Time

Running your own business isn’t a task that you quickly check off your list and say you’re done. It’s a commitment that requires your full attention and dedication. You’re going to haveto clear your schedule and put your complete focus on managing an operation. The business and people will depend on you for answers and solutions. You have to be willing to give up other activities to attend to your business and not complain about it.Before you begin tackling your dream, make sure you have the time and patience to be your own boss. 

Money

Opening a new business is an investment. You’re going to need the money to get it going and run it smoothly once you’re up and operating. Start by applying for a small business loan with betterfunds.com. They focus on fast funding, finding the lowest rates and offering one simple and fast application. They can deliver a decision in minutes so you can get back to work. Typically, they only require basic information about yourself and your business. You’re in good hands and you get the answers you need in a timely manner. This seamless process allows you the opportunity to focus on other important tasks. 

Employees

Think about how many people you’re going to need to hire and pay to run your business. Consider a timeline for hiring employees and the various job responsibilities they’ll have atyour business. You’ll need a process for onboarding the right candidates and places for them to sit and work. Come up with a hierarchy for reporting and decide how you’ll evaluate your employee’s performance. It’s good to think about how many people you’ll have joining you at the beginning and your aspirations for growing the company. 

Customers

Customers aren’t going to just appear at your doorstep. You’re going to have to work for them. Prepare to dedicate resources to coming up with a marketing plan and reaching your target audience. You’re also going to want to meet with people in public and introduce yourself to the small business community. Work on getting your brand out there, so potential clients recognize who you are when they encounter your business. 

Conclusion

Starting your own shop is exciting and stressful all at the same time. Going for it means you’re willing to give up other aspects of your life to succeed. These are four important considerations before opening your own business.

Last week we tried out the fizzing sidewalk chalk- click here to read that review. This week it is liquid chalk spray.  They are a bit similar but yet different.  Here is how to make it: Supplies: 1 tsp. washable tempura paint 1 cup of hot water 1/2 cup of cornstarch squirt of dishwashing liquid 1 squirt bottle- I found them at the dollar store 1.  Add cornstarch to one cup of hot water whisking to mix so that there are no clumps. 2.  Add one teaspoon of washable tempura paint and a quirt of dishwashing liquid.  Mix well. 3.  Pour it into your squirt bottles and shake well. 4.  Go have fun!!!   This kept my daughters attention much longer the the fizzy chalk last week.  I also think this was easier to work with and just more fun in general.  I love seeing the chalk wet but then to see it dry.  I think it dried darker so it was fun to see the changes.  :)  Ready, Set, Go!  Have some fun!

Toddler Rainbow Craft for St. Patricks Day

St. Patrick's day is March 17th so its approaching quickly.  I have a few ideas on art and food projects that i want to do with the kiddos.  Hopefully I will have enough time to complete them and share them with you.   This was a super easy one for those little hands.  I cut the stripes of colored paper but if you are working with a preschooler or school aged child then they can practice cutting.  The two toddler boys here only had to glue the pieces on their piece of paper.  EASY, but they enjoyed it!  :)  It sure has brightened my kitchen with them hanging on the fridge!  :)   I also talked more about the Promise God gave us with the rainbow since I know that history a whole lot better then the history of the Irish Holiday!
