What inspired you to start your first business?
Freedom of creativity, making your own hours, schedule, doing what you love, potential of higher success, professional growth, skills, and talent.
I knew that I might have to put a lot more work hours in my own business to start it and further develop it, but it did not discourage me.
What has been the biggest challenge in your career?
I found that starting a new business today in general is a lot more challenging than before, even 10 years ago, for many reasons:
- Compared to rare encounters, even a few years ago, new business owners are currently dealing with fraudulent activities that have infiltrated trademark application services, graphic design, SEO, cryptocurrency investments, publishing… and many more. I’ve been addressing this situation, as strong legislation is needed.
- Fees for business permits, government certificates, applications, and other expenses affiliated with licensing are doubled, some tripled in cost or more.
- Internet presence, advertisement. It is required for business marketing and internet exposure- websites and social media presence also carries additional safety concerns.
Some positive aspects of internet exposure- acess to a large audience, fast and effective way to get information out, client network. Negative: Safety concerns, unauthorized access, and other.
When I was contacted by the distributors for Alfa Male Drink beverages www.thealfamaledrink.com, I was required to provide a social media page for our beverages, for example, and many other occasions when internet presence is a must-have for the business.
