The Life of a Business Owner

Start that business

By Amborisha McCrearyPublished 4 years ago 3 min read

Being your own boss isn't easy there are plenty of times that you are going question yourself and your worth. Your going to compare your work to others and wonder if your good enough or if this business thing is right for you. But let me tell you something HONEY HOLD YOUR HEAD UP HIGH and conquer your fears. How many times can you say that you achieved your dreams? Stepped out on faith? Trusted in yourself and put your all into something that you created? Working for the "man" gets tiresome and you hate it each and everyday of your life. You hang on by a thread wondering when is it going to be your time to shine. Why aren't you succeeding in life? You want nice things in life. You wanna ride in the Audi or Telsa, or live in that big $300 thousand dollar dream home. Do you think working for the "man" is going to get you those things you want for you and your family?

I first started working when I was 20 years old started working for someone only making $7.25 back in 2013-2014. I had just had my first child and was living in some apartments that I was happy with at the time but as I got older I realized I wanted more. I want that financial freedom to be able to buy all your bills not half or some. Not to have to see a shut off notice twice a month and having to debate whether to use the money that I had on rent or food. Or let's get real personal having to be on government assistance and getting food stamps and still not having enough food to feed a family of three for the whole month.

I have had so many jobs throughout my life (27 years old) that I'm just not happy my soul was tired of working and being the underdog not spending alot of time with my kids or working like a dog to get the little paycheck and still not enough to do everything that I wanted to do.

So I started making homemade soap and selling it on eBay and selling Palo Santo Sticks as my first business back in 2019 I did pretty straight but then I wanted more because I knew I could make more if I went harder. Then I transition to drop-shipping via eBay and I started seeing these $1,000 checks coming every week that was more money that I made working for a company. My company name that I had originally chose was Bro Natural Bliss Boutique I was new to this whole business thing I didn't know what I was supposed to I was just doing what I felt was right so I got a business license and continued to do what I fell in love with. I enjoyed making things that I had stopped drop-shipping and I started making charm bracelets and beaded bracelets and I love making things and watching customers enjoy and admire my work. I'm always looking for more ways to grow and to achieve my goals.

If you are looking for a reason to start your own business this is your reason today to quit PROCRASTINATING and start that business today is a new day. Don't be scared because life is all about taking a chance you will never know what life has to offer if you don't try.

The moto of my life is keep GOD first and YOLO (You Only Live Once) so do what makes you happy.
