Have you ever thought gosh I wish I had more money or time to sit around?

Honestly, when I was employed I was happy as I was, even the difficult months where I had to tighten my belt or tell myself gosh I don't see why saving money is so hard meant little.

Then when getting a full time job felt super difficult compared to the previous 10 to 14 years I said s....

What was different? This is when I said I need to do something and I started testing different businesses and business models until one worked.

Seriously, today I see the potential of what I can earn and it is 2 to 3 times what my full time salary was, even with the dry months and the ones where I look at my partner and fridge and say where are all the goodies...

In 7 months I had two sales, changed a few things and now my goal is to fill my list with clients. It isn't easy but I am doing it daily and as a woman over 35 this feels quite new.

If I were to redo everything knowing what I know today I would keep my part time job or full time one and start a side business and grow it until it is profitable because it would make more sense. And I would also keep in mind that the first years of testing and finding something new cost me only time but by the end of the first year of business I would eventually spend money for a business coach and marketing mentor too, instead of doing it 100% alone and relying on webinars. I would also include a small budget after the first year of launch for small marketing budget because even with 100% free tools eventually you find a need to spend simply for example for an email marketing automation service. And notice that choices are to be made, specifically when you discover that some tools you use and eventually pay for may be cheaper or free on other sites.

So far I am still doing the deep work but I still feel that starting a business and helping others find their dream career or business to start was a good thing.

What is your dream job or business to start? And what inspired you in it?

Is anyone still looking for their business idea or something that they can start?

And what is the biggest problem for you to start? Is it no money, finding clients or time?

Thanks.

Hello may seem strange but I noticed in some business groups that certain people haven't yet started a business and are hanging out to see what is trending, get inspired and more.

So I was wondering, is anyone in this sub still in what business to start phase or testing ideas?

And if so what would you need to really get going?

Thanks

I was wondering if anyone is thinking about transitioning from being employed to starting a business?

And if so would you spend money per month to find what you truly want, help to start it and get tools to promote it on social media organically.

Thanks.

Hello, I was wondering how many people in this sub are still working and looking to start a business?

And what is the most difficult thing at the moment stopping you from starting one?

And if you could would you spend time to find what business you truly want?

Hello I was wondering does anyone want to leave work to start a business?

I previously worked full time and I had an internal program that asked I find a new job after 5 years, as I basically only had a high school diploma and failed university it was super frustrating to find something within the company although I later completed a short business diploma.

After that I had short part time contracts working for different businesses but I always felt that I either needed to start a business or get a certification.

It took me some time to find what business I wanted to start and later I discovered that other people online started a side business while at work instead.

Today, I have grown professionally and started a full time business a few months ago but I am wondering is it something many think about? Is anyone in this sub thinking about starting a business? And if yes what is blocking you?

Hello I am looking for a person for daily walking and steps counting accountability partner.

I started a few months ago and it would be great to have another person doing the same thing for daily motivation.

If you are interested please let me know.

Hello, I recently decided to launch a membership, it is focused on career change, business, leisure and personal growth and development.

And I am looking for people who want to beta test it and give their feedback, in exchange they can get it at a first users monthly cost that is less than two coffees.

Anyone interested?

Hello, I recently decided to.attract clients with a membership so now I offer all that is on my website that is non affiliate at the price of 14.99 USD.

My field is leisure, career change and business and personal growth and development.

At the moment I have sold my downloadable products but not my one on one services and I hope this will motivate clients to sign up for them.

What do you think? Is this a good move? Do you have any other suggestions to get clients?

Hello I am feeling impatient and I was wondering who else feels this too?

I have been promoting my products and services for a year now and I have had two clients so far and previously three people sign-up for my free 15 min call to 1 hour offers.

However, I haven't reached my monthly and I am far from my yearly one too.

So meanwhile all my dreams of going on holiday and stay at a 5 stars hotel with a beautiful sunny beach are pending, instead I spend summer caring for my business and my family. So much that I felt many other solopreneur like me are simply impatient and waiting to reach their income goals to finally do the extra things they aspire to.

In addition, to keep my objective in mind I even came up with a service around creating the best holiday experience that people can buy.

And even though I clearly know and feel I will get the results I want, I somehow wonder concerning all the extra, leisure, holidays, outings and more do you also postpone these activities until you have a business that is where you want it to be?

And when do you think you will reach your target revenue?

If you ever found yourself stuck and wondering why don't I get a sale, or is my product interesting? I promote and no one is buying...Well I have found the trick.

It took me months and I even had to change strategy but I cracked the code. I went from who will want what I have? To hey someone signed up for my freebies.

The code m, I can't believe I am telling you this here, is giving out a free downloadable or 15 min session to discuss their problem and speak about your products!

It was not anymore: "oh I promote and nobody sees me" but rather "hey people are liking what I offer because they signed up to get my downloadable item!"

From there I felt more confident and I then sold my first product by posting where my audience was.

After this success, as business is, I found another area I had to work on, it was converting the leads into sales. This part is still in the testing phase of, so I am keeping this quiet.

So now you know the easiest way to get your products or services seen and validated.

Did you find this information helpful? Are you also in such a situation wondering if your business has value and if you will get leads and clients?

Hello I am seriously trying to increase the traffic on my website to reach 250 people or more per day or even month. At the moment I have approx 30 views per month even after posting weekly. I mainly promote it on Facebook and I created a strong SEO for it too.

I use wix but I do not have a registered domain anymore. Do you have any suggestions to increase audience and views?
