Hello all! Welcome back to another blog up on the site. This time I have for you my review of my first official business year as a business owner. There were so many accomplishments and there was also some setbacks but nonetheless, everything was a learning experience! I believe I started writing this in the beginning of last year and finished at the end of 2020. It’s way more comfortable for me to look in the year by quarters just so that I can keep track of the small and big milestones, as well as, adding in feedback from my monthly audits. I try my best to stay educated in Entrepreneurship and Small Business in general. I must say this was the year I definitely learned the most by just diving in and learning along the way. There are soooo many risks to doing that and honestly, I consider myself blessed to be able to create something of great meaning and importance and not having to worry about paying rent. My family had to get used to providing for me in ways we never have before and it’s something I’ll never forget or take for granted. As much as I wanted to say that I’ve done absolutely everything on my own from the ground up, there have been so many people around me who have inspired me, supported me, paid of my services and took care of me when I was down. A business is almost like having a kid, and you literally need your Tribe; like the saying goes, “It takes a village,” and it definitely takes a village to build a business. This year one of my major manifestations for this business is to build a solid team of members who are just as dedicated and perseverant as I am to make this dream come into fruition. I cannot wait to see everything come together on divine timing, but until then, here are a few things I learned in my first year as a solopreneur.
