In those early days of owning a small business, you might feel all alone, on an island somewhere. In fact, some people might think your vision won’t work. Often, they may not appreciate the value in your service or product. If you give in to their view, you may feel unable to go on.
When this happens, it is worth looking at the way big brands started. Companies such as Google, Twitter, and YouTube were once not as popular as they now are. Their founders were simply budding entrepreneurs without a clear idea of what the business would develop into.
This, for instance, YouTube is well-known for hosting tutorials, global presentations, music videos and more. The site has millions of top notch clips and it is among the most visited platforms online.
However, before YouTube could boast of groundbreaking achievements, it had only a single video known as “Me at the zoo”. Yakov Lapitsky uploaded it in 2005 and it’s simply a short clip that shows him speaking directly to a camera from the zoo. Other bigger companies had humble beginnings, as well.
So, for the young entrepreneurs and other small business owners who feel gaining professional momentum has been a struggle, look to such first posts and get inspired. Therefore, despite your industry, you can actually create your message, grow a brand and transform the market. Instead of letting others dictate your business path, you can forge your way through the business arena.
