Currently I run freelance logo & graphic design company for start-ups and more, and I know how hard is to get your company off the ground in this truly competitive world. My advice is to find your business niche, build strong brand and do what you love doing. Good luck for all entrepreneur-minders :) I have great passion for building my company out of nothing.

First, assess what the word “failure” means. Failure on a new business venture could mean not reaching sales goals, not achieving the impact that a team was looking for, or complete business closure. For new entrepreneurs, if the business is structured correctly, failure could be and should be a prelude to success. Perhaps the idea was a good one but the entrepreneur did not have the experience required to “bring it to life”. I'm a proponent of really going for it, but you may have to take another job on the side to sustain your lifestyle. If you do decide to do both, you'll really have to manage your time to ensure that your business doesn't slowly slip away. Hope that helps. Eric Mario, yea entrepreneurship is hard.

I’m a proponent of really going for it, but you may have to take another job on the side to sustain your lifestyle. If you do decide to do both, you’ll really have to manage your time to ensure that your business doesn’t slowly slip away.

Hope that helps.

I have recently started a website called www.bedandfed.co.uk (a database of 'kitchen supper, bed and (simple) breakfasts' for £35pppn or less), but I have a problem: Currently I am trying to build up a database of at least 200 members all over the country before I feel I can approach any newspaper to do a story - HOWEVER, the website at the moment is aimed at I think mainly housewives who want to make SOME money only SOME of the time without having to run a full time business (For example the members in Perthshire are the right kind of people and have understood the concept completely) but I am finding it impossible to get through to these people -Additionally people in cities, not necessarily housewives but really anyone with a spare room could take advantage of the website and make a lot of money. I know people like this are out there but it is very very difficult to get to them and I have little or no budget for advertising unfortunately. It's a bit of a conundrum - like a weird logic puzzle - bit of a chicken and egg situation, but I wondered if anyone might have any bright ideas?? please do let me know - chiefchchick@bedandfed.co.uk I'd be so grateful!

I´m from Mexico City and I´m still during that hard process of building up my company. In your own experience. How much time did you went thru losses before making your company truly profitable? Right now I´m even looking for any job, but I don´t want to give up my project... Hello Adam. I´m from Mexico City and I´m still during that hard process of building up my company.
