Start Your Own Home Business

Are you ready to start your own business and become an entrepreneur full time? Maybe you want to dabble in entrepreneurship before you quit your day job. Either way, you have many options.

Currently, about 15% of the workplace is made up of freelancers, and self-employed individuals are expected to make up 20% of the country’s workforce in 2020. If you’re looking for a good start up idea so you can begin your own home business, here’s a look at some helpful steps you can follow.

Put Something in Writing

If you plan to seek substantial start up capital, you don’t need a formal business plan, but it’s still important to put something in writing. Simply putting things down on paper can help. Include a one sentence description of your business. Answer the following questions:

• How much money is needed to get the business going?
• Who will purchase your services or products?
• How much can you charge for the service or product?
• How much does it cost you to offer that service or product?

 

Build a Website

Whether you plan to sell online or offline, it’s still a good idea to have a website. Most people today hit the web before they make a purchasing decision, so a website is a valuable tool. A domain name and good hosting is reasonably priced and a professional website can help you increase your chance of success as an entrepreneur.

 

Get the Word Out

You can use marketing materials, social network marketing, and business networks to start getting the word out about your business. It’s cheap and easy to print flyers and business cards as well, which can help you market your business successfully.

 

Stop Planning and Get Started

While planning and marketing is important, you won’t start making money as an entrepreneur unless you just get started. It’s important to have everything in order, but then you need to get out in front of your new company’s target audience.

About Herb

Herb is the founder of Happy Life Secrets—a practical guide to building the life you actually want.

He doesn't teach theory. He shares what works. His approach cuts through the noise: happiness, health, and financial peace aren't separate goals to chase. They're connected. And when you understand how they work together, everything gets easier.

No gurus. No overnight transformations. Just research-backed strategies that have been tested and proven over time.

Brand Origin Story

Happy Life Secrets wasn't built on a breakthrough moment.

It started with questions.

After years of building a life of intention—navigating relationships, health, and financial stability—Herb kept hearing the same thing from friends, family, even strangers:

"How did you build this kind of life?"
"What's the actual process?"

The truth? There was no secret formula. Just small decisions, repeated consistently. Habits that compounded. Mindset shifts that changed everything without being dramatic.

But most people never learned this. They were stuck chasing the next goal, the next fix, the next version of themselves—always searching, rarely satisfied.

Herb realized: what if the answer isn't out there? What if it's already in your hands—you just need a clearer system?

That's why Happy Life Secrets exists.

Not to sell you a dream. Not to promise a perfect life.
But to show you what's actually possible when you stop overcomplicating it.

This isn't about becoming someone else. It's about building a life you don't need to escape from—one choice at a time.

That's the real secret!

Happy Life Secrets delivers reliable information and authentic inspiration for women who deserve both.
