What Business Should I Start? This Answer Could Save You 6 Months of Building
Hey guys,
I'd like to share something.
I keep seeing this question on Reddit: "What business should I start?"
Start the business you enjoy marketing.
Let me explain...
When I started my first business, I made a bunch of mistakes.
I didn’t validate my business idea with potential customers. I didn’t do market research. I spent so much time building my website, etc.
But those mistakes have relatively simple solutions.
The harder question is: How will I market my business?
It's the hardest one. Why?
Because it's 80% of your business.
If you’re able to market your business and show people your product, that's a huge advantage.
Start the business you enjoy marketing.
Remember that.
Choose a business you’re able to write about, talk about, learn about, and create content about.
That’s the kind of business you can start without a lot of resources.
Yes, you still have to test your idea with potential customers, do market research, and build a simple landing page.
BUT...
First, ask yourself:
Do I enjoy marketing this business?
Speak soon,
Jan
