Starting Your Own Business and Keeping It Successful

May 13, 2019 by Guest Contributor

No matter what you do, where you work, and how much experience you have, you’ve probably thought about starting your own business at one point or another. Even though this idea is scary and challenging, it’s still one of the best moves you could be making, and all it takes is some self-confidence and a lot of hard work. The thing that might frighten young entrepreneurs the most is the fact that the majority of new businesses and startups fail after just a year or two, so starting your own business isn’t enough – you need to keep it successful as well. Therefore, here are a few things you need to take into consideration if you want to be successful in the future too.

Come up with a Lucrative Idea

This is probably the first issue you need to deal with. Yes, coming up with a unique business idea is hard, but if you approach this process carefully and give it some thought, you’ll surely be able to find an idea that might work for you. Often copying a proven idea and adding a new spin or targeting it to a new niche is all that is necessary. Look into new niches, think outside the box, search for other fields of interest, and figure out what the customers are looking for, and you’ll have a whole list of ideas you could put into practice.  

Find a Great Name and Visual Identity

If you watch “Shark Tank” you know that business people start new companies every single day, and if you want to be successful, you need to find a way to stand out and be better than your competition. The way to do this is offering great services and products, but also having an amazing business name and visual identity as well. Although picking a business name doesn’t seem like the hardest thing in the world, finding one that’s going to be special and catchy could turn into quite a tiring process, so don’t be afraid to dedicate some time and energy to this decision. Once you do that, you can continue working on your logo, slogans, business cards, and other elements of your visual identity, thus completing your branding process.

Mowing Grass to Earn Green: Things to Consider Before Starting a Lawn Care Business

February 19, 2019 by Tim McMahon

Lawn care can be a profitable entrepreneurial opportunity for those who are willing to work hard and consistently network for more clients. Just like any other kind of business, though, there are a few factors and challenges to consider before heading out to buy equipment. Here are a few things to consider before starting a lawn care business.

Managing Startup Costs

Perhaps the most prohibitive aspect of launching a businesses in this industry is relatively high initial startup costs. It’s possible to start with minimal equipment, but this limits the number and type of projects you can work on. Starting a proper lawn care company requires an arsenal of equipment, including chemicals, tools, and vehicles. This is particularly challenging, as it can take a few years before earnings rise to a significant margin over costs.

Demanding Work Environment

Anyone working in lawn care spends a lot of time outdoors on job sites. Even owners and supervisors are often doing as much physical work as their employees as the company gets off the ground. That’s why you should consider talking to a personal physician to assess your personal fitness and physical health before starting a physically-demanding business. You don’t want to invest in your business only to discover your health won’t allow you to continue with it. But if you enjoy being outdoors a lot this could be a great option for you. [Read more…] about Mowing Grass to Earn Green: Things to Consider Before Starting a Lawn Care Business
