First Steps to Starting Your Own Small Business
First Steps to Starting Your Own Small Business
by: Marjorie Geiser

You’ve been dreaming about what it would be like to start your own small business. It has been on your mind since you were in school, and there are times, especially on Monday mornings, that you daydream about it. But, you’re not really sure what it would look like. You don’t have the first clue how to get started, and of course, you’re afraid that you would put your heart and soul into it, only to fail and look like a fool. You barely even talk about it out loud, because you don’t want family and friends to laugh at you.


But, anything is possible! The only limitations we have are the ones we put on ourselves! With planning and learning the steps, and doing your homework, if this is something you really want to do, you can do it, AND succeed greatly at it, too!


I’m not saying it’s easy! Nothing worth having is. I have had to learn a great deal; about myself, about business, about my clients and potential clients. And it never ends, because my interests and passions change with the years. But, how exciting!


When my daughter started kindergarten, I returned to school. It took me five years to get through school, but I had a vision: I wanted to help people become healthy and fit in the privacy of their own homes. After school, I didn’t have that plan fully in place, even in my mind, but after six years of working in a hospital, I was ready. I opened MEG Fitness in June, 1996. It’s been an incredible ride! I’ll never look back at my life with regrets that I didn’t pursue my dream. I really have learned that the only limits are those I impose on myself, too! So, I continue to dream bigger and allow my vision to become more grand. Why not? What’s the worst that can happen?


That’s what you have to ask yourself. If you never try, will you be happier? If you never try, how will you know if you could have done it? Consider some of the well-known names in sports, such as Michael Jordan, the basketball player; he has thrown more MISSED shots than those that have made their mark. What if he had not taken the chance to see what was possible for himself?


Okay, so now you’re ready to take the next step! First, in order to help you focus, I recommend that people start working on their business plan. The Small Business Association has invaluable resources on their website (www.sba.gov). This was the route I took. A year before I quit the hospital, I started working on my business plan. It helped me determine exactly who I was, what I offered, why, who my ideal client was, who my target market was (at that time), who my competition was, where I would offer my services, how I would offer them, and so on. As I coach other health professionals who want this dream, I now use a 3-page business plan for clients who don’t plan to look for outside funding. Regardless of the type of business plan, it will help answer many hard questions for you.


There are resources specific to most specific fields, too, including other professionals who help others get started. Do your research to see who you can contact for support and to ask questions of as you progress. Once you have your business plan in place, it’s not time to celebrate, yet! How are you going to accomplish the goals you have come up with in that plan? You next need a marketing plan. Now, although the marketing plan is also part of a business plan, it’s really just the intro! The marketing plan will become your template, your schedule, and will spell out the actions you will take to make those goals reality. If you use it seriously, it will be your day-to-day guide to making your dreams come true!

Opportunity Home Based Business
Very Easy To Understand!

We have a program for you! We will pay you a 20%
commission for every sale you generate by sending
people to our Healthy Gano Coffee Website. Plus, if
you introduce others to this program we will pay you
a 10% commission on the sales they make!
(1) You: 20% of retail sale paid to you!
(2) People who join under you: 10% of sale paid to you!

Summary:
If you are currently involved in another marketing program
offering Gano Based Coffee Products, take the time to sit
down and add up what you have really made. Compare it
to what you have spent on shipping, advertising, web
hosting, etc. You may be shocked!

We believe you will see with our Unlimited Second Level
10% commission, and the 20% Retail Sale Commission
we pay, the potential for profit here is much greater! We
won't be placing any fancy pie carts or ridiculous stair-
step charts online here. You can plainly see the plan...
Build out your second level as large as you like. Quit
loosing money on having product shipped to you, just so
you can turn around and ship them to your customers.
Stop worrying about making it to the next level. Quit
wasting time on a downline that never produces. When
the program is free, it's a much softer sell to get other
people to join. Stop buying into a pipe dream that will
never happen.

Gano Brand

Start being paid what you are worth! Take time out! We
will handle the shipping and customer service for you...
that's what we have done for the over 25 years! Now it's
your turn to relax. Build your customer base and go
take a vacation! You have absolutely nothing to lose!
