[Hua11.com Original] "I hate it to death. I don't like this job now. I want to quit immediately to learn floral art and then open a flower shop!" Bold words like these are heard every once in a while. 😊

Flowers are so wonderful that they attract many people to enter this industry. This is a very positive phenomenon. Moreover, the broad prospects of floral art will generate a large enough market capacity to accommodate these practitioners, and this situation will persist for a long time (you can refer to the analysis in this article: [Hua11.com · Industry Analysis] How much profit can a flower shop make? Are flowers a huge profit? How is the floral industry?.

However, have you realized that to open a flower shop or a floral studio, you need not only craftsmanship but also, more importantly, business knowledge? Both craftsmanship and business operation are not skills that can be mastered quickly. They require a relatively long period of experience accumulation. Why is the course validity of Hua11.com's Practical Floral Training model up to one year, and why are all craftsmanship courses combined with business operation? It's because we ourselves operate a chain brand flower shop and understand this truth very well. So, we designed such a system to ensure effective student learning.

If you quit your job first and then learn craftsmanship and business knowledge, the risk you will face is that from the time you quit your job until you generate income from floral art, the period when you have no output (that is, no income) may be relatively long, but you still have to cover your living expenses. Trust me, the feeling of "sitting idle and eating away your savings" is quite unpleasant. I've experienced it deeply.

So, if you have a choice, we suggest prioritizing learning while working (not as an apprentice, though—you can't learn the real thing as an apprentice). The reason is explained in [Hua11.com · Career Analysis Series 3] How to choose a flower arrangement training institution? A detailed comparison of 4 learning methods The learning system at Hua11.com fully considers these situations. You can choose to make an appointment for classes during your rest time. The schedule is very flexible, and there's no need to take special leave to attend classes continuously (unlike most other training institutions that conduct learning in fixed sessions).

Once your courses are completed and your craftsmanship is well-practiced, consider operating part-time (as discussed in [Hua11.com · Marketing First Step Series 5] How to start a part-time flower business?). Continuously accumulate experience and customer resources. When you've accumulated enough and your cash flow is stable, you can think about quitting your job and going full-time to open a flower shop or a studio. This approach provides a relatively stable career planning route.

Of course, everyone's situation is different, so adjust according to your actual circumstances. But the general idea remains: reduce the risk of career change by "lengthening the learning period, learning while working, and operating part-time first and then full-time."
