You can follow the beaten path and call yourself a business owner or you can blaze your own trail and really be one.

When Derek Sivers started CD Baby, he wasn’t planning on building a main business. He was an effective self-employed musician who simply wished to sell his CDs on the web. When no one would help him get it done, he lay out on his own and constructed an online store from scratch.

He started in 1998 by helping his friends sell their CDs. In 2000, he hired his first employee. Eight years later, he sold CD Baby for $22 million.

Sivers didn’t need a business program, and neither carry out you. You don’t need to believe big; actually, it’s better in the event that you don’t. Start with what you have got, care about your clients more than yourself, and run your business as if you don’t want the money.
