I am still working a day job. Would love to do this full time but can't at the present time
Thanks Rochell I am looking forward to the day when I can also.
Hello Nashonta,

How are you? I started part time with Taylor Made Organics in the beginning. I had a full time job as a Naturopathic Doctor. After our son was born we decided to make a change and expand the natural organic skin care products. I then closed the office and put my whole heart & time full time into the business to make it grow. That was several years ago and in my home. After 1 year I was making the same amount as I was at the office. Today we have expanded greatly due to customer demand and building a studio as we speak. The new facility will have enough space for us to expand 4-5 times the size we are currently which is a medium size. It's definitely a full time business with employees at this point.

Everything takes time. When you start you have to have the funds to make it grow without at loan (my opinion) and be committed to birthing the business. It's like having 2 full time jobs but one is your business. After you feel that the business it making money, your orders are consistent, and God has opened that door, then its time to say goodbye to the full time job.

I also find its important to start small and not invest a whole lot of money at first because you don't want to owe anyone nor if your ideas or products fell you won't have a loan to keep paying on with no other income. Believe me I have saw this happen with one of my wholesale customers.

Pray, ask for guidance, strength, and wisdom and God will show you the how to's if you listen to that still small voice.

May God enriched your life with his abundant blessings

Thank you sooooooooo much for all the inspirational words. Yes if we pray to God and truly believe, we will receive it and know when the time is right. I'm working a full time job & I'm trying to start my business on a shoe string budget :) and I refuse to owe anyone financially. Again thanks and much luck & blessing right back to you. Stay blessed!!
No. Part time! Work full time as an Air Traffic Controller Trainee. So yes it is a challenge trying to jumpstart a small biz and learn and adapt to a new career!
Hi Nashonta

I still work a 9-5 out of the home while being a full time single mom. I hope and plan to make my online business full time, with a possible store front. I wish you lots of luck!!

Thank You Melissa...my goal is to have a store-front also!
