How To Start a Business and What I’m Up To

In this episode I give insight on:

What is the very first things that you should do a a new business owner?

1. Start your business out with what you are passionate about. Pick one thing. Figure out a product you’d like to sell. 
2. Do a bit if research to make sure that it is doable. 
3. Then go to the bank and open a business bank account.
4. Open up a credit card, pay it off monthly, and use it strictly for business. 
5. Google how you can pay taxes and set up a business in your state or country. 
6. Now you are ready to accept money, so you will need a website. I use Shopify for my patterns and Kajabi for my membership and education courses. Use these or find one you like! 

What am I doing now? 

• My goals in 2023 vs 2024. I had a dollar amount goal in 2023, and it was burning me out. It wasn’t fulfilling or making me happy. I talk about what I wanted to change in 2024.
• I share what I am doing now. I needed to slow down and spend more time with family. I am learning I can “unsubscribe” to the “go-go culture”. I learned how to say no and say yes to the things that light me up.
• What does my business look like now? I have a fabric line coming out in June and another one sometime after that. There will be 6 mini patterns released in June that combine to make one big pattern. I am hiring out things I don’t want to do. Recently, I have focused more on my IG and brand…and by doing this, I have also grown my email list. I am thinking of my long tern goals, building a foundation on a good brand and knowledge. I also have some collaborations I am excited about and more!
• I am doing what I want and focusing on what I love and that sparks joy. Great things open up when you are true to what you love!
