Starting your own business can be liberating in many ways. I’ve always said that working for yourself can be very rewarding but often you are working twice as hard compared to when you are working for someone else, sometimes even more. When you’re the boss, you wear many hats, but if you’re sure you want to go into business for yourself, there are different types of businesses you can start.
Wellness Center
In 2019 people are much more aware of their physical and mental health. People are making a conscious decision to eat better. Whether it’s for weight-loss reasons or to maintain a healthier lifestyle, folks are now working harder at being healthy. One business idea you can start is a wellness center. You can provide a variety of different services including yoga, meditation, meal planning, cooking classes, and so much more.
Venerable Master Hsuan Hua created Buddhism Nature to bring Buddhism to western countries. It’s a business he was able to start from his own beliefs and culture and share it with others. Research the market to see if there is a niche that needs to be filled for what you want to offer and work towards filling that niche. Helping people with their overall wellness is a great way to be in business for yourself while helping others achieve personal health and growth.
Jewelry Designer
While some businesses may require you to take special classes or get certifications to get started. If you’re a creative person there are several business ventures you can start on your own with very little start-up money and almost no inventory to manage. Jewelry Designer is one of those options. You can visit the internet and look up videos of how-tos and tutorials of what you want to make. Start creating designs and share them on social media.
Once you’ve made a few sales, reinvest that money back into your business to help grow your supplies and your ability to make more pieces for sale. Find flea markets and local craft shows to display your work and earn sales.
Franchising
If you have the funds to open a franchise, you can afford the franchise fee, you can start your own franchise. There are lots of great businesses that offer franchising opportunities for people who want to start their own business. A franchise is a good opportunity because the business is already established and it’s looking for growth, so you can capitalize on its current popularity.

Start a Non-Profit
While starting a non-profit may not bring in a lot of money for you, it can be very rewarding in various ways. When I was in high-school I started a small non-profit with my siblings and cousins. We would collection non-perishable items in our neighborhood once a month and donate it to food banks. We also would visit a different nursing home in our community once a week to read to seniors, drop off cards, and participate in crafts. It was a very small scale but it was great for us and some of the other kids in our neighborhood looking to earn community service hours.
While mine was on a small scale Sparkrock can help you with managing a. larger-scale non-profit. Helping you keep track of budgets, spending, and much more. Check out their website for business solutions that will help you be successful in your business venture.
Regardless to what business you choose to pursue, make sure it’s something you’re passionate about, you’re going to be working harder than you ever did in your life, but it’s worth for many people in the long run.
