From Kitchen Table to Business Ebook + Workbook | Sandra C.
You don't have to be perfect. You just have to begin.
Have you ever dreamed about starting your own business but kept thinking:
I don't have enough money.
I don't know where to start.
What if nobody buys from me?
What if I make a mistake?
Maybe I should wait until I'm more prepared.
Sandra C. understands those thoughts because she's had them too.
From Kitchen Table to Business isn't written from the perspective of someone who has already reached the top and has every answer figured out.
It's written by a woman who is still building.
What started with a desire to make extra income and create something of her own became Urban Princesses, a family-centered body-care business built with basic supplies, fragrance samples, a handheld mixer, a kitchen table—and a lot of learning along the way.
Inside this real-life guide, Sandra shares the parts of entrepreneurship that aren't always shown on social media: uncertainty, limited startup money, the first nervous vendor event, repeat customers, pricing struggles, inventory mistakes, bookkeeping, grants, marketing, comparison, distractions, family support, learning to ask for help, and figuring things out while the business is already moving.
There is no pretending that every decision was perfect.
That's the point.
You don't have to know everything before you begin.
Inside you'll learn about:
- Starting a business when you don't have a huge budget
- Turning an idea into an actual product
- Creating a business identity and brand
- Understanding that your price has to cover more than what's inside the jar
- Finding and learning from your first customers
- Marketing when nobody knows your business yet
- Preparing for vendor events
- Using grants and other resources to help your business grow
- Keeping better track of expenses, receipts, inventory and bookkeeping
- Learning from mistakes instead of allowing them to stop you
- Staying focused when everything in the business seems to need your attention
- Using AI and other tools to work smarter
- Building a support system around your business
- Creating a vision for where you want your business to go
And you're not just getting something to read.
From Kitchen Table to Business also includes a Business Starter Workbook designed to help you start putting what you're learning into action.
You'll work through your business idea, startup needs, product costs, expenses, inventory, vendor-event preparation, funding goals, visibility, your five-year vision, your next 12 months, and more.
This book isn't here to tell you that building a business will always be easy.
It's here to remind you that uncertainty doesn't mean you can't start.
You can learn.
You can make mistakes.
You can change things.
You can ask for help.
You can start small.
And you can keep building.
Your business may start at a kitchen table. That doesn't mean it has to stay there.
