Want a job? Make your own job!

Want a job?

 Make your own job!

Start your own job.  So what are you passionate about?

What niche will you choose?  Think about what you are good at, your employment history and — most importantly — what are you passionate about?

Remember that quality takes only moments to lose and years to regain.  Don’t stray from quality.

Remember that “nothing happens until a sale is made.”  Sales are what will drive your business.  You need a marketing plan that details how you will promote, distribute, price and sell your product or service.

Solve your customer’s problems.  The best way to satisfy your customers is not by selling them products and services but by providing solutions to their problems.  Understand the difference.

Don’t do it alone.  Tap into resources such as peers, mentors and trade associations that can take some of the rial and error out of starting  and running your own business.

And yes — you need a business plan.

Foremost,  to be successful you need an insatiable appetite to learn.
