Starting a Business?

I recently invested in a course. Have I finished said course? No 😭😭

I tend to do this a lot. Invest in a course and let it sit in my email. Well this time I’m going to actually apply the things I learned. I got stuck on figuring out a business name 🥲

I’m all about helping people, growth, wealth, and health. So to niche it down is .. well hard because I want to give the real. I’m a regular single mom, working full time rn. Do I think starting a business is going to give me the financial freedom everyone says it will in 2 months? No. But I do think it’s something I’d enjoy doing because it will show my kids that even when things get hard, you don’t have to give up. You can do anything you want to do, no matter how old, how young, with no skills, or all the skills. Anyone can do it.

Anyways sorry for ranting 😭😭

What do yall think of the names?

My name is Khori, sometimes I go by Jahel (my middle name) or should I just leave my name out all together?

... Read moreStarting a business can feel overwhelming, especially for single parents balancing work and family life. The first step is to identify a niche that resonates with your personal interests and values. Investing in self-education, such as courses, is valuable; however, applying that knowledge is crucial for success. Consider brainstorming names that reflect your mission, incorporating keywords like "wealth" and "health" which resonate with your goals. Don’t hesitate to get feedback from friends or communities online. Many have found support in forums like Lemon8, specifically in groups focused on entrepreneurship and parenting. As you contemplate how to present yourself, remember authenticity attracts audiences. Sharing your real moments, inspirations, and struggles will forge deeper connections with your potential customers. This journey won’t be easy, but showing your kids the value of perseverance and adaptability can be a great lesson for them. Financial freedom may take time, but each step forward is progress. Whether you choose to utilize your name or establish a brand persona, keep your audience in mind and engage with them authentically. You’re not alone in this journey, and there’s a community ready to support you!

Advice I would give anyone starting out a craft business ⭐️✨☀️
As someone who has been a full-time artist for the last four years, this is some advice I would give myself or anyone when you’re in that stage of questioning your whole life existence. I’m not going to lie, it will feel very scary. You’ve given up all “knowing” of a future that a job may give you.
