WHY YOU SHOULD START THAT SMALL BUSINESS
No idea is too small. Literally, people come up with the funkiest and most obscure products, but they’re still selling. Even lumberjack outfits for your pet! There may not be a lot of new ideas left, but the world needs to hear about your genius; your idea. That new product you conjured up, that piece of artwork that you have been brainstorming about, that photo shoot idea waiting to happen.
Creativity breeds creativity. The more you embrace your ideas and bring them to light, the more others will do the same. You may be telling yourself all the reasons that ‘you’re not good enough’, but listen... Even Microsoft was just an idea that began in a garage — and now look at what it has become!
Your new idea will give you the practical experience that you may need down the road. There is so much to a small business, and you’ll learn about topics like branding, building client relations, collaborating, website design, marketing, social media, and running an e-commerce platform. Because who doesn’t love a spiffy website and cohesive brand appearance?
Better yet, you’ll even find about manufacturing and which companies to choose. Whether it be sustainable, local, or made in the USA — you’ll find out about what companies are out there and even make friends with like-minds along the way.
Learn about the little things that keep your business like time management, scheduling, building confidence, researching other businesses, and building up your brand’s voice or your voice.
This process will help you discover more about yourself and give you more experience for the business ventures ahead. And who knows, maybe you’ll end up selling your business for a handsome profit in the end? Be known as the person who starts a project and finishes it.
So get out there! Start your thing. And let me know how it goes!
