Challenge Yourself Says Jon Parrish, Business Mogul and Former Attorney<\/strong><\/h2>\n

While it\u2019s important to set realistic goals and layout exactly how you\u2019re going to accomplish them, it\u2019s also important to challenge yourself. As you lay the foundation for your business, setting stretch goals can give you a major advantage over the competition. Now is not the time to play it safe.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou play it safe when you have too much to lose,\u201d says <\/span>former attorney Jon Parrish<\/span><\/a>. \u201cWhen you\u2019re just starting out, there isn\u2019t anything to lose. You have the freedom to be ambitious and reach for the stars.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

So when you\u2019re laying out your business plan (see below), make sure that you\u2019re including room for aggressive growth. Set your goals about 10-15% higher than you think you\u2019re capable of. You\u2019ll be surprised how often you can achieve that little bit more when you\u2019re working towards it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is where even the most passionate young entrepreneurs can stumble. You have to have a practical and well-thought-out business plan in order to succeed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A well-written business plan clearly defines your path forward by laying out exactly how you will achieve your lofty, challenging goals. This is not the time for vague platitudes and motivational speeches, says Parrish. Now is the time for details. A lot of entrepreneurs put off business planning or try to skip this step altogether because it\u2019s time-consuming.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But don\u2019t let that stop you. Instead, embrace the challenge (see above), roll up your sleeves, and dive into the nitty-gritty. You\u2019ll be surprised how fun it can be once you get started, <\/span>says Jon Parrish former attorney at law<\/span><\/a>. \u201cAfter all, you love this business, that\u2019s why you started it.
