Start your business: 20 ideas for you
BUSINESSHOW TO
Self-employment - yes or no? If the thought of starting a business has been on your mind for a long time, you probably know it: the feeling of inner restlessness, restlessness and dissatisfaction - perhaps combined with the certainty that there is something more slumbering somewhere deep inside you, the tedious everyday work of your 9th -to-5 jobs cannot have been all and the desire to reinvent yourself and finally follow your heart.
Is the will there? Excellent! But now it comes to the really tricky question: How to start self-employment? With these 20 business ideas for your self-employment you will get a lot of inspiration - so that your start-up does not fail because of the missing business idea.
Become self-employed - but you still don't have a business idea?
In fact, many women have a great desire to take the leap into self-employment and to realize their own ideas. Because there is no question that self-employment has a lot of advantages: you are your own boss and can work when, where and with whom you want - and ideally also follow your heart. Sounds good right?
But it is also a fact that only very few have the courage, because the step out of the (supposedly) secure job and into the unknown is often associated with fear and a risk that many do not want to face.
But it is not always just a lack of courage and the right mindset - often there is simply a lack of a brilliant and convincing business idea. Once this has been found, the will and motivation to start a business almost automatically goes through the roof!
