Think about what excites you the most in IT. Do you enjoy the coding process, solving complex problems, or creating something new? Knowing what you like will keep you motivated during the tough phases of business development.

2. What You Are Specialized In (Your Vocation)

Once you know what you like, you must couple it with a skill. Figure out your strengths and weaknesses in the IT industry. Are you a frontend developer, backend developer, data analyst, or software developer? Building a business around your strengths is essential for long-term success.

3. What the World Needs (Your Mission)

A successful business, including an IT business, solves problems. Identify the problems you can solve with your skills and passion. Aligning your skillset and passion with market demand will make your services desired and relevant.

4. What You Can Be Paid For (Your Profession)

Determine what the world needs within your expertise to identify what clients are willing to pay for. It could be software solutions or consulting services. Your pricing strategy should reflect the value you provide while remaining competitive. Starting an IT business is a challenging yet rewarding journey. It’s incredibly hard, and I made a zillion mistakes along the way, but the rewards are worth it. By aligning your passion, vocation, mission, and profession, you can build a successful and fulfilling IT venture.
