START GROWING YOUR OWN CREATIVE PRODUCT-BASED BUSINESS ONLINE WITH TOP RESOURCES & TOOLS OF THE TRADE
Have you been dreaming of custom designing your own physical products and starting your very own product-based online business?
Does that dream feel exciting… yet, impossible & overwhelming?
Well, there’s good reason to give the decision a lot of thought and not to just jump in without knowing some facts first.
FACTS:
Did you know that there are currently between 12 and 24 million online stores? It's constantly growing.
Close to 16-20% of all US retailers now have an online presence.
Right now, 70% of Americans are shopping online.
In 2022 alone, there were a total of 268 million digital buyers in the United States and by 2025, this number is likely to reach 285 million. Their purchases represent about 18% of the global eCommerce.
Sadly, a research project completed by Forbes, Huffington Post, and Marketing Signals, found 90% of all eCommerce (online only) businesses fail within the first 120 days of launch.
These are pretty intimidating statistic, aren't they?
If you have a brand new business, or are thinking of starting one, you probably want to do everything in your power to be among the 10% that find long-term success.
Many entrepreneurs are drawn to online businesses because of the freedom they offer.
We spend most of lives working, and as entrepreneurs we dream of waking up every day knowing we are using our gifts to do meaningful work, work we feel a calling for that impacts others.
“An investment in knowledge will pay the best interest.” Benjamin Franklin
In other words, DON’T LET TECHNOLOGY INTIMIDATE YOU.
With the advancements in modern technology, creating a flexible, laptop lifestyle business is not only possible, it is a sought after dream for many creative business owners.
With so many online business apps and communication tools at your fingertips, these are just some of the resources that allow businesses to successfully operate efficiently with growth strategies in place.
There are resources and tools every product-based business needs.
There are a lot of tips out there telling you how to run an online business, and I encourage you to do as much research as possible to gain the knowledge you will need to be successful.
You see, I have found online success comes to those entrepreneurs that are hungry to learn, eager to jump in, and continuously advancing their knowledge in order to advance their business.
Successful Creative Business Owners are not afraid to do what it takes and they won’t set limitations on their own capabilities.
I’ve worked with many Creatives, Product Designers, and Makers that have said, “Look, I’m creative, so I can’t get involved in the marketing and technical aspects of my business, so I’m going to hire people to do that”.
THAT’S A MISTAKE when you’re first starting out.
You need to know your own business before you start giving responsibly away.
You need to get okay with the unknown and be willing to dive in, so that later on when you’re ready to out-source tasks, say to a VA, you will be able to share your process, and know what is effective for your specific business.
You need to be the person that knows your business best!
By building a strong foundation first and investing your time into learning…and yes, making mistakes along the way, will be your super power in the long run.
As the business owner, KNOWLEDGE IS YOUR STRENGTH, as long as you’re not afraid to implement it and evaluate what does & doesn’t work for your specific online business.
You don’t need to be an expert in every aspect of your business, but you do need to understand what you do & don’t need so that you are making decisions that have a positive impact for long term growth.
There will never be a point in your business that you will know everything. Something new is always coming in this age of fast paced technology & innovation.
So, why not get comfortable being uncomfortable learning the unknown now?
There will always be unknowns and you will learn to navigate through all of them to build the successful business of your dreams- that's why I'm excited to provide you all the resources and tools you need as a product based business owner.
IS YOUR BRAIN OVERFLOWING WITH CREATIVE BUSINESS IDEAS?
As creatives our time is very valuable. We want to spend as much time as possible being the creator and designers of our dream business. But, to start successfully, you need to create a solid product idea to turn your dream into an online business.
I help creatives like you who have all the ideas & want help focusing on the most important things in your physical product based business.
Creative-preneurs find success when they are guided through simple steps & solutions to some of the most challenging business tasks that may otherwise leave them stuck.
I want you to take a moment to say this statement out loud…
I’ve been in your shoes. I escaped my 9-5 (as if!) more like 8am-8pm! I couldn’t wait to start a business of my own. It was a dream of mine for so long.
I started my first online business with very little tech knowledge.
The one thing (more like 3 things) that really made all the difference for me was that I was not afraid of tech, because I was actually very interested in learning everything about it.
As an executive product developer of a very large corporation, for almost 3 decades, my focus was mostly on physical product design, vendor relations, and sales growth. I didn’t have any previous experience with the technical aspects of running an online business.
That leads me to the two other things that made a huge difference in me being comfortable jumping into the unknown online business world of physical product development & sales.
It's simple, I was very confident I could do it!
I had no doubt that I could figure out any challenge that was thrown my way... that’s my 3 decades of executive corporate training kicking in!
PEOPLE WITH GREAT PASSION CAN MAKE WHAT SEEMS THE IMPOSSIBLE HAPPEN!
But what boosted my confidence and comfort level even more contributed to the support of my partner. He is a serial entrepreneur, running multiple physical product based businesses online with a variety of diversified income streams coming in.
I watched him running his business for years as I headed out the door for 12-16 hour works days in corporate America. I envied the flexibility he had within his work day and I also saw how challenging it is to be a solo-preneur in physical products. I learned a lot by working beside him to find solutions to streamline processes for maximum productivity online.
I was intrigued by the entrepreneurial lifestyle and on many occasions I saw how my design skills, strategic structure, and results oriented corporate work ethic would benefit creative entrepreneurs setting out on their own business ventures.
Curiosity is the fuel for discovery, advancement & success.
Try replacing any fear you are feeling with CURIOSITY.
I was curious and I absolutely loved learning how to create an online physical product business. That curiosity kept me motivated when I first started online in 2015!
Remember:
Like most aspiring entrepreneurs, I had no clue where to actually start. Nor did I have a bunch of money laying around to help me make it happen. But, I knew if other people could figure out how to start a business online with little funds, so could I!
It’s so important for you to establish a mindset, and surround yourself with supporters that believe in you and want to see you succeed- and if for any reason you are struggling at the moment to find that in your life, then I am happy to guide you through the process.
Fast forward 3 decades in corporate and over 9 years of online entrepreneurship, and I am living my dream.
