If this business taught me one thing is patience, why? Because what I figured out due to my experience in raising this business is that the business is like a baby. You need to take care of it, raise it and be patient while you are growing it so that you can have lasting results. So my friend, be patient, don’t be in a hurry, don’t give up, just keep your eyes on the goal and you will achieve it!

Concentrate on action. Even a small action is better than no action at all. Do not compare your steps to any other business. Be consistent.

Take your time to make a detailed business plan, narrow down your niche. The more specific you are the better. If you can afford it, work with a business coach, join similar groups or communities for support.

You don’t have to wait until you have everything in place to get started. There are many components that will naturally build on their own, and you will always be tweaking based on ongoing learning anyway.

Do it but only do what makes your heart really smile. Because it won’t be easy so make sure you’re doing something that makes peace within you even in challenging times.
Take your time to plan things out. Become an expert at managing your time and finances. Surround yourself with like-minded people, who are going to elevate your experience to create a better version of yourself, with whom you share similar psychology, goals and dreams. Outdream yourself and take risks.

Don’t let the competition scare you, don’t shy away in the face of challenges and there will be lots of challenges. Just remember everything is figure -outable as long as you are fully invested in your business.
It takes a lot of hard work and thick skin. You just have to hang on and learn from your failures and turn them into successes.

Make sure it’s what you love! Don’t open a business because you think it will make a lot of money. If you don’t love what you do you won’t get far.

Keep going, don’t give up. It may seem hard but always believe in yourself. Someone will notice you and will want to buy what you’re making especially for a good cause.

Be okay with not doing a good job. Don’t do something to be good at it, do it to be better.
