Hello folks.

Its not fun to write this.

I purchased machinery to start a business months ago (High end Letterpress Stationery) and up until now I still dont have a website running and the business havent started yet.

I work 9-5 and try to tell myself I will work on the business after hours but never do, it fucks me up to know that the reality is that I am the one to blame here on why the business has not lauched yet.

I have the machinery, the name, the place, the skills and the idea.

I do not have a logo, a website, a marketing plan and a single sale (and the motivation).

I am not looking for solutions, I just want to open for discussion and hear stories of people that struggled the same way and how you managed to keep the ball bouncing.

​

Thanks in advance.

    If you’re working 9-5 and your business doesn’t have customers, what the heck are you doing?

    Also, don’t expect that owning a business is a 9-5 job, especially starting a new business.

    The only thing you should be working on right now is getting customers. Nothing else comes close to mattering. Make calls, see faces, build a web landing page with a contact number, network, get word out to everyone all the time, create promotional materials…

    When I encounter an issue like this, I usually delegate it to others, lol. It helps kickstart things and simplifies the process. Sometimes it’s also because we’re a bit apprehensive.

    Starting with tasks like working on your logo and branding can boost your motivation and make everything feel more tangible. Why do I suggest this? Not because we’re offering it, but because that’s what most clients tell us.
