Quick Guide to the implementation of the "work of his dreams" from idea to action

If you are tired of the routine at work, if your feet are like include offline mode when approaching the office and are you in the opposite direction, if your everyday work merged into a monotonous stream, no end in sight, and if you dare not throw it all and finally start doing what I always wanted... then maybe this post will help you find the answers for themselves.

everett Bogue - the author of "The Art of Being Minimalist» ( «The Art of Being Minimalist») and other works on the theme of life in the style of minimal. And he not only tells us how to do it in theory. Everett himself is an example of this very freedom and gives the example of other real people, who have decided to change their lives.

I will try to briefly bring to you its basic ideas, and you, if you are really interested, you can become more familiar with his work.

Let's start with the principal. And the main thing is that you need to realize (not just know about it, because awareness - this is a slightly different category), that "

What would an ideal life, you can not imagine, you just have to know that it is possible».

Of course, much easier to do this when you have no children, no obligation, and you twenty. Children or sick parents are much complicate the task, but sometimes they are the impetus you need to start. For example, the author of the well-known Zenhabits Leo Babauta (Leo Babauta) started his own business, when he already had 6 children.

Now a closer look at the obstacles that arise on the way to "life of your dreams."

obstacles

1. Overcoming the fear of "certain death". What does it mean? If you decide to quit your friend a stable and well-paid (but nervous) work and even in such a complex time like this, people will start to twist a finger at his temple and frighten you with colorful paintings of lack of money and death hunger. This is especially true of people of the old school, for whom "going to work" means nothing other than the It is a campaign for a certain period of time (9: 00-18: 00, 9: 00-20: 00, 9: 00-... ?!) in certain office. That is what the work from home or they do not understand the free graphics, for them it does not work!

In fact, right now around you there are plenty of opportunities to find interesting ideas, meet new people, etc.

Ignore all of these horror movies, because it is possible that people are so project their fears onto you, or just envy your courage. Loss of a job for some time - not the worst thing that can happen to you, there are things much worse. Yes, it will be difficult, but the result is worth it.

2. Realize that you need to find new friends from work is not. It is not always the people with whom you are closely communicated at work will also be happy to meet with you once you start your own path. Near remain those who really is your friend. Old ties gradually weaken, because there is no common points of contact and interests. Look for new friends, visit the conference topics you are interested in and you will meet there with a number of interesting people, which in the future may be happy to help you with advice.

3. Allow yourself to dream the impossible. Set out on paper your goals that seem unrealistic to achieve. Much of what was considered impossible, as a result of already implemented. So why do not you be the next to bring to life one more unrealistic idea? Of course, this does not apply to something in the style of "I want to learn to fly", but the option to "live where I want, how I want to earn good money at the same time" seems a little crazy. But there are people who successfully implement it from year to year.

4. Be confident when discussing your ideas with friends and just interlocutors. You must be sure at 100% of your idea, strange as it may sound. Because your friends simply and sides are very skeptical to what you have said. But they may be wrong, right?

5. Do not let others decide their fate. The way you live, you decide and no one else, because it is your life. Of course, there are a number of close friends, your family, and you must not forget about them and build their plans so that in the end most people close to you, too, was good. Most Chapter -zaruchitsya their support and then everything will be much easier. But remember that the more you talk about change, the more difficult to finally begin to do something. Do not waste years trying to make a decision to change something, just do it.

What you need to do before you jump?

1. Find other cash flows (however small to begin with) in addition to your main job.

2. Collect enough money to live a normal life at least half a year (or more), while your new basic cash flow will not be stable and sufficient to maintain normal levels of life. The less you spend, the greater the chances of success.

3. Learn to live in a minimalist mode. This does not mean there are noodles and instant soups from packages just shall describe their costs and think about how they can be reduced. You can not make the purchase of your dreams, if you spend money on junk.

From my own experience, that our real life is different from that of Western Europe or the US, but even in our conditions, it is possible to jump and start to implement the business of their dreams. When you get to the first, it is possible that on the horizon there is another "dream deal" and you begin to implement it.

And I'm sure our readers have people who are currently in free flight and does not regret that jumped. True?
