First step is the hardest

People get excited when I tell them about Curlylox. The usual response is "Wow you have your own business, I would love to do that." And they always have a story about their idea/s and how they would love to do it. Why not do it? I ask, well I don't have the money and I don't know where to start. Most people love the idea of working for themselves but don't have the drive or determination to go out and do it. Let me tell you this sh**t is not easy especially selling over the internet. Yeah you get tons of people on your site but you have to persuade them in less than a minute to buy, thats were the hard part comes in. Dealing with the competition and the bad talking cause people want to make it just as bad as I do and think giving me bad flack will pay off for them. Ain't nobody learn "what goes around comes around." Over the last year I have been learning as I go, as I said in other blogs I didn't have a business plan or an idea of how Curlylox was going to run. Don't get me wrong I definitely love this but it ain't paying all the bills yet so I am working real hard at it still. Do I ever feel like giving up???? Do I ever wonder what I am doing??? Yes and No!! I love a challenge I have never liked any of my jobs enough to want to work for someone else. When I first started out I had 2 months I had absolutely no sales, hmmmmm but thats business. Just got to keep pushing on, what keeps me motivated is my Mom and BF they give me all the support one needs to carry on. My mom says that all those who made it to the top started where I am, so I remember that. What is a really good inspiration as well is a magazine called Entrepreneur they interview entrepreneur across North America and they tell their stories, very uplifting.

Honestly the hardest step is the 1st but once you take that step you are well on your way. Trust me!!!!! For now my head is up, positive vibes and taking it one day at a time!!!
