Starting Your Home Business is like Dance

I took my daughter to dance class today. I had a few hours to kill so I started to think about comparing starting your home business to starting a dance class. Take a few minutes and go on this journey with me.

You start your journey by researching dance and finding out what type of dance interests you. You check out the local dance studios to find the one that feels right for you. You sign up for that dance class and get excited as you purchase your equipment and supplies. Anxiety builds as you wait for that class because you are excited and eager to learn something new but you are also nervous and scared. You don’t know what to expect.

You arrive at the studio for your first class. You meet the instructor and everyone introduces themselves. You are now networking. You are meeting people with similar interests. They are getting to know you and vice verse. You find that you want to partner with them and you are reaching out past your comfort level.

Each week you attend class and practice your techniques. You are learning something new and you gain a new confidence with each step. You are now feeling good about yourself.

Before you know it you become an expert. You are projecting yourself with grace and poise. You project a confidence and knowledge to others and this positive attitude draws others to you.

You’ve accomplished something you never thought was possible. You can now coach others to be able to do the same thing. You are able to build your team.
Does this sound like your business?
