Six years ago, after nearly 30 years in the corporate world, I took a leap of faith and started my own business.
Today, Tina Christiansen Virtual Solutions allows me to help businesses with marketing, social media management, website updates, administrative support, and the countless behind-the-scenes tasks that help businesses grow.
Like many small business owners, I'm always looking to connect with new clients who could use an extra set of experienced hands to help their business succeed.
But recently, I found myself taking another leap.
I launched Fresh Start Tote Rental, LLC, a reusable moving tote rental business serving Melbourne, Viera, Rockledge, and surrounding areas.
And if I'm being completely honest...
I haven't gotten my first tote rental customer yet.
What many people don't see is that while I'm managing client projects, creating content, updating websites, supporting businesses, and continuing to grow my virtual solutions company, I'm also building a brand-new business from the ground up.
The website.
The marketing.
The social media.
The networking.
The planning.
The uncertainty.
Some days it feels like I'm wearing multiple hats at once.
But every successful business starts somewhere.
Every business owner has experienced the days before the first customer, before the first sale, before the momentum begins.
So instead of focusing on what hasn't happened yet, I'm choosing to celebrate what has:
โ๏ธ I took the leap.
โ๏ธ I built two businesses.
โ๏ธ I'm showing up every day.
โ๏ธ I'm continuing to learn and grow.
โ๏ธ I'm not giving up.
One business helps other businesses succeed.
The other helps families move more efficiently and sustainably.
Different services. Same purpose: helping people.
If you've started a business, I'd love to hear:
What was the biggest challenge you faced before getting your first customer?
And if you know a business owner who needs marketing, social media, website management, or administrative support, or someone planning a move, I'd be grateful if you'd keep me in mind.
