Starting A Business In Ireland Was Easier Than I Ever Thought?

If You Are Thinking of Starting an Online Business In Ireland?
Here Are 4 Things You Must Do.

First and foremost, learn as much as possible. Learn about your profession and the skills you need to run a business and succeed.

That is why I went back to university to study for a digital marketing and analytics degree, the course has shaped my expertise and built my passion for digital marketing. 

Do not get me wrong, I am not suggesting you to go back university and spend years studying digital marketing. 

Because there are so many other ways to learn digital marketing, for instance, workshops, online courses, YouTube videos, read articles and blog posts, and start your own website or social media channels. 

Second, setting up your business.  Register your business in Ireland. The easy way to do this is find a company like Company setup.ie, they will help you to register your business within a few days, usually less than a week. They also provide accountant service that you will need to run your business, for instance, register your business with Irish tax revenue office and beneficial ownership with RBO, etc. 

 After complete all the legal requirements, you are officially a business owner. 

The next important thing is to register with your local enterprise office(LEO). You will need all the supports they provide, sign up with their weekly newsletter, attend their training and events. 

As a new business start up, you will need a website, LEO offers up to 2,500 euros in grants to build your business website and digital marketing services. It is called trading online vouchers

LEO also provide one to one mentor service to business owners and organise events across Ireland and UK. The majority of trainings and events are free or with very little cost. 

Third, networking.  Attend events and conferences, and build relationships. Starts with LEO, and register with Eventbrite. Keep eye on your industry events throughout the year, attend all of them if you can. Meet people, talk to them, connect them on social media. Build relationships online and offline.  

The final thing is dedication, passion and persistence. Starting a business is easy, but to grow a business is hard, it requires continual learning, adaptation, and dedication. It’s a journey that proves you can build a successful business with persistence and passion. 

So, be prepared for up and downs, struggles and satisfaction of doing what you love.

Starting A Business In Ireland

Starting a business in Ireland may seem very easy initially, but to have a successful business is never easy. 

For instance, building an online business involves a lot of hard work, dedication, grit and passion for what you do. I personally think passion is the driver of success. You must enjoy what you do; even if you are not paid for it, you still love doing it. And that is passion. 

Once you have the passion, the rest of the hard work, dedication, grit, etc. will come naturally. 

Building a sustainable and successful online business should be a lifelong goal. 

Customer satisfaction is the cornerstone of a successful online business: nurture relationships, provide value, and listen to feedback. 

Keep sharpening the professional skills and stay updated in the field. With patience and resilience, an online business can flourish into a rewarding venture that empowers dreams and customers’ needs.

You probably won’t start an online business, start a business you are passionate about. But I want to tell you not to fear change because change is not scary. 

Change is a process of improving yourself and learning new skills. Trust me, When you finally take that step to make the change, you will regret you should have done it earlier. 

Starting a business in Ireland is easy, but building a successful business is not. But with dedication, hard work, and determination, anything is possible.
I know hard work does not always pay off, but without hard work, success is just a fantasy.
If you are just like me hungry for success, let's work together to make that happen.
