Developing a business from your passion is quit the
challenge. During the past year I have
explored many aspects of what works and doesn’t work for my business, but not
without examining financials and networks.
While evaluating current business situations I found that there were
many things I did not consider. One of
the major things I didn’t consider was that I couldn’t do it all alone. A few years ago I read a book by Bruce Judson
called “Go it Alone.” In the book he
discussed starting a business with little to no capital on your own. The examples he used in this book focused
mainly on Internet ecommerce businesses.
It has been a crazy journey with may twists and turns. I have found myself at a true loss, but I
realize that anything worth doing is hard.
I took on my first client under my company early this year it is a great
contract, but I quickly found that no one will take care of your business like
you will. Everything has been a huge
hurdle no matter what I do for this client.
I worked long hours and spent my own money to correct issues. I found that some times the people you want
to count on to help develop your business wouldn’t be there. I had to get creative if I was going to
accomplish all of my goals to finish this contract. I had to surround myself with people that
wanted to do what I was doing with a passion to succeed and break barriers.
Websites like elance.com and guru.com are great resources to
find talented people that are self-motivated to do more with their lives. The most valuable tool I found to help with
this business is the ability to recruit talent that will go the extra mile to
get the mission accomplished. My goal is
to continue to grow and develop with like-minded people. What have you seen on your journey either at
work or with your own developing business?
