The Book Shelf technique to find an online business idea you will LOVE

Doing a job you hate sucks. Everyday you spend hours and hours on something you do not like.

 

It’s tiring. It drains you. And you know from within you are just doing it for the sake of it. For a fixed monthly income.

 

In reality, you don’t enjoy it.

 

What if you start a business, and not just any business, but rather a business you LOVE doing what you do.

 

Imagine this — you no more have to think of waking up early next morning. Or just the thought to do the same tiring thing the next day.

 

Instead, you look forward to the next morning. You look forward to get out of your bed, have breakfast and work on something you are deeply passionate and excited about.

 

How would life be? What would it mean to you?

 

Today, I’ll show you a simple technique that makes you come up with online business ideas you are naturally passionate about.

 

It’s an easy-to-use technique, and all you need is your thinking hat.

 

I call it the Book Shelf technique.

 

 

The Book Shelf technique to find an idea you’re passionate about

 

Do you love reading books? If yes, great.

 

If no, don’t worry. This technique does not require you to love reading books.

 

Rather, I want you to picture this. You go to a library store. Come’on, just imagine it.

 

Alright great.

Now, what do you see? Thousands and thousands of books right in front of you.

 

Ask yourself — which book would you pick IF you had to? No judgements. No guesses. Let’s be honest here.

 

There are a few categories of books you are naturally attracted towards. Which are they?

 

Would you

 

 

Which books would you pick if you had to? Let’s do a real-life case study here.

 

If you ask me, I would check book categories of:

 

  • Business strategies
  • Charisma and become likeable
  • Using humor and tone in your speech
  • Persuasion, psychology and influence
  • Copywriting

 

Woah! We have a bunch of business ideas right in front of us. You see? Let me show you.

 

We can start a business around business strategies, how to grow your business, how to hire people, how to retain clients, etc.

 

Or we can start around copywriting, content writing, how to write better, how to start a content blog, what type of articles to write, etc.

 

Or we can take humor as a business idea, and evaluate stand-up comedy as a viable business.

 

You see what we just did there?

 

We took these ideas which are hovering in our mind, down to the streets and converted into a tangible roadmap.

 

This is beautiful.

 

Now, of course, we have to do a lot more work. Like researching further on the idea, evaluating demand for it, validating it, and getting our first clients to guarantee this idea works.

 

But, right now, all we are doing is brainstorming. Writing down all possible ideas which might be good. No rocket science. No fancy excel spreadsheets.

 

Just make a note on what topics you already love to immerse yourself in. That’s an amazing first step in getting started.

 

 

You are ALREADY an expert at this

 

The best part about this technique? It’s that you don’t have to worry about the nonsense questions, like “what if I am not an expert?” or “what if I am not good at this?”

 

You are already good at this. You are good enough. That’s what you need to start a business.

 

Remember, there are only the fundamental things you need to start a business. That is:

 

  • Finding an idea you will LOVE
  • Validating that idea
  • Getting your first 1-3 clients

 

Because once you get few customers, you can get the next 10. Then, the next 100. And you can grow.

 

The book shelf technique is amazing, since it goes inside your heart and makes you write down all the ideas which you are already good at.

 

You already love talking about these topics. Trust me it’s much much easier to start a business around what you love doing.
