I have concluded with careful consideration that it is time to table the idea of starting my own clothing and fashion design business. I had what I thought were some good ideas but when I ran them by some people, they were honest when they said that these ideas are nothing earth shattering. As hard as that was to hear, I am grateful for the honesty because it ended up saving me time and money. I actually don’t like being told what I want to hear. I would much rather honesty.
So it’s with this in mind that I am going back to my original plan on offering business 2 business services. So I am going to offer Project Management, Virtual CIO, Virtual Business Management, and Brand and Identity services. I will have to figure out the sales and marketing aspect because there are a large number of people that are doing things like this on a freelance basis. I would have to figure out my own little niche and way to differentiate myself.
I think if I can get a business started that offers 4 core services, that might be the better way to go about things. That much said this is a big if. I have a lot to think about now, including automation and workflow processes. Maybe I could build a thriving e-commerce business as well. It would be awesome if I could do 20-30K of revenue per month and that is a lofty goal. I want to narrow my focus because it seems like I am going off in several different directions; almost ADHD if you will.
As the old adage goes, “If you wait until your ready, you may never get past the point of readiness.” This essentially means that the biggest impediment to one’s success is one’s own fear, doubt, and uncertainty.
