As a small business owner, what challenges are you facing right now? What "keeps you up" at night?
My challenge is geting completely automated. I'm an oldschooler and still do a lot of things manually. I have stepped it up a bit but my filing system keeps me up at night. As my business grows, I'm running out of space!
Thanks for your response Janis. Interesting answer. So you are going to be forced to take your filing to your PC :-) It will make your life a whole bunch easier...
My greatest challenge is products on the shelf that there is a demand and will sell.
Thanks for your response Tim. Please clarify? I couldn't fully understand.
ummm . . . I need to write articles (Products) that get more views with Google traffic. I am exploring to discover one or more Niche Topics (Product Type) that I can apply my craftmanship with :-)
Thanks for the clarity Tim! Yes, content marketing is the number one online marketing method so it's worth pursuing. Good luck!
My biggest problem is getting products from concept state to actual production. I am still in a very early infancy stage and I have many different products I am able to manufacture and market but it's hard choosing which wont will be ideal to roll out first. And which will give me the momentum to fund the development of the future ones.
I have also tried different products before but sales were few and far in between as I new and wasn't very keen on marketing strategies. I should probably just chose one and run with it!
Thanks for your comment Keino. The greatest thing I have learned is that you can have an exceptional product or service, but if no one knows about it, it won't sell. So marketing is key.
My great challenge is to find right customer and also to promote business worldwide.

Hopefully as a small business owner you're doing something each day to build your empire. More importantly, hopefully you have a logistic plan. Assuming that you do, what marketing strategy would you dare not to forget every day?

First off, I'm quite sure Obama's a nice guy. That's not how I vote. I happen to be one of those people Obama constantly attacks. I'm successful. I have a business. Two to be exact. I make a fair amount of money. I moved out of the city a long time ago (not...

My husband thinks it would be a great idea if I started looking into creating my own bakery.
