A beginner’s guide-How to start your own business with confidence and clarity
How would you feel about owning your calendar instead of staying stuck somewhere secretly wishing that they’d fire you?
When I started to become more aware that something significant was meant for me, rather than just working for someone at a fixed job, first I thought I’d spend my time working as a freelancer.
It felt exciting for a bit, but soon I realised that it won't either give me the freedom that I was looking for. Because most importantly, instead of working to develop and grow my own ideas, I will still be working for someone else to grow their ideas and implement them, aka working for someone else.
During the birth of my entrepreneurial journey, I was working a 9-to-5 job at a company I did not really enjoy working. I was working in sales and marketing in the travel field. I “loved the work” I did, but I didn’t love the procedures that I had to follow. Moreover, I didn’t feel valued for what I did beyond receiving a word of gratitude, which wasn’t all I was looking for.
Additionally, there was a sudden and significant shift in management, and along came new rules to follow. The kind of rules that do not really make sense but just shout out “I’m the boss” kind of rules.
Anyway, long story short, for someone who had always thrived in friendly, flexible, and independent environments, these new rules felt absurd and pointless.
Waking up and showing up for work every day became exhausting,
rather than the satisfaction it brought me on paydays. I didn’t want to go to work, but at the same time, I wasn’t ready to seek employment elsewhere. The desire to create, build and grow something based on my own thinking was much higher than staying in the "comfort zone" letting me get paid under valued. That’s when I finally decided to get started with my own business.
The idea excited me, but at that moment, that was all I knew—I had a desire but no real plan.The thought of how to go about it made me anxious because I had no idea where to get started or what to focus on. So, I rolled up my sleeves and began researching during my free time. The more I researched, the more I realised how little I knew. At times, it felt overwhelming, and I struggled to understand even the simplest concepts of things.There was so much to learn! I invested in long and short courses, sought coaching, learned new skills, and much more to prepare myself to launch my own real business!
There, that’s how I successfully launched my business without having done any freelancing work. As a total new beginner just like YOU. But starting your own business can be an exhilarating yet daunting journey if you’re planning to do it all by yourself. Plus, it will take you forever to get yourself out there as an entrepreneur.
Starting your own business is one of the most exciting and intimidating journeys you can embark on. Whether you're dreaming of launching a cozy café or a tech startup, the path from idea to execution can feel overwhelming. But with the right mindset and a clear roadmap, you can turn your vision into reality.
This guide breaks down the essentials to help you start your business with confidence and clarity. Confidence grows with action, and clarity comes from doing, not just planning.
Begin by clarifying your purpose and validating your idea through research and feedback. Create a simple business plan outlining your mission, target market, and revenue model. Take care of legal requirements, manage your finances wisely, and build a brand that resonates with your audience. Surround yourself with a supportive network and don’t wait for perfection, launch, learn, and iterate.
So take the first step and bring your vision to life. Your future business is waiting for you to get started
Do you think you’re ready? Book a FREE session with me to find out more on how you can launch your own business.
Inside my program, I will be guiding you step-by-step from
scratch, throughout your launching face, and until you get your business moving steadily.What I mean by starting from scratch is to help you launch your own business even if you don’t have a business idea yet, but if you do have the passion to create and build your own idea to life. I have worked with new beginners who only had an
interest and a passion.
But they were willing to do the work, that’s obviously essential.
Let’s talk a little more about passion.
Ignite Your Passion
Every successful business started with a passion. Consider what excites you or what problems you wish to solve. Your interests can be the foundation of your business, but your passion will be what will drive to to build it consistently.
Your business can be an online business with products or services. Apart from online space, your business can be around crafting homemade candles or crafting souvenirs from soaps etc.
I have a friend who craft beautiful flower bouquets made from soaps-which lasts as long as it’s kept dry.
My point is that it does not have to be educational software or offering content creation for you to get started. What’s important is for you to get started, which is also the scariest and most difficult part of all. But hey, it’s hard to stay stuck where you are, right? And eventually you’ll start
wondering again whether you should get started, but when you start
right now, it will take you ahead into successfully quitting your job soon, FOREVER!
Whether it’s a product or a service you offer, you must do the right
market research to place your business on solid ground for it to grow.
Marketing: deciding whether you want to place your
business through a website or, if not, identifying social platforms where your target audience will be, and how you can reach them should be under your business plans.
You can run promotional campaigns leading up to your launch to
generate interest and excitement and connect with your audience.
In my program “Discover your true career potential,” where I
lay out for you the stepping stones to launch your own business, I dive deep into market research with you. Do inner work to identify your challenges, fears, and roadblocks to overcome them with clarity so you can confidentially launch your business.
