Starting A Business In Your Hometown

So you’ve decided to start your own business in your hometown. Great! That’s a move in the right direction. You’ll have time and financial freedom in little or no time at all. Right? Well, let’s re-think this thing.

Exactly how much time will it take to achieve that freedom you seek? Well, that all depends on how much you’re willing to invest upfront. From the day you began to dream of your goldmine, to the day it takes you to actually DO something tangible to implement your dream…How Long Did THAT take?

Once you make up in your mind that you’re going to start a business in your hometown, and once you get a bright idea that’s going to make you money, you should implement the first step immediately. If you sit and think about it for weeks or months, you will undoubtedly come up with many reasons “it won’t work.” Time fuels doubt.

So don’t delay. Now that you have the idea burning in your heart, Start working on it NOW.

First step: Choose something that YOU are truly interested in. What excites You? What makes YOUR bells ring? Do a Google search for it. Type in the keyword for your idea and look at the Search Results, including the name of your hometown. Are there a lot of others in your hometown searching for the same thing? If so, you may have a “winner.”

Next step: Research your target market. Who needs this great idea? How will it solve their problem or problems? How will it make their lives better? You’ll want to start a business in your hometown that will enhance the lives of others.

As you come up with answers to these questions, you are actually and factually coming up with a marketing campaign. The answers to these questions will be the slogan or motto of your company or product. You are familiar with your own hometown. So use this familiarity to create a slogan or ad campaign tailored specifically for your product or business that will peak the interest of the people of your hometown.

Decide how much time you will invest in your business Each and Every Day. Do something that will lead to the start and advancement of your business.

Decide how much money you have to invest. Start a special savings account, and put $1 or more into it every week. If you invest $1 the first week, try to invest $2 the second week, then $3 the third week, and so on. This will soon add up to a nice savings account that you can re-invest in advertising that you are starting a business in your hometown.

Remember: A business with no sign is a sign of no business. So advertise, advertise, advertise.  Make sure you are targeting a specific group, not everybody in the town. Solve some problem for your target group, and watch the profits roll in!
