenched your thirst as you drink that water.

Yes.

Now, we didn't talk about the, you know, you didn't start it with tactics.

You started with dreaming.

You started with pain of being stuck.
