Living in
the Rust Belt has taught us a
valuable lesson. The odds of working at one company throughout our entire
career are about as likely as pigs learning to fly.
With the
economy suffering, many people are unemployed. What better time to start your
own business?

Starting a
business can be simple. Just figure out a need and deliver the results. Just
offer a simple need that people are looking for in their daily
lives. I know it sounds easy, but it’s true.
Now here’s the tricky part:
Whatever you
decide to do- do it better than anyone
else. Take the time to reflect on how you can provide something and add enough
value to the service to make yourself stand-out! Impressing your customers goes
a long way with referrals and loyalty.
If you want
to be successful and compete against existing business you must do something
the competition doesn’t do.
Marketing
yourself is crucial for your starting your own business. Figure out your niche
business and how to reach your clientele. Perhaps business cards or flyer's
might be all that you need. Internet sources such as experienced professionals,
group forums, Google searches or associated
organizations are among those who can provide useful information. Don’t be
afraid to steal an idea.
Feel free to
email me with any questions you
have.
Persistence and time are your friends in this process. Stand by their side and you
will eventually prosper.
Perhaps you
will need a simple website to get started. Google
and WordPress offer free access to building your own website. Another option
would be to hire someone to create a site specific for your needs or purchase a
premium site through WordPress.org.
There are
many excellent books and social media sites
available to pickup tips, facts and provide education for entrepreneurship,
creating websites and marketing with social media.

Chris
Guillebeau has
recently authored a new book entitled: “The $100 Startup: Reinvent the Way You Make
a Living, Do What You Love, and Create a New Future.”
The
$100 Startup has a wealth of great start-up ideas and solid time-tested
methods towards achieving success. Many of the entrepreneurs discussed in the
book started with $100.00 or less to
create their own income or small business. Chris keeps things simple within a
do-able formula to launch your idea.
I can’t
think of a better time to experience the freedom of being an entrepreneur. Immerse
yourself in learning how to create a future income in something you love to do.
It doesn’t have to cost a fortune; require multiple college degrees or an army of employees and an array of real estate.
The educational opportunity alone is priceless.
Besides, why wait for pigs to fly when you can fly like an Eagle today!
Until We Meet Again,
