Why You Are Limiting Your Small Business

It's difficult to see the picture when you're in the frame. When you are so focused on your business you don't see what holds it back. Namely you! When all the decisions are based on your knowledge and experience, you are probably working from the same knowledge you always have. This means that unless you are constantly improving yourself (in terms of business) you are likely to fall into the trap many owners do.

What are your decisions based on and who do you go to for help? The problem with owning a business is that there is very little help available in your immediate circle for most people. Unless you are surrounded by other entrepreneurs, it's more than likely that you look to help for people who are fall less qualified than you.

The Self Fulfilling Loop

The ability to work in your business and work on your business are two very separate things. You may be the best at working very hard, doing long hours and motivating your staff, if you have any. But this doesn't translate to growing your business. Growing your business is something different. It takes a whole new skill set.

If you're stuck in the process of being a 'worker' in your business, you're not moving your business forwards. You must step out of the roles which worked when you were an employee. Things which make a good employee are: turning up on time, working hard, delivering to deadlines and thinking of ways to achieve the maximum output for your boss.

Things which make a good business owner are entirely different. Knowing how to grow your business is about marketing. You need a whole new skill set and new ways of thinking in order to do this.

The Skill Set Of Online Marketing

Online marketing is vital to grow your business. Whatever kind of business you have, you need some kind of marketing engine driving it forwards. With new technology comes a new type of marketing. Before the internet there was traditional advertising: yellow pages, newspapers, flyers, billboards, television and radio.

Online marketing is a fantastic opportunity for business owners. But with it comes a few problems. The main one is not just learning the skills to create online advertising, but rather our mindset, or more importantly our industrial age thinking.

Industrial Age Thinking

We have been brought up with a lot of baggage. Our minds hold ideas which our forefathers embodied in their lives. Many of us are limited by old thinking patterns which no longer serve us. This is true in many areas of our lives but none so much as with growing a business using online marketing.

A poverty mindset always thinks of reasons to cut back and avoid spending. It is based on a presupposition that 'there is never enough' - a self fulfilling prophecy! Of course this is often well founded based on the past. But as a business owner this can be your biggest limiting factor to forward growth.

If our very thinking is based on our past and what it has taught us in terms of our income, we hold back and tend to be careful with our money. This is for good reason of course. But with online marketing your long term plan should be to be spending more and more on advertising, not less and less. This is a major roadblock to business growth.

Gently Does It

I'm not saying you should spend all your cash on an online advert, just to see how it goes. Far from it. You can start an online advertising campaign for very little daily expenditure. Set your budget as low as you like. That's one of the benefits of online advertising. One of the other major benefits is the ability to test and measure each of your adverts.
By testing and measuring the response of your adverts, you can determine, very accurately, how effective they are in making you a profit. However this should be based on your return on investment, not instant return. Think about the worth of a customer over the years of your business. How much is a customer worth? Not a sale, but a customer?
Looking at the long term benefit of a happy customer who buys from you again and again can give you a different perspective on your advertising costs. Write down a number which reflects the cash value of a long term, loyal customer. Now match that against what you were prepared to spend on your advertising.

Testing and Measuring - The Power Of Pay Per Click

Pay per click advertising is an amazing form of advertising and available to any business owner. However, I recently spoke to a business owner who claimed it was a waste of money, despite other people in his business niche using it. Perhaps, he thought that they were about to discover what he already "knew"!

Most people start an advertising campaign on pay per click, lose money and decide it doesn't work. But this is a mistake. The real power lies in the ability to test and measure your paid advertising. There are many variables with pay per click. You can target people very specifically by their keywords using Google AdWords advertising. You can also target by location - which is ideal for a local business. By testing and measuring the responses of different target audiences, with varying keywords, landing pages and advert content, you can eventually determine the most profitable advert for your business.

Once you have discovered a way to spend half of what you stand to get back, you are in a very strong position to increase your daily expenditure and scale up. This is how to grow your business. By adding other paid advertising methods to your growing 'portfolio' and testing and measuring each one over time for maximum efficiency, you can scale up your business for maximum growth.
Depending on your business model, it is also possible to lose money initially on advertising, and make it back over the long term for the customers you have literally "bought".

Fear, Greed and Panic

Obviously you should be careful enough to test and measure advertising before scaling your budget up. Paid advertising can consume your capital as fast as you allow it to! Be very careful in the early stages to test and measure every aspect of your advertising. Don't scale too quickly but also you can't be afraid to spend money first.

Only spend money you are prepared to lose initially. You might lose money in the short term. But the long term gain of having a profitable advertising campaign which can be left running is worth the initial loss. The main job is testing and measuring until you have a campaign which is profitable. After this there is very little to do. Simply leave your campaign running at a comfortable cost and slowly increase it over time.

Equally don't just run a campaign, get a profitable result, and then panic and turn it off. Your business will just fall back to your comfort levels again. Look for the long term, keep testing and measuring and expect to pay out first before you see a return.

Right Now Is the Best Time To Become Your Own Boss

There has never been a better time to live the self-employed life. Jacob Morgan, co-founder and principal of Chess Media Group and author of The Future of Work (2014), researches how market trends, demographics, political imperatives and advances in technology will likely impact the global workforce over the coming years and his findings indicate that self-employment has significant momentum."The picture for freelancers is very good. It's going to be a huge area going forward."
Morgan points out what most traditionally and independently employed workers have learned over the past two decades: the steady paycheck is going the way of the dinosaurs. Those who are now age 50 years or above started a career and expected to work steadily and at increasing pay for 25 or 30 years and then collect a pension as a reward for their contributions. Employment at one company was considered an accomplishment and job-hopping was seen as disloyalty, if not instability.

Morgan's research shows that now, the average worker is employed at a place of business for about five years and Millennial Generation workers last an average of three years. "Nowadays, when a company is struggling, the first thing it tends to do is cut jobs."

Because freelance Solopreneur service providers typically have a list of active clients, we are somewhat insulated from the whims of business owners. We win some projects and lose others, but we will not be laid off and abruptly lose all income. Our revenue-generating billable hours are sometimes less than ideal; however, finding project work is much easier than finding traditional employment that pays a living wage, especially when the job seeker is age 50 years or older.
Self-employment allows more opportunities to create money-making options for yourself. The flip side of the uncertainty inherent in self-employment is that becoming your own boss could earn you a great deal of money. Traditional employment comes with income caps and many employees have been disappointed to learn that generous merit increases, bonuses and sales commissions are harder than ever to come by. Government statistics for the past 20 years have shown that middle class wages have become stagnant.

As companies shed permanent workers, the demand for project-specific professional help continues to rise and for freelancing Solopreneurs, that is a good thing. Much depends upon one's skill set and the local economy, but the next three years and most likely more than that, look promising. Deciding which of your competencies are the most marketable and discovering how to connect with available projects forms the heart of the freelance Solopreneur business model.

In 2010, Intuit predicted that by 2020, the independently employed workforce in the U.S. would rise to 60 million. There are now numerous associations, such as the Freelancer's Union https://www.freelancersunion.org, that offer professional resources and other support to Solopreneurs, including affordable medical and dental insurance. Co-working spaces are available to those who need modestly priced per diem meeting space or shared office space for those who would like to interact with a cohort of like-minded Solopreneur professionals.

Morgan recommends that those who have full-time employment consider taking on freelance work as an experiment. "Now is an excellent time to do it, but I would do it in a smart way... do a little moonlighting and see how it goes. If it goes well, devote more effort to it. If not, you'll have learned it's not for you."

How To Start A Sportswear Brand

The Complete Guide To Starting A Sportswear Brand 
 
Do you want to start up a sportswear brand? Do you have some great design ideas or a cool new apparel concept? Can't you find the styles you are looking for? The time could be now for you to start up that brand you have been thinking of. But where do you start? How do you go about to make it all happen?

If you want to set up your own clothing brand, then this article is for you. We'll give you an overview of the steps involved in starting your own business, and information that you have to think about.

Starting Up

Step 1. Idea & Customer Need. 

It all starts with an idea. Maybe you can't find the clothes you are looking for, or you have a strong design opinion that you want to show the world. You are better off if you can connect your idea to a customer need. If you strongly believe in your idea, you should go ahead and make it happen.

Step 2. Market Scan. 

You have a great idea for sure. The question is: is it unique? Perform a thorough market scan. Search the web, visit shops and read relevant magazines. You want your brand to stand out in the competition and find your target niche. If some other brand already has your idea, you will always be number two.

Step 3. Business Plan. 

It can be great to have a business plan if you want to bring other people on board, e.g. investors or partners. But primarily, the business plan is there for you. It forces you to ask yourself those tough questions and look at your business venture from different angles. The business plan is a living document that will change and evolve over time, usually things don't go exactly according to the initial picture in your head.

Step 4. Branding. 

Put a lot of time and thought into your brand identity. There are many brands out there so you need to make yours stands out. Create brand awareness and loyalty that connects your customers to your label. It is important that your brand ties together with your actual products.

Step 5. Money.

Nothing is free. Nor to create a sportswear brand. In your business plan you have made an initial budget and you have an estimate of how much it will cost you to set it up. How will you finance it? Can family or friends help you? There are special start-up loans as well as investors to turn to. Going to an investor early on means giving away more of your company. But maybe that's the best way to get it started and make your dream a reality?

Step 6. Entrepreneurship. 

Running your own business isn't a 9 to 5 job. It is not the hours you spend in the office that matters. What matters is what you produce. You are your own boss and you need to make it all happen. You will live and breathe your brand, working 24/7. All people have great ideas. The differentiator is that the entrepreneur makes them happen. It will require you to put in the work and follow through on your dream. Are you cut out for this or not? Is it really what you want?

Step 7. Team. 

As mentioned in step 6, setting up your brand will require a lot of blood, sweat and tears. Can you do it all by yourself? Even if you can, is that the most efficient way to do it? Make sure to liaise yourself with talented and driven people that can help you out where you fall short. If you are a designer find a good business partner, and if you are a business person find a good designer. No one can do it all and you shouldn't either.

Step 8. Define The Collection. 
 
Leaving the start-up phase behind you, it's now time to start the product development, the process of making your garments. The first step here is to define your collection. Focus on your brand identity, your vision, and the products you wish to create. Make sure your collection is clear and has cohesion.

Step 9. Design. 

You have structured and defined your collection and the designer can start sketching. Get back to the inspiration and the brand image, and the customer you want to have. The styles should fit in with the vision and identity of your brand. The designer needs to make great tech packs so you can carry on with your product development.

Step 10. Sourcing. 

Sourcing means finding factories, materials, and accessories. Materials is a science by itself. If you know your price points, performance requirement, and quality level, it will help you narrow down your search for the right materials. Accessories can be cords, zippers, pullers etc that you want to include in your garments. Then you need to find a factory that suits your needs, can produce your styles, and believe in your concept.

Step 11. Pricing. 

In the start-up phase you had a first look at the costs and the prices for your styles and production. Now when the collection is defined, you have sourced materials and found factories, and hence production costs, you need to check your pricing again. Does it add up? Will it be profitable? Review all the posts in your budget and see how you can recalibrate it. In the end you want to live and work, doing what you love. You don't want it to be an expensive hoppy that you poor money into.

Step 12. Pattern & Prototype. 

This is a very crucial part. Even though you have great designs on paper, you need to transform them into garments that look and feel the way you want. Based on the tech packs you need to find a good pattern maker, which isn't easy. The pattern is made in your wanted sample size and will later be graded to fit several sizes. With the pattern you will start making your prototypes. In between every prototype you will measure, fit, and adjust the pattern to improve your garment. Typically you will need 2-3 prototypes per style before you have a sample ready to show/sell.

Step 13. Production. 
 
Once you have arrived at your final prototype (sales man sample), you can start planning the bulk production. Discuss this with your factory as early as you can. They need to plan in your production in their schedule. They of course need to know how big your production will be, the number or styles and sizes per style. We suggest you write an agreement with the manufacturer stating delivery times and quality requirements.

Step 14. Shipping. 
 
You have the bulk production ready and need to get your fantastic garments to your customers. Depending on your sales strategy you can have one or more customers. There can be shops, end-users, and wholesalers. Take a look at your logistics, negotiate with transportation partners, and plan how you will repackage the goods to suit your designated customer.

Step 15. Marketing. 
 
Let the world know your brand's story. Marketing is your products, your meetings, your communication, and everything you do in you business. Be honest in everything you do, let the customers understand why you do it, and what your brand is about. You want to get your message out. Tell the world about your products and what differentiates them from the competitors.

Step 16. Sales. 
 
It doesn't matter if you have the best products in the world with the best story, if no-one buys them. In the end it all comes down to sales. You want your garments to sell, so you can reinvest and develop your collection and keep doing what you love. If you work with retailers, the traditional way is to show at trade fair and to take your collection in garment bags and visit the shops. This way you end up having multiple mini presentations and demonstrations of your awesome collection. Not all buyer are open to new things, so don't get discouraged when it gets tough. Believe in your brand and keep going.

Step 17. Order. 

The manufacturer usually has minimum quantity requirements for producing your garment. This should at least be your selling target. Sell, sell, sell, and collect your orders to meet those minimums. At the same time, keep track of your minimum requirements for materials. How much fabrics are on each roll that you buy? You don't want to buy too much fabric that in the end turns into left over. A good recommendation is to only produce the garments you have orders on. Don't stock up, unless you have an online business, and therefor need your own stock.

Step 18. Customer Service. 

Take care of your customers. You make your garments so that your customers can have them for their intended need. Don't disappoint them, put yourself in their shoes and just see how you can help them. How will you handle complaints, returns, delays? Talk to your customers, put your ego aside, and use the information to make even better products in the future.

Being Your Own Boss: 5 Benefits To Being Your Own Boss

Having an employer is nice and there are plenty of benefits to that. However, being your own boss is awesome and there are hundreds of benefits to it! I'm going to go over 5 of those benefits within this article, explaining why so many people strive to see a day where they are their own boss, calling the shots and sending the money around. Being your own boss, however, is certainly not for everyone! Be sure to figure out what you want to do in life before jumping right into something.

1. Massive Progression - I, personally, have no interest in doing something for the rest of my life without a wide room of growth and promotion. If I am going to be employed, I want to have the ability to be the Chief Financial Officer in a few years. When you are your own boss, you can do exactly that starting with Day One.

2. Full Control - When you are your own boss, you call the shots! Deadlines, of course, do still exist! However, if you don't want to complete those deadlines, you technically don't have to. There is absolutely nobody to tell you what to do or how to do it. You could take an entire week of work off and not have to stress about it. However, if you are wanting to be successful and make a good income from being your own boss, you'll need to take the bull by the horns and get some quality work done!

3. Flexibility - Does working a basic 9 to 5 not for work you? I don't blame you! Being your own boss allows you to make your own schedule. If working first shift on Monday and third shift on Tuesday works for you, so be it! If you'll be starting your first shift work-day two hours late, who cares? You have the ability and power to make a decision wisely in regards to your own schedule and how you get things done!

4. Enjoyment - In a world of debts and bills, we can't accept not having a job. Therefore, sometimes we accept a job that we don't want to do. We may even accept a job in which we downright hate! With being your own boss, you are able to choose what you do and that means you will be able to do something you actually enjoy! You are able to do something you wake up every morning ready and excited to do! You are able to go into work with a smile on your face, money in your wallet, and ready to make it happen!

5. Big Bucks! - If you are your own boss or wanting to be your own boss, you likely want a work environment with freedom or you want the "big bucks"! Being employed provides you with a "safe" income, however, the income isn't really that safe when you could get fired at any moment. Being your own boss allows you to be more risky, which means you have the potential to make a huge amount of money in a little amount of time. The amount of money you earn, is entirely up to you.
Being your own boss doesn't have to remain a dream! You can get this done and be successful, anybody can! It all is going to depend on what you want and how badly you want it. If you want to enjoy any of the benefits listed above, understand that it will require work, you will have to deal with the daily problems every boss to ever exist has gone through! Take a look at the rewards and make sure being your own boss is something you are able to do or even want to do!

Become Your Own Boss - Here Are 3 Pieces Of Advice To Live And Die By

If you would like to start your own business but do not know where to begin, you are very lucky today. I will share with you some vital tips to help you get on the right track towards success. These tips can help you get started on your journey to get out of the rat race, join the new wealth club, and create a new future for yourself. In fact, given the new times we live, most people are figuring out that the "jobs" are a thing of the past. The internet gives people like you and me leverage. People who have mastered the art of marketing via internet are now the world's new and improved entrepreneurs.

Here Are The Three Tips

Tip #1

Hold Yourself Accountable:

If you are unhappy with your current circumstance, you must take the time and admit that you are the only one that can change it. You must admit to yourself that you are the issue. It does not do you any good to blame the economy or presidents, boss at work, or any member of your family. Change will only happen when you make the ultimate decision to make it happen.

Tip #2

Identify yourself

You must give yourself permission to explore. You have to be aware of your strengths and weaknesses. You must understand your personality, age, and social style. In addition, you must listen to the little voice inside your head. As people, we often ignore our intuition although deep down in our spirit we know the truth.

You should ask yourself this:

What gives me energy even when I am tired?

What product or service would I be most interested in bringing to the market?

What opportunity will stand the test of time? Will that particular market disappear in the next 15 years?

Tip #3

When you plan, you give yourself a better chance to experience success

Unfortunately, most people do not plan. They react of off emotion and jump straight into the opportunity. If you put together a business plan, you will gain some clarity, some focus, and some confidence. A plan does not have to be perfect or it does not have to be more than one page.

Some questions to ask yourself are:

What type of company will I build?

Who will I be serving?

What are my strategies and objectives that I must put into place in order to reach my goals?

Become Your Own Boss - Avoid These Common Piitfalls

Entrepreneurs all over the world always run into the marketplace with hopes and dreams of success. However most of them fall flat on their face because they run into common pitfalls. I am happy to share with you today some common pitfalls to avoid if you want to achieve success in the business world. Unfortunately, there are 470,000 businesses that close every year and there are 400,000 that open every year, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. As you can see, more businesses are being closed down as opposed to the amount starting up. To be fair, not all business exits are bad, sometimes the owner retires or gets another job.

#1 Empty Pockets

I believe the number one reason why businesses fail is because the owner does not put enough money into the start-up.

#2 Overconfidence

More times than not, sometimes owner get to full of themselves and start ignoring critics. I am not here to say that sometimes they can be right. As a business owner, you will have to humble yourself sometimes and absorb constructive criticism from your critics.

#3 Poor Price Point

The customer is not always right. Although the consumer controls the market, sometimes what they are willing to pay for the product or service does not sync with reality. You will have to test different price points to get a certain overview on what price your market is willing to pay.

#4 communication issues

As an owner, you will have to make sure that you hold communication as a priority in your brand. You must make sure that your employees and clients remain comfortable with talking to you about any issue.

#5 A stale market

Huge employers know that it is crucial to refresh their brand every 12-15 years. The reason for this, in my opinion, is because sometimes people can get bored of what you have to offer. When the market feels like they know everything about you,in my opinion, they lose interest. You must constantly find ways to re-brand and restructure your business to always keep your market on their feet.

If you want to see success in anything in life you must educate yourself on the industry you want to be affiliated with. It will not be easy but if you avoid these tips that I have shared with you, you will absolutely see success. Luckily for you, you can leverage the internet to help you determine the best opportunities to get into.

6 Reasons Why You Should Be Your Own Boss In Business

"There is only one success, to be able to spend your life in your own way. - Christopher Marley."

Becoming your own boss means that you create your own business. You are going to have to take responsibility for your business and you have to be willing to take risks. That said, here are 6 reasons why you should be your own boss.

You pursue a purpose - Being your own boss means that you are able to decide what you want to do with your career and your life. If you were working for someone else, you are working for their purpose, which you may or may not agree with. However being self-employed will give you the opportunity to create a unique purpose that will contribute to other peoples' lives.

You are passionate - Creating your own business means that you can use your interests and passions to your advantage. You will be able to build a business that resonates with the things that excite you and give you passion. You will wake up every day feeling excited to work because you enjoy it.

You create freedom and flexibility - Working for yourself will mean that you can choose the times in which you work, creating a flexible lifestyle. You can spend more time with friends and family. Depending on the type of business you own, such as an Internet Business, you are also able to work from different locations, giving you the ability to travel while you work.

You control your finances - Being employed for someone else means that you are given a pay check that may or may not satisfy you. Being self-employed means that you have the power to control how much you earn. It will certainly be a struggle at first when building your own business to earn a good income. However as time passes and you commit to your business, the financial benefits can be very satisfactory.

You are in charge - There is no one to tell you how to run your business. You make decisions, you manage employees and you take the responsibility. Imagine working for someone else your whole life, where they tell you what to do and how to do it. Being your own boss allows you to do things the way you like to do them.

You grow as a person - Building your own business will build your character over the years. Your self-esteem will develop due to the confidence of managing your own business. Your legacy will develop as you make a difference in the world and change people's lives. You will grow in many ways that you couldn't of if you were working for someone else.

Finally, becoming your own boss is not for everyone. Some people do not want to deal with the commitment and persistence involved in creating their own business. They would much rather prefer to choose the easy option and work for someone else.

"Entrepreneurship is living a few years of your life like most people won't, so you can spend the rest of your life like most people can't."

5 Attitudes You Should Have When Starting Your Own Business!

Not every entrepreneur is the same. Some are born rich, some have university degrees, while others have none of these. Having a lot of money and a degree is not a requirement to be a successful business owner though. There are those who are not so wealthy and do not very impressive educational backgrounds that have succeeded as well. It's just a matter of having these five characteristics. Make sure you develop these when starting your online business.

1. Thinks Clearly

You need a clear mind so you can absorb information about many different home business ideas. Learning as much as you can is a very important aspect of starting your own business. More so, you should avoid having a worry-filled mindset. If you always think about what can go wrong, then you can't sleep well at night, and you can't think clearly. Worrying too much will greatly affect your efficiency in managing your business.

2. Communicates Effectively

As a business owner, you should have good communication skills. You should be able to share your ideas to your clients and employees in ways that they will easily understand. Otherwise, how can you convince people to buy your products or to support your small business? If you can't communicate well, you will miss a lot of opportunities to turn your online business ideas into reality. Business owners need to talk to people often. It's part of their job to get clients, business partners, and many other activities that will help to grow the business. Thus, you really have to be a good communicator to succeed.

3. Pushes Himself / Herself

You can't just rely on others to push you forward. Most of the time, you have to motivate yourself to keep going on the path towards success. Your friends and family are not always there, and more often than not, they'll be less dependable when you're facing challenges with your business. There could even be a few times where you're all alone. Not everyone shares your vision and wants to realise your dream as much as you do. With that in mind, you should be able to keep pushing yourself forward without needing help from others.

4. Performs Consistently

Making your business take the "number 1" spot is hard, and keeping it on top is even harder. For this reason, consistency is your friend. If you are unwavering in carrying out your plans to grow your business, then you'll most likely stay on that top spot for long. It doesn't mean that because you're now number one that you should slack off and give up. That's not how business works. Anytime, someone else can dethrone you from the top rank. You should be committed to continue working hard for your business.

5. Really Wants to Succeed

Undeniably, the best way to succeed is still through passion. Having that burning desire to succeed in your home based business is a powerful thing that will drive you towards your goal of success. It doesn't matter how many times you fail; you can always get up and move on. Keep your eyes on the prize and keep pressing on. Don't be afraid about what others will tell you, and don't mind them if they ridicule you. Just focus on your business, your vision for it, and what you want to achieve out of it!

If you have these five characteristics, then you are well on your way to be a smashing success! Your efforts will surely pay off soon. Keep the dream alive, and keep on going with your online business!
