I've never really thought about starting my own business until after I had my second child. You see I always thought that I would find a husband, we would get married and he'd work and take care of the kids and me. I would then stay home and take care of the kids, the home, and what he needs. It was so naive of me to think that way because the reality is the majority of men are afraid of commitments and most of the time women are left to care for their children on their own.
So after having my second child and another failed relationship, along with the loss of my job for many years, it dawned on me that I needed something that will be mine and that I can pass to my children. Something that will allow me not to miss out on their lives, and I can still provide for them. Also, something where I'm not going to be inconvenienced by being let go or left hunting for work because of unforeseen circumstances.
After many years of trying to put me out there to start something, it all failed. But recently I was introduced to an opportunity of starting my own business and realized that I failed because I wasn't doing it right.
To start your own business you first need a plan. You need to decide what type of business you want to create and if it will keep you making money in the longer run. You need to look at the market and see what is in demand all year round and how you can make your product and business stand out. Once you've looked at all angles and created your plan for the business you then need to put that plan in action.
Once you have started your business, you now need to be confident in your business that it will work, because when you are just starting out you will find that it will be very slow or you may have an increase in purchase and customer at first and then see a decrease, but you should expect that. Sometimes because we see things not working out at first we start to feel like quitting, but a business that's just starting will start slow or have its high and lows especially something seasonal.
When you think about doing a business you got to be able to accept criticism and you got to be open-minded. You got to also put your feelings aside and learn to be a leader and a team player. Because whilst people like someone that is in charge, they also like to be comfortable. As well you need to know your customers and create things that will draw them to your business, for example, people like stuff that is affordable or that will provide them their money's worth so be sure to deliver on that.
Last you got to be patient, keep putting all you got into your business because if your hasty, you will give up easily, if you put too little effort into your business it may crash or may never move from where it's at. Always make sure that whatever business option you start that it's something you love. Be sure that it's something you can see yourself still enjoy doing for years to come because a business is your own and once done properly it will be something that remains in your life for many years. It may also be something that you can pass down to your children and for many generations.
So guys I hope this helped you and that you receive abundant blessing and success in whatever your next step is in life.
