Hey there, welcome to the first article for Business Bronto. In today’s post, I’ll explain a little more about who I am and what I hope to accomplish with this site and how I’m hoping to help you either start your first business venture or expand your business.
Let’s get right into it!
So, who am I and what’s Business Bronto?
My name’s Adrian and Business Bronto is my little slice of the internet, if you haven’t had the chance to look at my about page, I encourage you to take a look and see more of who I am and why I’m building this site.
I’ve been interested in business since I was very young and I’ve started and run several businesses, with varying success, during that time.
I’ve sold candy, snacks out of vending machines, supplements, and have built and run countless websites.
Because of those experiences I’ve learned a lot over the years and I’m obssesed with every facet of starting and running a successful business and that’s what led me to want to start this site.
Originally, the idea was that I wanted to start a business magazine-style site.
Sharing and analyzing the latest business news and diving deeper into what those stories meant for the everyday businessman. I guess you could use Business Insider as a comparison of what I had in mind.
However, I quickly realized that other publications, like Business Insider, are already doing that, except that they have much larger budgets and the staff to publish at rates I could only dream about.
So, I set my sights on helping people who want to start their own businesses but maybe don’t know how and that changed my entire outlook on what Business Bronto should be.
A pivot to the “Everyday Entrepreneur”
Once I dropped the idea of becoming the next Forbes from day one, I thought to myself, what would I have liked to have read when I first got started?
What would have been helpful to me?
Now, most of you reading this might be thinking, “Adrian, there’s already tons of how-to websites and plenty of “guru’s” and influencers everywhere”.
You’re not wrong. Not by a long shot.
But how many of them are actually helpful? How many of them go into great detail on how to start that business or side hustle?
To me, the majority of them seem to paint with broad brush strokes. Al la, “first, start your LLC”…so frustrating.
I realized I can do something different. Go into full detail on how to start that specific side hustle or business. Step-by-step.
Really help you to get off the ground and get going. No BS, just business.
Hey, that should be my tagline! …but I did just steal it and repurpose it from Erik Aanderaa his tagline is “No bull**it, just sailing” but that’s also okay to do…we’ll get into “stealing” in future articles!
Anyway, I’m getting off track here, I realized that people, like you, would probably want more.
Articles that dive deeper than others seem to do. I understand why “they” don’t do it.
Every business is different, not everyone is working with the same budget, and quite frankly, it’s probably going to be a lot of work but that’s what’ll separate me from the pack.
Who is Business Bronto for?
With all of the above said, who do I hope to help with Business Bronto?
Right from today, my goal is to help those looking to start. Starting, in my opinion, is the hardest part. Most people get right to the edge and then stop.
They look over that edge and start second-guessing. “Do I know enough yet”, “maybe I should do more research”, “wait, I don’t have that tool that so and so has, I can’t start!” and the excuses go on and on.
I know because I’ve done it myself, countless times as a matter of fact!
The goal of Business Brono will be to help you get started and then keep going.
I want to help you launch, whatever idea you have, and then do what I can to help keep you going.
With that being said, I have lofty goals for this website. I truly love all aspects of business and I want to grow and build out this website with plenty of knowledge to help as many as I can.
So, I will do my best to share newsworthy stories when I can and help relate it to you, as a small or one-person operation. Believe me, there’s still plenty to learn from big companies.
I want to interview successful business owners. So, we can learn from them, find out about how they started and the mistakes they made and what helped shape where they are today.
I have plenty other ideas and plans that I want to go with this site but no matter how this site grows, everything I do will keep the small to medium-sized entrepreneurs in mind.
Great, how can I help or get involved!
Before I can ask for anyone’s help, I need to step up and help you. I need to provide you with unbelivable amounts of value and quality content and that is my goal.
So, if you find that I’m doing that, that I’m giving you the best content that you can find, I’d love it if you could comment on articles. Ask questions there, let me know what you think or how I can improve.
Email any questions you have, you can contact me here, and I’ll do my very best to help you.
Finally, please forward posts you find helpful to friends or people you know who want to start a business or have one and need some more help with theirs. I’d really appreciate it!
What to expect next?
Well, now that you have a better idea of what Business Bronto is and what we hope to be, now I need to get on to filling out this blog!
I’m a nine-to-fiver like you most likely are too. So, I’ll be burning the midnight oil on weeknights and sacrificing my weekends to work on this site but I’m excited to get to working on this!
So, keep coming back when you have the chance and I’ll see you in the next article!
