Starting a small business is a journey filled with both excitement and challenges. For many entrepreneurs, the road to success can feel daunting, with obstacles at every turn.
🤝 Lack of Support:
One of the biggest challenges new entrepreneurs face is the lack of support, especially in the initial stages. Often, they find themselves navigating the business world alone, without the guidance or resources they need to succeed.
📈 Marketing Hurdles:
Navigating the marketing landscape can be overwhelming, especially for those who lack experience in this area. Understanding how to effectively market their products or services and reach their target audience is a common struggle.
🔍 Directionless Product Promotion:
Another common challenge is knowing how to effectively showcase their products or services to the world. Without clear direction, many entrepreneurs struggle to get their offerings noticed in a crowded marketplace.
🏛️ Government and Entity Support:
While government and other entities claim to support small businesses, the reality is often different, especially here in British Columbia. Many entrepreneurs find that assistance is only available once their business is already established, leaving them to navigate the initial challenges on their own.
🍞 Baking Business Blues:
Take, for example, those who produce baking products. The government imposes strict rules, requiring industrial kitchens for production. For many, starting in their own kitchen seems like the logical first step, but this isn't enough to meet the government's regulations, causing unnecessary hurdles and delays.
