About a week ago I wrote about having my own business. I haven’t written anything since because there’s not been much to write about.
I downloaded and read the Teaching Sells report and decided it wasn’t for me. It involves deciding on a niche and setting up a website and forum etc to sell something that you can teach people and make them pay for. I’ve never wanted to be a teacher in a really explicit way like that so while it was interesting reading, it’s not for me. Plus it was going to cost nearly $1000 which for something I’m not sure about made it definitely not for me.
Other research has hit a stumbling block too. I tried to get the book I mentioned in my earlier post called ‘What’s next’ but none of my libraries (yes I have more than one) had it. I have to go to the library this weekend to return some books so I’ll look in the career/small business section.
As for websites that talk about starting up your own business I haven’t really found any, nor really been looking that hard to be honest.
So it’s going really well isn’t it?
However, I did meet with my friend to talk about creating her website and she left with a list of tasks, ie getting content to me. So that’s on hold until she writes the content.
I’ve also been busy reviewing a fantastic product, the first post I’ll add over the weekend. It’s been loads of fun to do, and has involved some great quality time with my son which for me comes first anyway.
But I continue to write about this hypothetical business of mine in the hope that something might come of it.
Hope you can get a copy of the book. I really like the idea of creating a business for myself – just need to wait until I have more time to act on in though!
Jen, you have to go with what your are confident and comfortable with.
I see far too many same same websites where “specialists” are selling just another pot of goanna oil, KWIM?
But hey, you haven’t seen a site that tells you how to set up a new business? Perhaps that is the niche?
Good luck.
Jeanie, yes, perhaps that is a niche. I guess people are focused on selling their business and not talking about how to set it up in the first place. This is partly why I’m documenting my process, partly in the hope that something will come out of it.
