This Week I learned a lot from the marketing class, and that is that there are so many different things to consider when starting a business. The internet truly changed the way businesses work, and it is evolving every single day. If you choose to be in business on the web, you must continue to educate yourself on new technology, and new ways to reach your customers.

This week, as I considered the steps to starting a business I realized how many different ways there are to go about starting. I have not used the keyword planning tool, but I played around with it for a while, and it made me realize there really is just a tremendous amount of competition out there. I can see how it can be overwhelming, and scary to even start thinking of a new idea. The thing is, you have to figure out a way to be different. You have to do what everyone else is doing in a better way, a way that makes you stand out, and a way that solves a problem for people. You also have to want to be doing it. It is clear it will never be easy, and you will probably make a lot of mistakes. If you believe in what you are doing, it will be easier to want to push through the hard times.
