INTRODUCTION

You are not a banana, peeled of inedible skin (even though you share 50 percent of a banana’s DNA). You are more like a caterpillar. That’s the typical idea…the cliché. You are like a caterpillar preparing to turn into a beautiful butterfly, and in a short while you are going to meet the extraordinary new You. Actually, you are not exactly a ‘new’ You. You are the you who has been waiting to emerge for years, maybe decades...the one who has been waiting for her big break.

You are the you, who told classmates you would run your own business one day, and cried a little when they laughed at you.

You are the you, who hid for hours, reading personal development and success books, and wondered if anyone really could have everything she wanted.

You are the you, who once bravely spoke up with an innovative idea in your weekly meeting, but not again after everyone smiled indulgently at you, but did not implement your plan, which of course would have earned the company millions.

You are the you, who saw dozens of affordable products, small shops, bright websites, and confident speakers evolve into successful entrepreneurial enterprises, while you sat passively by and wished to do the same.

That you is waiting to emerge, waiting to cast off the old skin, and fly away with luminous undulating wings.

That you is the one who is finally going to start her own business.

You know that this is the role you have always wanted to play.

In Hollywood, when an acting role is recast, it means the first choice no longer fits the production’s vision for the content. The expected result no longer matches the original choice, and perhaps a day, or sometimes weeks into production, a change is required.

Another person is brought in to take over the role on the same production. This player is expected to better fit the part, and deliver the synchronicity the director hoped to see.

When you find yourself in a role that no longer suits your vision, you too can be recast into the role you are really meant to be playing. You want out of the former story, and into a vision for your life that takes you beyond even your own expectations.

The vision to become an entrepreneur.

You want to be a contributor, having purpose and delivering value to those who want or need the skills you have to offer. You have recognized that your current reduced role does not emphasize your talents and brainpower.

You must recast yourself to fulfill your own vision, by turning away from dreary, safe dialogue and actions, to find the part you have always wanted to play. You re-create yourself to be exactly who you have always wanted to be.

When you do…you experience the euphoria of relief in having made your decision!

The light seems brighter today. Perhaps because it’s enthused with your own optimistic plans. You are going to take your ideas directly into the world, and expose for the first time the solutions and value you thought could only be delivered by someone else.

You have finally realized, that someone else is you. The role belongs to you.

You are going to give yourself a role that supports your definition of professional satisfaction, financial security, and lifestyle freedom. The role of a business owner and leader of your own enterprise, delivering value to those who want or need the product or service you create, and who will align with you to make sure it is delivered.

Becoming an entrepreneur is a definable life transition. If you have been on the treadmill for years executing someone else’s vision, now is the time to work for yourself, and bring your own ideas forward.

You will be responsible and accountable for your decisions, but also receive the acknowledgment and rewards. Every minute you spend working will be towards your own goals, getting your ideas out into the world, and supporting your customer or client community.

Your life transforms from being just another cog in the wheel, to owning the whole vehicle.

J. Paul Getty apparently once said: Why do 100% of the work for 1% of the compensation, when you can do 100% of the work for 100% of the compensation?*

Why indeed?

So the trumpets are blaring! The marching band is in rhythm! Your million-dollar plan is about to get rolling!

But…

You do not know where to start.

After so many years of doing other people’s work, you’re not sure how to position yourself for self-generated success.

How do you start on the dream that has eluded you for so long?

What’s the first thing to do? And the second? And the third?

This book will tell you.

Recast is about the first ten actions you should do to establish yourself as an entrepreneur after working in corporate, at other jobs, or just starting out before or after college.

This book starts the entrepreneurial journey where no other story begins - with you, your personal environment, and your own comfort and care. Before we start talking about plans, markets and operations, we are going to make sure you are ready to hear, and implement, the information you need to get started.

Too many aspiring entrepreneurs do not get past the starting line, because they fail to understand the business game they are entering, prior to trying to compete.

Recast will help you see the foundational anchors, which so many others miss. You will be able to implement the first ten actions before you try to start a business, and avoid becoming frustrated by the unexpected.

Some of the information in this book has previously appeared on the Ready Entrepreneur blog or podcast. Aggregated here, the actions are presented one after another in a form that can be implemented immediately.

When you’ve read through to the end, you should be prepared to join the global community of entrepreneurs who are making a difference in the world today.

The entire picture of your success started the minute you decided to create your own business. Taking action puts you ahead of millions of others who only go as far as the dream.

You set yourself up for your own victory, by making the decision to move forward. As you read through these pages, you will transform before your own eyes. This journey is not about the mechanics of starting a specific business, but about the opportunity for you to have the life you have always wanted.

This book is your guide through the post-status-quo jitters, to focus your mind on a galvanizing task, which will revitalize and excite you for
