Today I found a blog about a man called Richard Lazazzera, who successfully launched an entire online t-shirt business under 24 hours, and eared himself a hefty profit of $ 210, within that time-span—Impressive.
The man himself is also the author of this blog, which brings me to my main point: the fact that he blogged about his experience and explained every important step he took is, in my opinion, highly admirable.
Very often, people find it very difficult to start something new, especially young entrepreneurs looking to kick start a new business. The lack of experience can be very intimidating, but blogs like this one, which present the reader with a perspective of starting a business from scratch, can provide clarity and understanding to the youth, instilling confidence to start doing it themselves.
Also, apart from inspiring self-assurance, this blog served as a great source of useful tips and tricks to help navigate the business world. For instance, the author really stressed on organization and planning, which is fundamental to accomplishing any sort of endeavor. It is also clear that he is well calculated, because throughout his blog we see that he planned every little detail, like how much time he’d devote to thinking of the site’s title.
At the same time, it is always important to know that this blog is only a documentation of a specific situation, and not a universal set of instructions that can be applies on any start-up business plan. Lazazzera is only presenting the readers with his personal experience, and he’s highlighting what he thinks is important, and what he thinks the best approach to a start-up is.
A great way to learn is through observation, and blogs like these can really help others who are struggling to find the confidence to start. Not all people are that brave. But only observing doesn’t cut it. You have to throw yourself in and learn from experience, because in the end, that’s the best way to learn. The author says this himself at the end of the blog too, which is also ironic in a way.
