Tips to Remember When You
Start Your Own Small Business

Starting a business of your own can be a great way to recover financially from the economic downturn. Despite all the turbulence in the economy, thousands of new businesses are being created each year. Of course, when you’re ready to start your own small business, you need to be smart or your new start up will fail. Here’s a closer look at some helpful tips you should remember as a new entrepreneur.

 

Tip #1 – Know Why You’re Starting a Small Business

Although it may seem daunting to become an entrepreneur, sometimes job search fatigue can be even more difficult. Venturing out on your own can be a great way to take control of your work life, but you don’t want to just start a business because you can’t find other options. You really need to be ready to start a business and ready for all the challenges ahead.

 

Tip #2 – Know What Type of Business You Want

While you need to have your own spin on your business, you don’t have to come up with something completely new. You do need to put your own twist on your business so you stand out among other competitors. It’s also important to remember that launching a service start up is much cheaper than starting your own product business.

 

Tip #3 – Start with a Simple Business Plan

You already know that having a business plan is important, but it’s essential to realize that you don’t need to have a lengthy, detailed plan before you get started. You don’t want to get so hung up on the plan that you never actually get started. Start with a simple, basic business plan that looks at what your business will offer, your target market, how much you plan to charge, and how you’ll make the business successful.


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.
