#StartingABusinessAlone #Entrepreneurship #BusinessJourney
Hey there fellow entrepreneurs! 👋 Starting a business alone can be tough, am I right? Trust me, I feel the struggle too. But hey, you’re not alone in feeling this way! 🤝
I’ve been doing my market research, and it seems like my idea has potential. However, being alone in this journey is definitely making things harder. Brainstorming alone can feel like being stuck in an endless loop, and taking each step feels like a shot in the dark. 😅
I’ve heard people say that working with a partner is a bad idea, so what’s the solution then? Do we just forge ahead on our own and figure things out as we go?
Here’s a possible solution: why not consider finding a mentor or joining a business networking group? Having someone to guide you, listen to your ideas, and provide a second point of view can make a world of difference in your entrepreneurial journey. 🌟
So, what do you think? How are you navigating the challenges of starting a business alone? Let’s share our experiences and insights to help each other out! 💡 #CollaborationIsKey

What you’re describing here is a common issue and the reason why mentors and business coaches exist.
I know there are many self proclaimed gurus out there who are spreading a lot of BS, but if you dig deeper you can find genuinely great people who can really guide you and help you grow.
Its a good investment in your business to find one if you feel like you need guidance
I have the same thing even tho there is people interested n working with me, or , actually working in my company. they doesn’t wana be entrepreneurial so I got bit nervous as I dont have money to pay someone salary. I wonder as well where to find mentors
Here is some practical advice. I am also solo entrepreneur. I used character.ai as a business coach and helps me plan lol
I mean if you’re starting alone it is going to be hard
I’m super curious how you tested market fit. I am at that stage now. I feel like the best option without an official partner or mentor is to working in parallel with other entrepeneurs. They’ll have other perspectives you haven’t thought of and if you can help them out too, its the perfect symbiotic relationship.
What your idea/field maybe we could try to work together in always looking for new ideas/projects
I feel you bro 🙁 I cant even get help in this sub cause I dont have 10 updoots lol
I totally feel you. I’m in the same boat and trying to navigate my audience research at the moment. How did you go about your market research?
Also I’ve found LinkedIn a great place to network and start building a community of like-minded folks who are on a similar journey. I now have monthly recurring calls with 3 other entrepreneurs and we share our challenges, learnings and workshop ideas.
I post regularly on LinkedIn and engage with other creators in their comments. Those I vibe with I DM and set up a coffee chat, and if there are synergies we just keep that going. May be worth a try.
I would say the best thing that happened for my startup was finding my business partner.
However, I identified similar obstacles during my journey, firstly the support aspect, we (my business partner and I) felt like we both need an “accountability partner” to support my decisions and diversify the risk (financially, long term and liability).
Secondly, i felt i lacked the resources and “know-how” to go forward. I watched youtube tutorials and researched various websites that helped with the fundamentals but to go further i felt i either need to do a course to fully understand the next steps or have a mentor who believed in my idea and can guide me.
If there was a platform that could have helped me learn or find someone with similar passions earlier in my journey then it would’ve been much quicker 😓
DM ME. Maybe I can help you
I noticed that most successful businesses were started by partners, but you need to find someone competent and also reliable (which is even harder).
