A small business that I won’t start in the near future is an e-commerce store. I’ve always wanted to start this business because I work as a graphic designer and I’d love to have my own business and work based on my own schedule without having a boss to tell me what to do. The store will serve both or offer both digital and physical products but all of them will be related to graphic design. I’m planning on starting with digital products only because I want to stress out because of the shipping and physical products at the beginning of the project. I’m going to focus only on digital products at first which means that I’m not going to need a large team to work with me. I think that I haven’t started this project yet because I have a full-time job which means that I don’t have enough time to focus on my own business. I also don’t have enough funds at the moment because such kind of project needs a large budget to spend on marketing and advertising. I think that this project could be hard for me because I already have a lot of competitors so I think that I need to gather a strong team, especially a strong marketing team, to be able to compete with other companies.
