New Business Endeavour for me

minks · Post by **minks** » Sat Jun 21, 2008 9:41 am

Holy cow batman I dunno what I have got myself into.... my nerves are tighter than those of a cat stuck in the toilet... yoiks!!

I have had the pleasure of being asked to join 2 other co-workers in a new business venture. We will be taking on a small niche market that is in dire need of a quality product.

I dont' want to put much info out there because this so far is a very covert operation and I do not believe the internet is so vast ahahahaha And do not want to jeaopardize any of us 3's current jobs.

One of us has the knowledge and experience to manufacture a superior product, has past client contacts (good solid contacts), 2 of us have great supplier contacts and awesome purchasing skills, 1 of us has unlimited knowledge of product delivery, 1 of us has outstanding admin skills, 1 of us has superior financial backing, and all 3 of us have over the top knowledge of this field.

Crikey guys this could be the coolest, biggest thing I have ever attempted in my life WOW!

I have never experienced start up before and it's a bit daunting and we are in the very infant stages but our plan is coming together.

I was so darn shocked when I was asked to join these people honored as well. I have been asked if I want to be a co-owner as well.

This comes at a very good time as my current job has shifted hugely in a not so pleasant direction.

I am soooooooooo excited.

Please keep fingers crossed for us you guys we want to kick some serious butt out there

It sounds exciting minksie, a bit like a roller-coaster. Putting a lot of work in on your own behalf makes so much more sense than doing it for someone else on a fixed salary. The other two are lucky to have you in the team.

I personally would suggest that you perhaps set aside a savings account in doing so...I'm not trying to question your competence or anything and obviously if your only real shot at making your new business endeavor work relies upon your lack of hesitancy then obviously I would say to go for it...

But would just like to remind you that sometimes these things just don't work as initially expected...Again I'm quite sure you're very intuitive...

Aw K have you been talking to my dad ahahaha I have about 5 months worth of living expense savings, set aside in case things fail.

Thank you everybody I can't wait to tell you about it when all the dust settles.

Oh good luck! I have my fingers crossed. I actually just turned down two friends that wanted to do the same. They went from 2 clients to 30 clients in a matter of months! Argh! I may still join up with them next year. I'm way too cautious and wish I had your guts. GOOD LUCK!

I believe every business can be successfull. Its all about, determination, better product or service, and knowing your competitors.

It sounds like your energized, and ready to go.

Its easy in this economy to build a business from my experience... People have turned away from inferior products. there tired of taking home a product that doesnt do what it says it will.. or breaks... you know what i meant.

Best of luck to you!

Going into business is an excitting adventure.. I quickly learned however.. that being your own boss isnt necessarily true... Your new boss is the customers... which i totally didnt expect, but it happened. But at the end of the day, its all worth it. And you meet amazing people too!
