6 Struggles of Starting a New Business While in School

6. Not being taken serious
I may be young and I may still be in school, but why does that mean I can't have my own business? If I have the talent and will power I will make it happen.  Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates started things on their own when they were just in college! So why can't I do it too? Never say can't!!

5. Location
Living away from home and at school does make things a little difficult when trying to build my new business.  My school may not be in the best location to connect with people in my hometown, but why not take advantage of all the people that are around in college? This way I can actually spread awareness of my business to people from different areas!

4. Having another job
Well when I started this business adventure I wasn't working or in school at the moment and I didn't realize how much time my jobs would occupy my free time.

3. Work Space
Living in a dorm I don't really have that much room to begin with so I definitely don't have enough room here to have a permanent workshop/work space to set up an area for my new business.

2.Passion vs. Responsibilities
I want to work on growing my new business, but I also know I have to focus on school and put as much effort into my school work as I can.  I have to be able to balance what I want to do and what I have to do.

1. Time Management
The fact that I have to go to classes, do homework and work my 2 jobs while I want to begin my new business endeavor time management is key.  I know that school comes first and I will be done soon, while my business can last for years to come.  I am lucky to be able to do school work while working both my jobs, which helps!
