Oh no, you didn’t downplay it at all. You just got me to pay attention!

I’m a clipart addict.

Hi Everyone!

Thank you for the all kind words.

And yes, Alice, I totally agree that target market is extremely important. It wasn’t my intention to downplay its importance.

Oh, and good job on the clipart. I love them.;)

great insight! Fortunately, I put the horse before the cart, but you’re right – a lot of people do it backwards. Good luck to you!

Wow Jarod, I really had to chew on and digest that one. You’re absolutely right… of course, I think many of us get there in the journey, meaning we stumble around a bit at first until we find our strengths.

I know that’s the way it ended up for me. I didn’t really know my strengths until I tried a lot of different stuff. Now I am marketing to the same target market but building a business around my strengths.

Great post!

Great advice Jarod. It is too easy to fall for a ‘get rich quick’ scheme. When people think they can just jump right in and make a lot of money doing what someone else is doing, even if they have absolutely no skills or experience in marketing, they may find they have bitten off more than they can chew. Choosing a niche surrounding our particular interests and experiences will give us the confidence to move forward, and keep us satisfied with our goal achievments. It truly is much more enjoyable promoting something we love and are passionate about to begin with.

Thanks for the post!

Teri

Great point, and I would want to add another factor — how do you want your business to fit into your life?

If you are working at home with a young child, you may want a business that does not require talking on the phone or meeting with people in person (like coaching clients), or teaching classes/teleclasses online. Do you want to travel? Do you want to work “normal hours” or do you work at night? Do you want to work 10 hours a week, or are you fine with working “full time” (whatever that means)?
