I think both product and service businesses are viable, you can’t call one harder than the other. What matters most is how you run the business, if you do it well, you will find it easy and successful. You just have to choose one that is best for you and gain all the knowledge and skills needed to run it to it’s success.

Both businesses have specific skills to make them successful. For instance, you will always need to have great marketing and customer service skills to run both businesses effectively. Therefore, how you run your business determines whether it is hard or not.

Yes, I think freelancing is still viable even for people who are just starting out. The major thing here is that you know what you are doing and have the right skills that you can sell to clients. You also need a good portfolio that showcases the work you have done, whether as a personal project or work you have done for another client.

Since there is so much competition already in freelancing, you need to set yourself as unique right from your profile to how you communicate with clients. Also, you will need to have another hustle that gives you a main income given that freelancing money is not stable.

Selling shoes is a very good business that you should definitely start. It is a business that has huge market. You will have to start by deciding whether you will be producing the shoes to sell or you will buy from dealers and sell them. Personally, I would go for buying whole sale and selling it at a higher price.

You also need to decide whether to sell all type of shoes or narrow down to selling ladies shoes, men shoes or children’s shoes. That way, you will clearly state your target audience.

Then prioritize doing marketing seriously, both offline and online. Social media sites like Facebook can be so good for promoting shoes because people get attracted by good pictures.

A drunkard can rarely manage their money well, especially when they are alcoholic. Their judgements tend to be impaired and so they cannot budget their money and even if they do, they won’t follow up with it carefully. They end up prioritizing alcohol over important needs like food and housing.

Alcohol and drugs can also affect their jobs due to being late for work or providing low quality work. This can lead to demotion from their positions at work and even being fired. That ends up affecting their financial life badly and they may struggle so much.

I think you should start saving once you start earning money, even a small amount. This is the best time to practice and train yourself on this useful habit that will eventually lead you to being a pro saver and reaching financial heights.

You can start saving whether you have a plan or not. With time, you will find use for that money if you had no plan. But I like the idea of saving for business startup, it ends up being a good investment that leads you to financial security.
