Many a profitable business has been started from a scratch of the head and a puzzled look on a face.
Being faced with a problem that there’s no ready-made solution for can be the stimulus for a great business idea.
Figuring out the solution to your own problem and realising that there are other people out there in the same situation, willing to pay for a solution, is the first step in every business, no matter how big or small.
Problems can come in all shapes and sizes, from thirst to boredom to leaky pipes to making tough decisions.But so can the solutions, and the businesses who supply those solutions.
How do I know this?
Well, after opening my own business at 21 and running that for over 9 years, I went back to college, got my degree and have worked as a management accountant in small and medium enterprises since 2003.
So I know how hard it is to get an idea out of your head and into reality, I know the day to day slog of keeping a business going in the face of endless regulation and red tape, while still trying to focus on your customers. I know there are better ways to do business and there are things you can do to make it easier on you to manage your business.
And now I’m starting again, but this time I hope to make your business, my business!
This blog will follow my progress in starting my own business providing advice, training and practical services to people starting a small business or moving to self-employment.
