I am here to talk about how frightening yet exciting it is to embark in a new business journey. I have recently mounted a new company, DancePlug, with 2 other partners.
All three of us being professionals in the dance world, we decided that the dance community needed an online hub to self-promote, connect, find resources, and grow as an artist. So we created a network geared towards dance professionals as well as dance lovers. In addition we also created online dance classes of many styles and levels, taught by some top choreographers of the industry (such as Tabitha and Napoleon of "So You Think You Can Dance"). These are only the big features of our "little big" baby.
It was a lot of work, and it still is. There are so many things to think about on many aspects:
- the administration for a new business
- the finances
- the development
- the creativity
- the marketing
It was sometimes hard not to lose sight of what we wanted to achieve, as you drown under papers, legalities, fees, etc... You get one thing done, and another arises. Lots, lots, lots, lots of research. And that's where I think it gets exciting as well. I have enjoyed learning about things I would have never thought of otherwise.
Yes the fear sometimes overwhelms the excitement and then the excitement takes over. It keeps rotating, and it has kept me going...
So I'm going back to work on my website, but I'll be back with more thoughts and details.
Bizzy Bee.
