5 Lessons I Have Learned from Owning a Small Business

11/30/2019

HELLO FRIENDS! Today is a very special day. It is Small Business Saturday!! I have always seen this on Instagram, and people being so supportive of these small businesses. I have always wanted to own a little business. I never expected God to bring my dream to reality as soon as he did. I was thinking that I would be out of school completely, but here I am a freshman in college. It be like that sometimes though. Also BIG ANNOUNCEMENT at the END of the post!

Owning a small business is very hard though. These are some things that people don’t usually tell you when starting a business:

  1. Make sure you plan out EVERYTHING before you go live. If you don’t then you may run into some problems. If you have a problem with an order, make sure you have a plan on how to handle those situations.
  2. You will not get a lot of business when you first start. This is just the reality of life. I get orders at least once a month, and it can be very disheartening. I love what I do, and it is hard when people don’t see what I see. I am so excited for the day when I get a bunch of orders, and I can put a little bit of happiness into someone’s life.
  3. Sometimes you will feel like giving up. I have felt like giving up so much, but God has reminded me that this business is a thing for a reason. 
  4. You will have to make time for what you love to do. I have struggled with this one lately because finals are coming up, and I’m getting busier by the day. I am learning that I have to plan out my days by the minute in order for me to do the things I need to do. I am definitely improving my planning skills.
  5. Consistency is truly key! I am THE WORST at being consistent. It is a battle that I have been fighting for years, and I think I am slowly but surely winning it. Pushing your business is something that I have struggled to do, obviously, but it is something I am learning. 
Here are the five lessons that I have learned/am learning. I love my job, and I love what I do. I am so happy that God has blessed me with the opportunity to make things I am proud of.

Now in honor of Small Business Saturday and the fact that Christmas is just around the corner, I am very pleased to announce that WE HAVE BUNDLES!!!! These are GREAT stocking stuffers/ Christmas gifts. You can order by going to the merch tab up above! 

That’s it for me! Don’t forget to follow me on Instagram @noelle_janae.
