I REALLY want to start this business idea of mine. Not so much for me, but I want to be able to take the profits from this little biz and put them into projects for people I know... I have a friend with a soup ministry and I made her soup jars because people kept taking her plastic tubs - now everyone returns her jars because the jar top says "Return to the Joy Soup Mission". I wish I just had the money to do the stuff for them - but I don't - so I figure this way I can earn the money to put into these projects... Regardless, I'm so afraid that I'm going to fail. I have started my business plan and I'm making a list of my products and I'm working on prototypes. My husband is completely on board and I have my required 3 months rent for the shop in the bank already, plus an additional 6 months saved. I also have enough saved for any more supplies that I might need in the 1st 3 months because I don't want to finance anything. I really should take a picture of this room because ya'll would just roll on the floor - there isn't a single piece of carpet visible - stuff is literally everywhere. I feel that I'm being led to do this, I just need some encouragement and hand holding to really make me believe that I'm capable. From a business standpoint I think I have made sound decisions, now its time to just show what I'm made of - and I am apparently chicken!

My mom had a saying ( she had a saying for everything :)) "There is no failure but the failure to try." Mom was usually right. So go do good things. You are more than ready. Have faith in yourself.
1106Believe in yourself. Get it out of your head that you may fail. You can do this!

67271I was told if you don't have a plan, you plan to fail. Sounds like to me you have a GREAT plan, but, good idea asking for others input. if you have an idea and I have an idea, if we swap, we both have 2 ideas. Just continue to pray for guidance. Don't be afraid just go for it. FEAR means "False Evidence Appearing Real. You are a woman, you are already strong! Keep us informed! I am anxious to hear how things are coming along and how you do. Also, if you don't take that step, you will always wish you had! You are an inspiration to us all! YOU GO GIRL!!!!
1795Good Luck, you seen to have everything under control
14513I don't think you need any tips - I think you should just get started into whatever your business is - go for it - you will know if it works - if it doesn't - you at least attempted it and it was for a good cause.
