Remember David vs Goliath? Rocky Balboa in Rocky I? Or how about Susan Boyle singing her heart out and defying all those odds? All these minor miracles were all about the success of the underdog. Well this could end up being you and your small new business. Think about it. Nothing is impossible. Here’s some examples on how to turn your relatively modest molehill into a giant mountain of cash.
Lifestyle choices are becoming more and more popular with modern day society; breaking away from the stresses of office life, slaving away from early til late and not reaping the benefits. Now you can work from home or wherever you choose and start enjoying your hobby cum business and start enjoying your life. Yes it might be a risk but what isn’t a risk in modern day life? Moreover, you will take more pride and pleasure than ever before in doing something you enjoy and are an essential part of. For example, if you like fixing electrical things, have all the necessary equipment and are pretty adept at it, then why not start your very own electrical repair business. You can share your talents to the outside world and receive money from it. It’s a win win situation.
There are lots of other small business ideas for you to get your teeth into. You will be completely spoilt for choice, many of which have strong expansion possibilities like being a freelance consultant. Just imagine starting your business in your own bedroom and then a few years later, owning your whole franchise. Again let me reiterate that nothing is impossible. If you’re a fitness nut and are in decent shape then why not become a personal trainer? You can do your own marketing, work from home at your own leisure (if you have all the suitable equipment with you) and do what you normally do, just with an extra friend or two. Personal trainers are so in demand with the pressures of that perfect body that you can set your own prices, normally at a higher rate and people will readily pay it. Word of mouth is also a great tool in these kind of situations. Get them to spread the word to family and friends with a personalized business card and increase your already bulging paypacket.
Likewise, hair dressing is another business that can start from the very bottom and quickly make it into a local or even nationwide success. You can start from home with normal implements like a razor, scissors and a mirror, maybe testing yourselves on friends and family to start with. When you’re slightly more confident, how about spreading your name around via a sign in the post office down your road or with a small ad in the local paper. From then on, there’s lots of room for expansion. Makeup, facials and pedicures, beauty styling etc. The possibilities are endless. So start thinking about your own future now. What would you like to end up doing?
