A few days ago i bought a book, Start Your Business Week by Week
, by Steve Parks. Now i am working through it bit by bit. Week 1, it suggests that you start a blog on its website. www.weekbyweek.net/startyourbusiness. I am all in favor of blogs. I have two already and have a few that i started just to experiment with the layout and design. So instead of keeping a blog on the website i have decided to resurrect an old blog, currently called KnottedEarth and blog about my foray into the field of self employment.
I have been thinking about starting a business for so long, i can't even remember when it started. When i started to think about this i just wanted to be my own boss. To run what ever business i was working in better than my current boss. If i was working in a hostel, i would dream of one day owning my own. I would lay out in my head, everything from what kind of bunks and duvet covers i would use to the check-in procedures. When i was in a job i hated, i would day dream about opening my own clothing store, where everything would be handmade by me. I had no idea about how to make any of this a reality, it seemed scary. Some times i would look to find out how much rents in the local shopping mall would cost and i would just be shocked the cost and stop there.
As the years and years have past, i have researched more on the internet. I have had two goes at starting small internet shops (one never had any stock and the other never sold anything). I have also stopped being scared, because i have realised that. That the worst that can happen is that i don't succeeded and end up working a dead end job and living in a hostel. As i am living in a hostel and working as a part time waiteress/housekeeper i figured that i am already at rock bottom and my only real way out is to make my own money.
