Small Business, Big Break

In honor of Saint Patrick’s Day, this week’s Tips Thursday had us wondering about luck. Specifically, we were wondering what lucky break did those on our Facebook community get to start their businesses. As usual, we received a number of great responses (click here to see them all), but we had to pick just one to feature.

Our winning answer comes from Michelle Lyn Woolery Hanavan, who talked about something that can be crucial when deciding whether or not to start a business: consumer demand.  “I am a photographer, and people were OFFERING to pay me for sessions; so I jumped in and decided to just finally go for it. It’s been great ever since!” Michelle runs Michelle Hanavan Photography in Hamilton, Ohio.

Do you have a similar story? Did customer demand push you to create a new business? Tell us in the comments section!

We had several people just shaking their heads and saying, "Why are you wasting all that musical talent in a management position??  You should be out there playing all the time!"  And so we are.
