Small Business Launchpad

Home / Small Business Launchpad

So many essential skills are not taught in formal education and I wonder why!

 When I started out on my own, I knew I had passion, everything else I was willing to learn. The hardest part however was the “Business” side of pursuing the passion. I did not know that there could be resources available that could make my life easy, probably I did not even try to find it. Everything I learnt through experience, making expensive mistakes that not only cost me money, but the one commodity that I will never get back, “Time”!

A decade later, I still cannot find resources that I could send someone who asks…

How do I get started on my own?

… it’s the most asked question! 

The pandemic has been a blessing in disguise. I spent a lot of time online interacting with different people. One of my favorite night time routine was to chat with a random follower about life, work, passion, home decor, challenges, anything under the sun actually. 

That is when I realized I could offer more than home decor to people. You dont have to put in the uncertainty grind that I did. You can grind where it counts! Grind, you will have to! There is no escaping that.

For my first collaborative project, I am teaming up with Aarthi Sivaramakrishnan of The Colour Company and bringing you a two day webinar called The Small Business Launchpad. (How to build a business and market it)
