This book will provide you with all of the knowledge that you need to get started. Not only that, this book will also go into details that are beyond the scope of starting the business stuff.

After reading this book, youll be one step closer to calling yourself a real entrepreneur!

Many people have dreams of opening their own business. Its safe to say that many people who work inside of cubicles every single day of their lives hope that one day they will be able to break free from the cycle of the typical nine-to-five job. They want to be their own boss, and they want to make more money. Not only that, but these people would also ideally like to start their own business doing something for which they are passionate. Otherwise, theyre not going to care one way or the other whether the business flourishes or flounders. All of these types of thoughts have probably gone through your head, too. While most people dream about these types of circumstances, they do not have something that you do have; and that is a hobby that can also be potentially profitable. This chapter is going to focus on not only how you can start to turn your attention away from making soap as a hobby and transform it into a profession, it is also going to focus on some of the key factors that you should be thinking about before you even go near a bank to get a loan or begin to develop a business plan. By organizing your thoughts in a particular manner, you can begin to think about the process of soap-making as more of a business endeavor and less like its something that is only pleasurable to you. Without understanding how you need to start thinking about your soap business, the less likely it is that your business is going to thrive in the way that you both want and need it to.

Are You Prepared to Make Less Soap?

One of the first things that you need to consider before you decide whether or not you really want to get into the soap making business is to figure out if you are someone who will be able to convert your passion for soap into a passion for making money via your soap production? Instead of thinking about the joy that you get from actually producing your soap, you are going to need to consider whether only making soap when its profitable to do so is something that you can manage. Efficiency is one of the key elements to any business in general. If youve ever heard the phrase time is money, then this concept should make sense to you. Many people get into the soap making business thinking that he or she will simply make a ton of soap all of the time and get paid to do this. The art of balance is important, especially when youre first going into business. It may take time before the orders start to roll in, and if youre on a budget, this may mean that you actually are not making soap when there are no active orders for you to fulfill. Will you be able to curb your soap making passion when its necessary? This is one of the first things that you need to ask yourself before moving forward.

Can You Make Anything Else Besides Soap?

Another key question that you should be asking yourself prior to any formal business planning is to consider whether or not you can make anything else besides soap. Many soap-making enthusiasts open up shop for themselves thinking that their soap production will sustain their business for both the short and long term, only to find that they need to close their business doors because they cant make ends meet. While we will talk about the ideas of price points and profit margins in a subsequent chapter, its safe to say that most people who dabble in creating their own soap business ultimately come to find that they need to be selling other products in order to see a sizeable profit. If you cant think of anything else that you can produce or sell, perhaps you should be thinking about finding someone else who you can go into business with who has a different skillset than you do. Some other products that you might consider selling in addition to your soap include oils, hand cream, or even paintings or other types of artwork. Get creative, and dont be afraid to expand the ideas that you have about your business. Expanding your vision and being flexible may be the two characteristics that ultimately save you from having to go bankrupt later on.
