Have you ever thought about starting your own business? Well I’m in the middle of it right now, and its much more difficult than I ever imagined. I’ve had to learn something about everything, and it doesn’t end there. Just when you think the hardest part is over, the next step presents its challenges. Who knew it would be so tough?

It starts with writing the business plan, not an easy thing when you don’t have a team behind you. You have to know about marketing and strategy, finances, cost projections etc. Then when you are all done you think to yourself the worst is over, but then you have to write an elevator pitch, do a presentation deck for investors with a set of Q&A’s so you can be prepared. But having all these things, doesn’t matter if you don’t have someone who’s interested in looking at it. So you have to start cold calling and mailing potential investors, in the hope you get someone who’s bombarded by these type of projects, just to look at it.
