Experts call it a global crisis, economies are collapsing left and right, people losing jobs and businesses, no matter how big or small, are choosing to close their doors for good. If you were the type of person who looks at the glass half empty, then you would think it was the end of the world. But as a person like me who sees the glass as half full, I smell opportunity. Because you see, it’s like going back to the World War II era, where everyone had nothing and all was equal. Suffice to say, now is the time to think about going into business.
The first business I went into was becoming a local distributor for computer accessories, at first everything was going well but eventually the business flopped. I guess what happened was that I aimed a little to high for something a little too big. Business is not a magical solution that will make you rich overnight, you have to work hard to make it prosper, and believe me when I say hard. Even getting into the business is hard on its own, since there are a lot of questions that you should be asking yourself, like:
What kind of business should I establish?
What products or services should I offer?
What about pricing?
What about marketing?
What’s my target market?
What what what indeed. These are but some of the questions you need to answer first before even thinking of starting your own business. Maybe this time around I’ll try to aim for something smaller and more manageable like little kiosks.
Big things begin from small things as the saying goes.
