What's A Boho Business?
Boho Business is a nod to that sometimes-elusive feeling many of us want to have - of being in business in a "bohemian" kind of way... meaning that, although we might be working hard, we're content and at peace with running our own business, rather than panicked, along the way.
Sound good?
There are probably hundreds of "work from home" opportunities out there, and dozens of really great ones. Do they work? I'd say that most of the popular programs do, although a few programs might be duds. My family and I have spent six figures plus, going through tons of courses to give you our opinions and experiences of them. This might help save you some time and money investment of your own.
So... what type of business suits you best? We have found courses related to:
-- Air BnB
-- Amazon
-- Affiliate Marketing
-- Digital Products
-- Financial Services
-- Print-On-Demand
-- Shopify
-- Stock Trading
-- Crypto
and more.
Some courses are more expensive than others. Some are more fun to implement. Some are more practical and some are more effective.
Probably the main key to an effective business is just finding a product that people want, then positioning yourself as a reliable source of that product. It sounds simple enough, but many lose sight of this simple fact, or never grasp it at all. It's probably smart to have some kind of foundational income already, before taking the leap of starting your own business, if you don't want to end up "pulling your hair out" along the way! When you do it this way, you can experiment a little more, and even work on your passion, without worrying about whether you'll be able to pay your bills with each passing month.
There are a few ways to do this, which I'll try to describe.
Eventually, if you can pay for all the expenses of running your business, including paying off the startup costs, then you could be in profit going forward.
People like to say "This is not a get-rich-quick scheme" as a way to legitimize a business opportunity they are promoting. For a while, I wondered why they even bothered saying that. Everyone already knows it's not easy - right?
Shark Tank star, Robert Herjavec, has a video that discusses this (Click here to view).
But actually, it isn't that it's always so hard to run a business; it's just that it takes time to build up. Along the way, if you want to have a solid business with a good reputation, you'll want to have good customer service and fulfillment systems. To achieve that, you have to put time and attention into it. Keeping up with those systems isn't always all that hard, but it isn't just some easy-breezy thing you can ignore and still thrive long-term, either.
The sooner you reach the break-even point in your business, the better. Along the way there, if you already have some "foundational" income for paying your bills while you build your new business, thus eliminating unnecessary tension and stress, that's a boho business...
