This resonates with me. My first small business was a second-hand clothing store with a very small investment, and it helped me buy my first apartment. Later, I opened my first private nursery in my own home, starting from one room and a basement play area. That small beginning eventually grew into my current kindergarten and nursery business. Small tests can become real businesses when they are built with discipline, responsibility, and persistence. I’m looking forward to following your next phase.
Thank you, Eve. I’m based in Hungary, and I spend part of the year in Florida.
The examples I shared were two different small-business chapters from my life. My first small business was a second-hand clothing store, started with a very small investment, and it helped me buy my first apartment.
Later, I built a construction company that developed 110 apartments in 10 apartment buildings. After the global financial crisis, I had to close that chapter. After a very difficult search for a new direction, I found the idea of a private nursery. I had no capital left, so I started the first one in my own home.
One year later, I renovated one of my unused properties, and my private kindergarten and nursery still operate there today. I also have another location operating through a franchise partner.
That is why your Business Test concept resonates with me. I know how real businesses are born, especially in a Central European environment where business thinking often has to be built from behind, with fewer models, less structure, and more resistance. Not from theory, but from testing, necessity, discipline, and persistence.

No way that is so cool. Where abouts are you based? You in the UK?

Looking forward to it! 🎉
This feels like a much more realistic way to learn what actually works.
