Getting Your Business Started the Right Way

Happy New Year and Welcome to Episode 17!

So many people, especially moms, are intrigued by the idea of working from home. They have great ideas and lots of energy to create their online presence and yet many people fail because they approach working from home or establishing their business in the wrong order.

My guest this week is Stephanie Fish from www.BuckeyeVA.com and she shares her first online experience with owning a candle business. She began with a website but because she had little online experience and no one to teach her how to bring in customers, after one year she shut down her candle business.

For the month of January, we will discuss the right order in which you should approach your online business. Proper planning and preparation will help lead you to success. Michelle will also discuss the importance of the “Ready, Aim, Fire” approach to your business and some mistakes new work at home moms make. She also reveals why hiring a business coach is a great investment.

For Shop Kit Plus clients, listen in to Michelle’s new show at BlogTalkRadio.com This is a monthly show which airs on the first Wednesday of each month at 1pm CST. Send us your questions, call our listener line with questions, or call in live to participate. To listen to the archives, click here.
