5 Struggles & Lessons Learned While Starting A Business

business challengesLet’s face it – starting a business in this day and age and in this economy can be scary, even downright terrifying.  There’s so many “what ifs” to think about which seems to deter millions of people of taking the plunge.  Here is a list of the top 5 challenges and struggles I have faced, which no doubt anyone can face, while starting their own business.

My biggest challenge was Fear

Will I be able to bring in enough money each month?  How can I attract clients, and will they keep coming back?  Did I make the right decision to pursue this full-time?  Will people think I am crazy trying to start a business in this economy?  I assure you, all of these feelings are absolutely normal.  I found that in time I thrived on fear the most because I was more fearful on quitting and giving up then actually succeeding.

Determining your market and then finding your “niche.”

Finding your market is one thing, but determining your niche within that market is a little more difficult.  Clients will be scared away if your market is too broad or generalized so definitely narrow it down to a specific product or service you are offering.  Also, stake out your competition and do some real market research.  You’re probably not trying to re-create the wheel here, but check out what your competition is doing and see how you can innovate the business to make it different or better with your “stamp” of creativity on it.

WordPress Now Powers More Than 50 Million Sites

WordPress reaches 50 million websites

 

Open source blogging platform WordPress has reached an important milestone: It powers more than 50 million websites, about half of which are hosted on WordPress.com.

Also, more than 287 million people view more than 2.5 billion pages on WordPress.com each month and, on an average day, WordPress.com users create about 500,000 new posts and 400,000 new comments, according to WordPress’ official stats.

Recently, WordPress competitor Tumblr surpassed 20 million blogs, passing WordPress.com in terms of the number of blogs hosted on the platform.

However, unlike Tumblr, WordPress lets users install and use the platform on their own web host. Due to the simplicity and versatility of the platform, WordPress isn’t only used to power blogs, it can also be used for running various types of personal, business and community websites.

Business Book: Little Bets by Peter Sims

Little Bets describes a set of simple yet often counterintuitive experimental methods to explore and develop new ideas, in work and life…

What is a “little bet”?

Little bets are a way to explore and develop new possibilities. Specifically, a little bet is a low-risk action taken to discover, develop, and test an idea. Chris Rock develops new comedy routines by making little bets with small audiences; Amazon’s CEO Jeff Bezos makes small bets to identify opportunities in new markets like cloud computing. Little bets are at the center of an approach to get to the right idea without getting stymied by perfectionism, risk-aversion, or excessive planning.

How is this approach different from and better than the typical way most people do something new?

We’re taught from an early age to use certain procedures and rules to analyze and solve problems, such as for math or chemistry. There’s an emphasis on minimizing errors and avoiding failure. These skills serve us extremely well when we have enough information to put into a formula or plan. But what happens when we don’t even know what problems we’re trying to solve? In those kinds of situations, engaging in a process of discovery and making little bets complements more linear, procedural thinking.
