I am working on starting up a business. Its really early in the game so I am keeping a journal to document the experience, and also to give myself some accountability.
And I want to document the experience here on steemit for the following reasons: 1) With Blockchain technology, the words will never be lost. 2) It can be shared and 3) Maybe it'll help others or reach some who can help me during this process.
For those that are curious as to what type of business it is... it's a niche retail store. Soon I will post a portion of the business plan and provide a link to it.
If you choose to follow along you'll see what type of niche it is. I'm not hiding it by any means... but like I said it's a niche, which by definition means the type of store wont appeal to most people. I want the focus of this blog to be the journey of entrepreneurship itself.
I have been successfully self-employed for 10 years as a delivery driver, but that's a sole proprietorship with only me, myself and I. This project is by far the biggest I've ever jumped into head first. Complete with 2 business partners and a team of at least a dozen eager supporters. My main business partner and I have no capital, a little spare time and job flexibility, and a ton of passion for the project. We'll see how it goes, wish us luck!
Overall not as much as I would have liked to report but it is what it is. I have a full time job and family so sometimes things can't happen all at once like I'd like them to. But at least some progress is being made!
