What I like about having my own business:
1. NO VACCINE! 😃 Literally the reason why I started lol
2. I get to work whenever I want, with who I want, wherever I want.
So no more:
Envious/passive aggressive coworkers
Micromanaging
Pretending to work
3. People treat me with more respect.
4. Paid by project > hours.
What I don't like
1. Cheap/Retard ass clients
2. Taxes are a pain!
3. Prospecting - constantly sending proposals, getting ghosted and following up with leads can be a pain.
Without giving away any doxxable info, what do you sell or who are your competitors?
@UncleIroh I have a marketing company.
What separates me from my competitors is speed (thanks to AI) and customer service.
Sure, marketing is a necessity when running your own business. What I meant was "marketing as a service" vs marketing an actual product or service.
Personally I've been uber busy with work lately and my own thoughts of starting a business.
Good luck.
Thanks! @UncleIroh
I see what you mean now.
It's a productized service so kind of a hybrid. Ex.
You get X deliverables per month for X $$.
It took alot of experimentation but I'm FINALLY getting some traction.
I would highly recommend starting your own even if it's just part time.
Got it. Product is a tougher gig than pure services (which is what I'm going for) since it has tangible material dependencies.
Stil, not easy getting going either way. If I ever jump in with both feet I'll anounce.
@UncleIroh I agree
I specifically started a service biz because I knew it would be easier to get off the ground.
Looking forward to your announcement!
