Top #6 Reasons To Make A Change This Year

Make This Year Your Time to Make a Change

Ditch the nine-to-five drudgery and this year start something new, start a live-action gaming business.

 

is this your year to start a business?

Potential battlefield operators must be prepared for life beyond the nine-to-five drudgery long before they log off for the last time.


Often, people just think about getting over the hurdles of everyday life without much thought about what entrepreneurship has to offer.

But a spark of "What if?" comes along, and operators start down the pathway towards owning their own business. 


"We encourage prospective battlefield operators to consider their gaming career aspirations early on, arming them with the information and tools they need to make an informed decision," said Nicole Lander, Founder of Battlefield Sports.

 

1. FRUSTRATION & DISILLUSIONMENT: Are you sick and tired of the state of your career? The new year is often a good time to take stock of your life. Are you frustrated? Are you disillusioned? Then, could you do something about it?


2. REDUNDANCY OR BUSINESS CLOSURE: Sometimes, the choice is taken out of your hands. But fate or fortune could be the catalyst needed to change your life. But a Battlefield Business could be just the ticket!


3. TIME TO LEAVE A DIMINISHING INDUSTRY: Do you remember vinyl records? Or even fax machines (or, before that, telex machines)? Sometimes, industries come and go. If you work in a diminishing industry, getting into a new technology sector, like live-action gaming, could be a good choice for 2025.


4. FIND YOUR PASSION: Is this the year the time to realign? Time to consider your personal/spiritual values? Think about the things that drive you and make you feel good. Is it working with teens? Do you love the latest gaming technology? Is it traveling? Is it working outdoors?  If you believe now is the time to change and follow your passion. 

Then, take action this year.

"Consider which theme suits your interests; is it a military-simulation theme, a family-friendly theme, a zombie/horror theme, or simply a combination of them all?" asks Nicole Lander. Don't fall into the trap of simply following in the footsteps of others or feeling pressure to go on a specific career path that isn't suited to your skillset or personality. If the job you have now is not where your passions lie, then it is unlikely to be the best for you," said Nicole.


5. GET RID OF THE OLD WORK CULTURE & GET HANDS ON YOUR NEW ONE. One of the terrific things about running your own business is that you can create your own work culture. Research the industry to understand exactly what a battlefield business involves. Ask questions and talk to people who know the industry. It all helps get a more realistic view of what the business entails. If possible, experience live-action gaming in the next county or across the State to experience the game yourself.


6. MAKE MONEY: Make a plan. Your passion might be to make a difference in the lives of the youth or to help people get active and outdoors. Whatever your core values, a business needs to make money. Break down your plan into step-by-step actions. That way, you know what you need to achieve your goals. The most important thing is knowing what you are heading towards and what you want to move towards. That way, you will keep your goals on track.
