Anyone have experience starting their own biz?

This topic was created in the Sagittarius forum by SunMoonStars on Tuesday, July 26, 2016 and has 16 replies.
I am about to embark on this journey.


Any fellow Saggies have stories to share ?


I have two potential projects with partners. They are independent of each other.

One is a Virguy and one is a Capguy.


I lack earth in my chart and most of my friends or partners are earth. So uncanny.


Any insights are appreciated.

Yes.. I launch my website December 14th.. Be on the lookout. After these initial stores/skateshops.. I'm getting into Zumiez and Urban Outfitters etc. Praying one day it's as big as Stussy and Ralph Lauren...



Next summer. I'm getting together colleagues and we will begin looking at land, I've decided to build duplexes around college towns to help with housing.


I'm 23, hopefully by 25 I'll be really bringing in serious revenue and expanding. Would have already if I had a little family help etc along the way, but it's okay.



How old are you guys.. And what type of business are you thinking of? Brief overview please, and Good Luck.

Thanks for your replies!


I want to know if Saggies are suited to be their own boss?


What are some of our bad traits that might hinder our businesses?


How are we with online businesses?


For me, I hate routine and the 9-5. I don't like the feeling of being tied down. So for me, I suppose I will need to set things up and let others do the day to day running of it. Problem is, I don't have that much capital to be an investor yet.

Well I've been working on this since 2010.. Really. I taught myself pretty much everything and it's just now happening.



Get organized. Ignore distractions... For real. You got it ... And I start December 14th... So I don't know but it's levels to this. And I'm working to be a millionaire. So of course it'll be pressure.. But it depends on the level you trying to get to. Small business or corporate level?

I had just got rid of one. Almost drove me into the grave. lol

One woman said her husband after 40 years in business said he is going to write a book

where every page will say DON'T Do IT Don't do it! Don't do it!


Invest your time in education and find a good company that will pay you.

I will tell more later.

Don't do it! smile

People kill me with that. You learn from trail and error. And one day it all makes sense. TRUST YOUR PATH

I'm a Sag and I own a boutique. I love fashion and I love people so this works just fine for me. I spent almost 5 years online and at libraries learning about the ins and outs of owing a business just to be sure I was on the right page every step of the way before investing.


I've worked for other people, currently still is as a back up plan, I feel like my work ethic and sacrifices, employers take for granted. I'd rather invest that energy towards my own business.

Just now reaching success with my first one...



Sam Walton, Walt Disney..


All of these ppl FAILED. Mark Cuban. Oh wait let me read a book...the owner of Zumiez worked at smaller retail stores to learn.



Not being offensive, but you make your own path .. UNLESS YOUR PARENTS MADE THEIR OWN PATH AND PAVED THE WAY FOR YOU.

My sag dad just launched a new business. Hes selling products on amazon as well as some personal sites. It has been in the works since last year october but he has been slow and afraid to invest the money ( this is his first business)


He has gotten super irritated and anxious every step of the way. Any time he comes against a problem, he blows it up and exaggerates it more than what it is. I think he likes being his own boss, but then all the pressure is on him and I know he feels that.
This is the stage I'm in. Has your dad been successful with selling on Amazon?

Good luck!! Sounds like you put a lot of work in.


Small biz, I just escaped the corporate chains. Other option is franchise something that works well for the big bucks. Whatever I can do that doesn't require me to be 9-5 for the next 35 years!

Agree 100% with your last line. Working in corporate killed my soul a bit tbh.


Do you have any book/websites recommendations?

For sure. I mean it's a lot of work... A lot of work. But idk. It's worth it when you're the boss.


Good Luck to everyone who's taking the leap of faith.
