No Longer Stagnant

Alright, enough pondering; it’s time to take action.

Generating ideas has never been my problem; it’s the follow-through that counts. Today, I’m determined to kick-start a business. Not one destined to make me wealthy overnight or grant me financial independence, but one that will steadily add to my income each month, break the monotony, and inject a fresh dose of confidence into my life.

So, what’s the plan?

Enterprising yet straightforward: dog walking. Here’s why it makes sense for me. I reside in an area teeming with furry companions and elderly folks. With a pooch of my own and a reputation for adoring animals, it’s a natural fit.

Consider this: if I’m already strolling with my pup daily, why not extend the leash to another and pocket a potential £20 per hour? Sounds promising, right? So, what’s the next move?

Today’s actions, squeezed into a productive hour, encompassed:

1. A speedy ChatGPT search to grasp the legal necessities.
2. Requesting insurance quotes.
3. Brainstorming a catchy name.
4. Dropping an email to my local council to unravel the permit puzzle.
5. Crafting a portrait of my ideal clientele and devising marketing strategies.

Tomorrow’s agenda? Establishing an online presence, with a focus on Nextdoor and Facebook. Why? These platforms are virtual havens for the elderly demographic, my primary target audience.

With a projected launch requiring just 5-6 hours of concerted effort, I aim to be up and running by the weekend, primed to secure my first clients.

Stay tuned for daily progress updates. Not only will it keep me accountable, but it may also serve as inspiration for others contemplating their entrepreneurial journey.
