Has anyone else ever tried t start their own side business, but felt like they had zero luck getting started? In recent months, I have found a love for buying and refurbishing furniture. I have started a Facebook page and am. attempting to expand my small business, however it is ridiculously hard to get any kind of client base or following! I have had one project that I was hired to do, but since have not seen anyone else show interest in my work. Is it the trying times in finances for the majority right now? Are people no longer interested in small businesses? It's quite discouraging, however I must prevail.
