Peter Belisi's story

Here is the perfect story of how someone can start their own business using a niche they already have and be successful. You can read about how the designer Peter Belisi got his modest start on his blog entry, Belisi - How it Started. He talks about how he had no money to speak of and a wife and baby to feed, but he wanted to start his own business. He wanted to do something he enjoys, but make a good living doing it. He had no ideas, but he could see who the successful were and tried to emulate them by dressing like them. He amassed a nice tie collection and was praised by his eye for detail, so to speak, and that’s when it hit him, he could design ties, scarves, and other accessories so others could afford to dress the way that the Palm Beach elite dressed. He opened that business and has gained success with it. He is working his way upward and onward.
The story is not only inspirational, but it shows that anyone can find that niche and run with it to be successful. He didn’t come from a designer background, he wasn’t apprenticed by some other successful designer and then pushed off on his own to succeed. He found his niche and he earned his success. With the will and drive of Peter Belisi, along with the right niche and idea, you can be successful too. It’s inspiring to read his story to anyone wanting to start this own business. He’s also an entertaining writer as well and he makes his blog entries fun. When you get a few minutes, definitely check it out.
