Hey, this is Leo, for Actualize.org, and in this video, I'm going to talk about how to start a business, really crack into it. I'm going to give you the foundation.

Five years ago I started my first business. I got into small business, online business development, and for me that was a huge just like totally

expanded my life totally life-changing experience when you start your own business and you go from being an employee

to being self-employed or even an employer if you have some people

working for you and it's a really powerful experience and it's one of the actually best ways

to do personal development.

So how to actually go about starting business?

If you consider this, then you've also probably run against a couple of obstacles.

And we're going to cover a couple of the key obstacles here that are probably keeping you from really starting that business and actually taking action on it, not just dreaming about it.

I think the two biggest obstacles to starting a business

is motivation, finding the time,

and then creating the capital.

So let's cover each of those and then actually I'm going to go in a little bit further and also talk about marketing.

And a little bit of the finances and the marketing aspect of

of starting a business, which is also very challenging, or it can be when you're starting off.

So first of all, let's talk about motivation.

Motivation is important because when you start a business you have nobody else that is driving you but yourself

So you really need to start to work on your motivation and start to work on your psychology in fact that is how I got into personal development and that rabbit hole just ultimately led to where I am here now, five years from now, shooting these videos and studying all this stuff.

But eventually it started just very simply I wanted more motivation to run my business.

The key thing when starting a business, you've got to ask yourself, why do you really want

this business?

What is it? And I would encourage you to find something within yourself
