Whats to come...

What my future holds is honestly the unknown, but I know the choices I make and the path I choose to take is in my hands. Once I have graduated from high school I will be focusing on building my business. I will start with creating a proposal and finding ways that will best market my business. I will have the business planned out by end of the summer in 2013. I will be figuring out a good growth structure for when my business decides to take off, from personal research I have learned that business that takes off too fast could be as bad as too slow if you can’t stay in control or handle it.  I will have a strategy for investing, inventory, marketing and growth. The name of my business will describe how I feel about it and where I want to go in the future. I will give you a little idea of what the company has to bring, it will encourage people for change and motivate them for a better future.
My company will be a fitness line that presents to the fitness community introducing comfortable fashionable quality clothing at affordable prices. It will introduce exclusive products for those fitness passionates. My company will not only be an introduction or a motivation to the fitness world as a clothing line, but making an actual change along the way. I always go by “small steps speak louder than small ideas.” Once this hits the market and revenue is building in approximately two and half years, around 2015, I will be opening a gym that will not just include the best workout set-up but it will have a mini store in each gym with my fitness line. There are several new ways that I have learned in the past several months that I can use to market my business. First off, by being involved in the social media world, marketing my business the proper way through Facebook, blog and an instragram that would provide latest sales and motivations. Once things are steady for the company and moving up I will consider traveling to different cities in Florida and organizing booths during events in each city. This will be recognized by new costumers and other companies that will be interested in purchasing my products. I will also have sample class of what my gyms will provide and if they bring it to their city the first 100 sign-ups will get a life membership discount.  I am extremely excited of what the future holds and the next 3-5 years will be hard, life changing and worth every minute to make it the most successful future.
My business will start out small but very strong, I will make sure that I use social media to generate new business and connect with customers. With over millions of small businesses competing against each other I will make sure that my Facebook, stands out most.  This being the leading network as well as LinkedIn they will broaden my network to spread my company all over the world with advertisements, pictures, videos and blogs. I have learned that social media has become an essential marketing tool, but many small businesses are not taking full advantage of its potential, I want to make sure that my business takes a big part of this. Below I will provide how each of social media areas will impact my company:
Facebook: Will be a more descriptive sharing with users, sharing when they visit, comments about the company and sharing events and updates.
LinkedIn: Will provide short status of the company for sale updates and changes in the company. This will make it easy to advertise the company since it an open relationship that anyone can follow and view my tweets.
Instagram: This will be for motivational pictures and sale advertisement that will be available for everyone to see and comment.
YouTube: This will be for all of our events, video workouts and mini commercials of new products; they will be organized by date and purpose.
            The future holds a lot of good things, right now I will focus first on my business and by the time I am thirty have a partner and 2 children. When I am 40 I will have already had my business going and it will be managed by other employees that I will hire and that I have grown a strong trustworthy relationship. I will be the one cutting checks onlyJ. I will still be working part time in a tax company, to always have secure income coming in for my children that I can use towards their college one day. Once I am 50 and up and getting close to retire, I will start teaching my kids about the business and showing them the strings of how it needs to run and how I want them to keep the company original but emphasize importance of the company and stay up to date with today’s technology and social media.
