Guest article by Candace Sigmon athomehelper.comEasy-to-Implement Strategies for Disabled Entrepreneurs As a parent, entrepreneur, and person with disabilities, your life is hectic. You also face many challenges that others don’t. While some days might feel like an uphill battle, there are a few strategies you can put into place starting today that help you build your business so that you can better take care of your children and yourself. Read on for some tips from The Mighty Miracle Man. Form a business structure. There are many different types of business structures, and an LLC makes sense for most small business owners. If you don’t have the time or money to connect with an attorney, you can use an online formation service to file yourself. As an LLC, your personal finances are cushioned against liability if something is wrong with your business. Stay organized online. Most businesses these days can be run remotely with the right tools. For example, with online document storage in the cloud, you can store important documents and share them through digital communication channels. Having online records is a huge convenience for business owners, especially if mobility issues keep you from moving back and forth quickly between your office and your home. Get to know your resources. As a person with disabilities, you may have resources at your disposal not necessarily available to everyone. And, if you’re a disabled veteran, you’ll have even more opportunities. According to The Office Of Small Business Programs to The Department of Defense, veteran resources include the Boots To Business Program, Bunker Labs, Procurement Technical Assistance Centers, and Veteran Women Igniting The Spirit of Partnership. Get the right kind of help. Running a business is not a one-man or woman job. The most efficient businesses are run by talented individuals with complementary skill sets. While you may be an expert in the field you work in, it never hurts to have others on your side and payroll. An office manager is a great example. This is an individual that will perform administrative, financial, and human resources duties on your behalf. Handle marketing early, and keep an eye on your progress. Marketing is one of the most important aspects of running any new business. WordStream acknowledges the hard work that goes into marketing, but getting a new product or service to the market is crucial to your success. A few things you might do in this vein of thought are to offer customer previews, claim your online listings, and host a social media promotion. At its core, content marketing is about creating engaging and valuable content to drive targeted traffic to your business. With the right approach, content marketing can be one of the most effective tools in your arsenal for growing both online and offline customer relationships. By providing high-quality and meaningful content on a consistent basis, you will be able to earn the trust of potential customers and position yourself as a knowledgeable source of information in your field.

This is called a niche. Make sure that your business stands out from the crowd in whatever way makes the most sense for you. To figure out what your niche should be, get to know yourself. You also need to engage with your audience and, perhaps most importantly, identify market gaps that leave some consumers wanting and then fill their needs. People with disabilities today have more entrepreneurship options than ever. The availability of remote work and a national push for more disability inclusion have been a boon to disabled entrepreneurs across the board. Today’s tips, which include staying organized online, forming a business structure, compiling your resources, getting help, marketing, and specializing within your industry, can help you establish and maintain the business you’ve always wanted.
