With the world shifting and many of us switching to remote/virtual work, there are many steps that we must take in order to successfully operate our business.
ย
Throughout my years in business, I’ve had the pleasure to go from a Corporate 6-figure business; employees, contractors, offices, remote office, etc to a 6-figure Entrepreneur working from the comfort of my home on my OWN TERMS!
ย
Today I want to share my proven steps you can follow to help you when starting a small business online.
ย
Throughout my year’s researching, testing, and implementing some of these steps into my business not only have I grown my business, but I’ve seen thousands of people start and grow successful businesses by doing the following:
ย
- Find something you love, enjoy – just do it!
- Use your skills or contract someone with the skills you need such as writing content that sells.
- Design and build an easy-to-use website, even if it’s a one-pager that has these key elements; who you are, what you do, and what you provide, and as your business grows you can add more to the website.
- You must learn how to do Sales and Marketing, but you also need to understand and learn how to use search engines to drive traffic to your site.
- Get trained so you can establish an expert reputation for yourself.
Always stay in touch and follow up with your customers and subscribers by email.
- Increase your income using the right tools through systems and procedures.
ย
Anyone, from a newbie to a seasoned entrepreneur, interpreter, or walks of life can benefit from this process in learning how to start a business online and offline.
ย
- Are you a freelance translator/interpreter who wants to start his/her own business, but donโt know how?
- Are you already in business, but not sure how to expand your business; entrepreneurship, interpreting, translation, start-up, small business, etc?

“A plan is ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT STEPS that many Entrepreneurs FAIL to implement.ย ย A business plan helps you build the โfoundation of your businessโโฆJust like building a house (you need a solid foundation), building a carย (you need a good engine), or even raising a babyย (you need to know how to, what the baby needs, be prepared, and so much more)โฆ”
ย
A plan includes โ the โWho, What, When, Why, Where, and HowโโฆIt helps you with preparing, organizing, planning, and development.
ย
Here are a few things to ponder when creating your plan:
- Who is the business for?
- What type of business are you starting?
- When are you planning to launch?
- What is your โWhyโ?
- Where are you planning to start this business?
- And How are you planning to do it and starting?
ย
These are crucial questions that you need to ask yourself vs. just starting off and then struggling to put the pieces in place and putting your business at RISK!
