Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Jessica Burgess, Owner of Fantabulosity, located in Ennis, MT, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
I own the lifestyle blog and brand, Fantabulosity.com, where I feature easy recipes, organization tips, affordable fashion ideas, and much more to help make life a little more fabulous for busy moms.
Tell us about yourself
I first started blogging as a hobby back in 2011. As a new mom, who longed for something of my own to feel creative, I started Fantabulosity and later realized it could turn into a business. Now, years later, my blog is more successful than I ever imagined!
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
I'd have to say my biggest accomplishment as a business owner has been reaching almost all the goals I've set my mind to. Whether that's income, being featured on some of my favorite platforms, appearing on some of my favorite shows, and more!
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
The unknown! But I truly believe that this is the case whether you're a business owner or if you're employed by someone. Sometimes we're not able to predict the economy and/or sales, and we can't really be sure what's going to happen. However, having control over your business can help make that easier.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
First, I'd say to make sure it's something you're passionate about. Loving what you do every day help makes things feel less like "work" and can make "working" fun!
Next, if possible, running a debt-free company can be a game-changer for your business. The pressure of paying back debts is obsolete, and it can be easier to manage income/expenses and project the business growth needs.
Finally, I believe that in today's world, having either your entire business or some of your business online is crucial. Whether that's online sales, local SEO, or social media, it's important to have a presence online.
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
My blog is successful today because of the amazing followers, readers, and visitors to my blog. I just want to thank anyone and everyone who has ever visited Fantabulosity.com because that means the absolute world to me, and helps me get to do what I love to do, every single day!
