Starting your own thing is a mix of excitement, nerves, and a whole lot of hustle. But trust me, seeing your vision come to life is beyond rewarding. It's like watching a seed you planted grow into a mighty tree.

But hey, if you're still pondering, let me throw an idea your way. Ever considered diving into CRM tools? I stumbled upon Planfix Enterprise online, and it's been a game-changer for my biz. Think of it as your trusty sidekick in managing all those client relationships and keeping things running smooth. Check it out at and see if it resonates with your hustle.

I'm also a business owner. I run it completely online selling various stuff. It's great to connect with others in the community.
Btw, it would be great to share some helpful business tools and software. Which ones do you find useful? I've recently discovered the Workiva platform that simplifies complex work by enabling me to connect, transform, report, and automate data. It is great for working with annual reports, SEC filings, climate disclosures, board decks, audit committee presentations, etc. Moreover, the turned out to be helpful. Has anyone else tried this tool?

Your idea of starting a self-storage business sounds very promising, especially with the growing demand for storage solutions. The automation aspect you mentioned is a huge advantage—it can ******line operations, reduce overhead, and make managing the business more efficient. It's a great way to offer convenience to customers while minimizing the need for a large team.

Location will definitely play a critical role in your success, as it directly impacts the level of demand. Researching areas with limited storage options or rapidly growing populations could give you a competitive edge.

Another aspect to consider is scalability. Starting with a manageable facility and expanding as demand grows could be a good approach. It also gives you time to refine your processes and adapt to customer needs.

If you're serious about making the leap, you might start with a detailed business plan to assess costs, revenue potential, and any challenges you might face. It’s great that you’re already thinking about tools and strategies to optimize operations—sounds like you’re on the right track!

I’ve been running an online store for a couple of years now, and I totally get the hustle. I’ve found that using the right tools can really make or break how smooth things go. I haven’t tried Workiva myself, but it sounds interesting! For me, I’ve been exploring Head-to-Head for comparing different business software, especially for ******lining everything from inventory to sales reports. It’s been pretty helpful for me when I need to see what software is really best for certain needs. You can check it out here: . Would love to hear more about your experience with Workiva if you’re still using it!

If so, at what point did you decide to leave the company you were at and decide to go out on your own? How were things when you first started?

The moment I had enough capital to give it a go. Trust me, Jump! Owning your own business is to pay 25% taxes! You don't have to know this, get and accountant when things take off.

No charge.

I subscribe to the work hard and play hard motto, with plenty of time off!

By the way, I recently implemented software from into my business. With its help, I was able to automate many processes in my business quite quickly. I recommend all responsible business owners to try the software in action.

Your idea for starting a self-storage business definitely sounds promising, and I agree that automation can be a game-changer. By reducing manual tasks and optimizing processes, it can help you scale faster and keep operating costs lower, which is critical in a competitive market. Offering convenience to customers while maintaining efficiency is a solid approach.

Location is crucial, as you mentioned. It’s important to carefully analyze areas with high demand and few options. If you can target neighborhoods or cities experiencing rapid growth or limited storage capacity, you could position yourself well to capture a loyal customer base.

Scalability is another key point. Starting small with a focus on getting your operations running smoothly can provide valuable insights and minimize risk. As demand increases, you can expand and refine your offering based on customer feedback and market trends.

A solid business plan will definitely help you map out costs, revenue, and potential obstacles. It’s great that you’re already thinking about these aspects—being strategic and planning ahead will give you the best chance for success. Best of luck with your venture!
