Few years ago while i was just an employee, i keep on asking myself this question "How should i start my own business? " . Well, ever since i was a kid way back in my elementary years i used to sell candies just to earn money. My parents can provide but i just thought of how it feels when your earning by your own hard work. That is how i am until i graduated in college, my degree? yes of course! I finished a business degree.
After a graduate, my thoughts of having my own business never stopped. But how should i start it? I don't even have a capital. I said to myself " i need to work to earn at the same time to learn in handling business through my work." And for almost 4yrs working i did learn a lot and with the nature of my work i was able to travel to different places. I am so thankful for that experience and imagine while working i was able to do online business also :) I was selling clothing and apparels online. That was just my drive, simply enjoy selling ;)
Year 2011 while i was so exhausted and tired of my work i decided to open up my own boutique. I got an opportunity to rent a space. But that time i just don't have enough money. I never stopped thinking what to do, i realized i had to come up with money through cash loan. I really had this fear of having debts but i weighed out everything and made sure i will be able to cope up with it. I know i had to be disciplined enough to handle money. Honestly, with my experience as an employee i was never able to save enough. A lot are saying you can never get rich as an employee but i believe it depends, some really got rich. You know you can always be what you want to be.
I am still a starter in business, i must say its never easy. I cannot say i am successful now because i am still striving to make the business work. I tried to open up my second shop, i even have it in my previous post. The downside was i tried to hurry things up and invested on the second branch right away without realizing that i should have made the first one stable first, my bad i got aggressive that time. I lost it but i had no regrets because it made me realize a lot about business. You really have to take it one step at a time. You have to make sure the business is stable and improving. I have talked to a lot of business people and they taught me well that establishing a business is not that easy and it wont take you only few months but it would take you years to make a business really work. They say you can never be an entrepreneur if your not a risk taker but make sure you are risking on something you know you will never give up. Business is like a relationship, don't get into it if you know its not worth keeping and worth fighting, you know a lot of trials will come along way but you know what ever happens you will not give up. Business is sustainability but always work hard for it and if you know you have done everything you have to do and its not working then let go. But don't make failure stop you from doing business again because in time with your hardwork,passion and drive , you know you will be successful.
I may not earn millions with my business but i am happy because i know its what i love to do. And i am contented enough because of the happiness i have. I may be contented but i will still strive hard but not pushing myself to much. You don't have to pressure yourself too much because when you do every failure will be heartbreak. You just do business because its what you love to do,your passion is into it and when you are 100% into it, you will be able to sustain.
Always start a kind of business you know your interested in doing. Because at the end of the day with the failure and success, you never have regrets. ;)
Thank you for reading, its best for starter like me whether you want a huge business or just simply an earning business. ;)
Till nextime ;)
