Entrepreneurialism – The Best Time to Start a Business

Spirit of Entrepreneurialism

A soap making business is still a great untapped area and can be a very profitable business for those looking for extra income or want to start a full time business. Once you have decided that a soap making business is something you would like to do, there are some basic things that you need to consider.

Once will be start up costs. You will need to look at what equipment you will need to get your started. For the most part you will find that there are a lot of items you already have around your house. Bowls, mixers and crock pots are usually pretty standard kitchen supplies, along with spoons, gloves and measuring cups. One thing you will need to invest in is a good digital scale. This can become you most important asset and I would not advise scrimping on this. It can make the difference in whether or not your soap comes out right and the last thing you want in your new business is your product being ruined and the money going out the window. So take the time and research the different scales and buy the most accurate one you can find.

The next item that you need to consider is your mold or most likely different kinds of molds. For some soaps, simple square bars will be fine, but it won’t be long before you have customers that are looking for more fancy molds, or companies that want they logo embedded in the soap they purchase. You will also probably develop a soap that has your own distinctive brand.

You will also have to consider whether or not your business will accept credit cards or simply cash and cheques. If you are going to use credit cards, you will need to familiarize yourself with the procedures to follow to get a business card. Here it is recommended you talk with someone at the bank you already deal with and they will help to guide you through the process.

You’re also going to need an accountant, although in the beginning you probably can handle most of this yourself. As you find yourself getting busier with your business it’s then time to get someone to handle the financial end of doing the books so that you have time to concentrate on your business and growing it.

Once you start to get your business off the ground you need to look at having a marketing plan. You need to identify who your target market is and how you are going to sell to them. You will need to consider different advertising options such as newspaper, pamphlets and business cards. One of the biggest and cheapest advertising vehicles will be your customers and their satisfaction. They will spread the word fast than any other way of advertising.

9 – This Is Just Business, It’s Not Breast Cancer. Being a nurse will help you keep things in perspective. When business fails, all you have to do is that think that you’re failing on a renewable resource and that you’re not betting on life. So in this way you can still have that positive attitude in dealing with failures.

10 – Illness Can Wake You Up. Sad to say most of the patients have their turning point after a tragic illness or sickness. Sad that it has to be triggered by something before reacting, well this kind of attitude can also work well with business as new problems can birth out new creative ways to operate in your business.

One last thing to consider and something that will help keep your costs down, is to specialize in a few distinctive types of soap, such as castile, shea butter soaps and soaps using essential oils in a number of different ways.

In these economic times, this can be a very satisfying home business that you can earn extra money with and decide over time just how large you want to grow it. It’s also a very fun and rewarding business and usually involves dealing with people who are happy to see your products

What is Entrepreneurial Harmony?

Steve Harper, author of The Ripple Effect, asked me a question on Monday during our Influence Mastermind Interview… and part of my answer was motivated by a meeting I was in two weeks ago with Dr. Ivan Misner, founder of BNI, the largest networking organization in the world. And I want to share it with you.

Short History- For more than a year, I have been patiently and diligently interviewing experts, authors, and business leaders as a prelude to a launching of a coaching program for the general public, along with two books. The process has given me a higher investment than I could ever give back, and along the way I’ve clarified my view on a theory – Entrepreneurial Harmony – that I’m writing about in a book, The Alchemy of Influence, Sales Leadership and Entrepreneurial Success Through Harmonic Influence Over Ourselves, Others and The World.

So… the question was asked, “How do you define Entrepreneurial Harmony?” Here was my answer: “Most business owners, sales professionals, and entrepreneurs are blindly led in a dangerous direction, in attempt to achieve ‘balance’. I don’t know about you, but I’ve given up on balance. I think it was Marcus Buckingham who said, great achievers actually seek out ‘intentional imbalance’.

Two weeks ago, I asked Ivan Misner what his number one focus was each day when he got out of bed… his answer, “harmony”. Ivan confirmed what I believed and have been writing and teaching about. There is an experience, a way of life, almost like a “zone” that has nothing to do with balance, and everything to do with harmony … I call it Entrepreneurial Harmony. Importantly, it is very profitable. Here is more hopeful news – it’s not a complicated idea. Entrepreneurial Harmony has 2 components.

First of all, Entrepreneurial Harmony happens when we as individual people make an intentional effort to align all of our actions, both professional and personal, with one ultimate guiding purpose for our lives. This is when people often ask me, ‘what if I have no idea what my purpose is?’ The best answer I have is that it is less important to ‘know what our true purpose is’ than it is to decide on one for the moment. At the very least, as long as we are continually asking, ‘what might my ultimate purpose be?’, we know that we are getting closer to it, vs. worrying about whether we have chosen the ‘right or wrong purpose’.

For some, it can be beneficial to just look at where they currently are and ask, ‘what are the reasons I enjoy what I do now?’ This often reveals what they might consider their main purpose. Even if someone doesn’t have clearly set purpose, they can choose principles that they believe in, which can also create harmony, by aligning all their actions with certain principles. For some, what I just said, might be two ways of explaining the same thing.

The second part of the equation, which plays a huge role in my personal objective with Global Empowerment Connection, is something I am truly passionate about helping other entrepreneurs to discover. Entrepreneurial Harmony happens when we allow our individual purpose to align with a greater purpose. I’m not here to say what that greater purpose should be for you, I’m just saying that something magical happens, business owners enter a zone, when they decide that what they are doing is about something greater than just themselves or their business.

I was interviewing Mark Ucra, also known as Dr. Tea, who has the most followers in America amongst tea drinkers. He has been on every major news outlet, including The View a few weeks ago. When I asked him about his success, all he talked about was harmony with the whole world. I know, it appears to be a bunch of fluff at first, but it’s worth thinking about.

Ultimately, I’ve found that in my business, and in the businesses of those who I deal with who are absolutely thriving, regardless of the state of the economy, both these pieces are in place. What occurs is amazing. Miracles take place. The ideas, people, and resources all come together when somebody works towards Entrepreneurial Harmony. This isn’t fluff, it’s very real. I see it, but it isn’t always overt. Often the people who are practicing it don’t know why they are. They stumbled into it.

I hope this message inspires you in some way to continue your journey towards Entrepreneurial Harmony.
