Your New Small Home Biz: Finding A Support System

PowerHomeBiz.com:

Do you have days where you feel like you’re the only one dealing with the business owner issues you face? It might be time to find a support system.

While your family and friends have an idea of the things you’re going through with your new business, they may not have the first hand experience. This will make it hard for them to relate, understand, and make suggestions. You need to find people who have already been there. So where can you look for these peers?

1. The internet – It’s an obvious place to start. Your business is online, your customers are online. Who else would know more about running and online business than a fellow online business owner? They can be a wealth of knowledge, providing you with experiences and sources. They will know of other sites and helpful software. They can lend an ear when you need to vent or just can’t seem to figure out how to solve a problem. Look for message boards and email groups.

2. Community small business groups – While your business is an online venture, it is still a business. Most cities have several groups and resources for their small business owners. Try checking with your local chamber of commerce or looking for a small business newsletter that circulates in your area. You may be able to find small business support groups that meet from time to time to discuss issues facing businesses in the area.

3. Look to your competition for help – This may seem like a silly idea. After all, they are your competitors. However, you may find that if you ae not in direct competition with you, they may be very willing to trade ideas. If their similar business caters to a small local community and they don’t have an internet presence, you would not be competing directly. You may even find yourself able to partner and increase gains for both parties.
