Here at LeBrooks we talk a lot about careers. Most of the best types of careers require going to school, getting your degree, and becoming a trained expert in your field. College isn’t always necessary, but if you’re looking to make a good salary and help people, there are many fields which require it.
However, if you’re fine with some risk and adventure, becoming an entrepreneur is becoming more and more possible these days. Thanks for the internet, and all of the different marketing and advertising channels, there is a huge opportunity to build your own type and style of business. However, this type of career isn’t for the faint of heart. Many people do it for years before hitting it big or capitalizing on their idea. Now, it’s not all work, but it can certainly take time.
Take Angelique Lingerie for example. It’s a great case study for an article like this. Started by two sisters in Denver, it’s taken off to be a nationwide sensation, providing plus size lingerie for women of all sizes. Now, it wasn’t a huge success from the start, but it great over time as things progressed, the word got out, and they began ranking better in search engines. All of the above equates to more customers, more visitors, and more sales. Good things all around.
Now, remember, this is going to take time and even if you don’t end up going to college you’re going to need to learn a lot about certain topics. Taking something you’re passionate about, and helping other people learn about that subject is a great start. You’ll still need to master that subject, share your knowledge, and in that time you’ll have to learn how to share your knowledge. Online, a website will be absolutely necessary, social media marketing, YouTube videos. Focus in on a few and master them.
Long story, the internet has create an unique time full of opportunity. Yes, it’ll take time. Yes, it’ll be challenging. And, yes, you will have to fail your way to success. However, the odds are stacked way in your favor these days. By understanding that, and taking action, you’ll be set to really kick some butt and build a successful business that you enjoy working on and growing. They say if you love what you do you’ll never work a day in your life. While that’s a little stretch, you sure can enjoy it a lot more!
