Your First 30 Days Running Your Own Business: A Simple Plan

The first month decides whether a business becomes a habit. Here is a simple plan you can follow, even with a busy schedule.

Week 1: Set up and learn

• Finish your profile and shop name.
• Add five to ten products you understand.
• Set prices using a simple margin rule.
• Watch the first business lessons.

Week 2: Tell people

• Share your store link in your status and bio.
• Message 20 people who may need your products. One-to-one, no spam.
• Post two useful tips.
• Ask three friends for honest feedback on your shop.

Week 3: Sell and serve

• Aim for your first orders. Reply to every message quickly.
• Deliver on time and pack neatly.
• Ask each customer for feedback.
• Keep a record of every order.

Week 4: Review and improve

• List your best and slowest products.
• Adjust prices and descriptions.
• Decide which plan fits you now.
• Set a goal for next month.

Keep your numbers

Write down money in, money out and what you owe. Keep business money separate from personal money, even if it is just a different notebook or wallet.

Small steps every day beat big bursts once in a while. Consistency is the quiet advantage in selling.
