Eek. It’s a bit daunting, isn’t it… starting a completely new thing. Will it work? Will people buy it, get it, read it? Am I wasting my time?
I don’t know if this, The Cleaners’ Business Hub, will work. But I do know that the only way to find out is to give it a try.
If you’re a small business owner you’ve probably asked yourself all those questions too. Felt tempted to stick with the safe option. Stay in your comfort zone. Don’t take the risk. Stay quiet!
I think we all think those things. We all have the moments of doubt. We all wonder if we can do it. We all question our own confidence.
What I do know: if you don’t take the risk, have a go, you’ll never know if your idea would have worked or not.
You’ve got to do your homework, think it through, work hard on bringing your idea into the world. Think about how other people will see it, if it’ll make sense to them… and oh so much more.
But then you get to the point of just having to get it out there. I remember it for my own cleaning business. Website – tick. Facebook -tick. Uniform – tick. insurance – tick. Paperwork -tick. Etc etc… it was all ready.
And you get to what I think is the scariest part – you have to LAUNCH! It has to be put out there, in public, and you have to see what comes back to you.
It’s pretty bloody scary. For me anyway. But exciting too! It’s the start of something that might work really well. It might help others. It might be just what someone else needs. It might bring the work satisfaction you’re after. It might make change! For you and for others.
So I’m sat here, not actually in my office but in the conservatory as the sun is out and I feel the need to suck it up while I can. Yes that’s my desk, it’s a bit of a jumble. Logos, fonts, safety data sheets, tunes, always notebooks… We are all juggling.
I hope the Cleaners Business Hub can help you with your own juggle. Help get the ideas onto the paper and then out into reality, actually created and out there. Look closely at the scrawl of my to-do list and you’ll see “first blog post”…
I’ll stop here cos I’m such a chatterbox and could go blathering on for ages. Please, come hang out, subscribe (you will get useful things as well as my blather!), leave a comment. I want the Cleaners’ Business Hub to be a truly useful resourse so let me know what would help you.
Oh and I guess I should have introduced myself! I’m Grace. Hop over to the ‘about’ page to get to know me a little bit more.
