I love research. LOVE it. I’m really good at finding the “best” way to do almost anything. Pros and cons of different website hosts? Check. Optimal CRM software? Understood. Steps for building a successful resume, at the request of a colleague? Researched and written.
But I have to admit, I find that I sometimes use research to keep me in a safe place, rather than putting myself out there and risking failure. If this sounds familiar to you, then you may be in the same place I found myself: more time on work planning than actually working.
I have listened to *so many* podcasts and read *so many* books and articles on freelancing, writing, editing, business management, website design, and on and on. I could probably host my own podcast, after absorbing so much detail! Instead, here is where I am starting: a series of posts about building my small business from zero to $100K. Right now, I’m much (much!) closer to the zero end of that scale. That’s okay! We have to start somewhere.
I have years of writing and editing experience, a solid background in sales and service, and a strong eye for detail. I have used several CRM and project management tools for different client work. Programs including Salesforce, Basecamp, Dubsado, Canva, Audacity, and WordPress. Coursework from several top-of-their-field freelancers and marketers–I have the knowledge and skills I need to take my business to the next step.
Will you please follow along as I grow this business? Learn from my successes and failures, trial and error, and cheer me on as I build this successful business while working full time in another! I will document this process weekly, so watch this space. Cheers!
