Hello and Everyone
We need to do something to earn money for our life survival and also to fulfill some responsibilities and commitments. We can choose to go with a job or we can also go with a business that we can build. Both are not easy I think because the job is a method where we can start getting money from the day we start working which is paid once or twice a month. Now business is a long-term thing where we need to build it first and then we can expect some returns. This can be different if you are lucky enough to have a business already built by your family but not everyone is so lucky.
I have a thought in my mind to start my own business the for last decade. I did a job also for about 6 to 7 years. I started working in 2013 and after the COVID pandemic, I did not resume my job. COVID is one of the reasons why I had to stop my job and then I never felt like doing a needed in a full-time job where I needed to spend the entire day at work. Now I do freelancing where I can work the way I want as per my conditions and this is good for me at least in the current scenario of my life and family responsibilities.
My Business Plan
I work in the fashion industry and although it is freelancing now the ready-made fashion-related wanted to start my own business in the year 2020. I was almost prepared to start my business in the second quarter of 202 but before that COVID came and things were chased. I wanted to open an outlet for clothing and all the fashion-related stuff. I asked for my plan this is going to be an outlet where you can buy ready-made outfits and also you can customize as per the latest fashion or whatever is your preference. You can choose the design and accessories and all these will be delivered as per the customer's requirement. In a nutshell, I wanted to create a business where anyone can get any design even from the Internet with some sort of customization and preferred accessories.
As I mentioned I was about to start my own business in the second quarter of 2020 and it was the plan that in March I would pay the security for the shop along with the rental amount. I already have the required equipment at home but there was a plan to buy some more because I wanted to hire one or two people. This was my plan and I knew that it would take at least six months for things to get settled because business is never created for the short term and we should be ready to deal in that period. Then all of a sudden COVID came and things from March 2020 were bad for everyone in the country. The same situation continued for almost three years and now we are in better shape. But my situation has slightly changed because of my newborn baby who is now 1+ but now I can not think of business for the next 3 years at least.
My idea for the business is still the same and there is no change in that but I am on a break from that business for the next couple of years. I will try to execute it again once my son is four years old and he starts going to school. My elder son was almost 6 years when I was thinking of starting my business in 2020 and now again I will have to wait for three to four years when my younger son turns at least 4. I'm not a person who likes doing my job and spending the entire day at work and this is why business is my preference I will be doing it once again after things are sorted. I hope that I can do this after a few years
