Leverage the experience of other entrepreneurs
I’m a business consultant and marketing teacher who’s helped tons of entrepreneurs grow their businesses from the ground up to 6 and 7 figures. and I have put together some quick tips to help you launch your entrepreneurial venture more smoothly.
Plan to create a lot of content
Can you think of a successful business that doesn’t have a social media profile or website? Seriously. Think about it. Every successful business has one or more accounts on Instagram, Facebook page, AND has a blog.
Why? You might ask. Well, creating engaging, highly shareable social media content is key to getting your brand out there. On top of that, it helps establish you as an expert in your field, so potential customers or clients feel that they can trust your products or services!
“It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you’ll do things differently.”

Grow your network
This tip is an oldie but a goodie… Success isn’t about what you do as much as who you know. When you invest time not only in meeting entrepreneurs from your industry but also is going above and beyond to help them, you’re building a support system. While competition certainly has its place, camaraderie can go even further in ensuring your business stays afloat. It’s also a lot more fun to experience entrepreneurial adventures with other like-minded people. So don’t be shy. Get out there and introduce yourself to some new people.
Work on your brand constantly
You’re more likely to buy from a friend than a business, but, luckily, your brand can *and should* be both. This comes down to a few things… First, make sure your product or service aligns with your message. On top of that, use consistent messaging across all social media platforms so that you know your ideal customer or client like the back of your hand! This’ll let them know that they mean more than you than just another sale. Once you have done this for a while, analyze the results and look for ways to make your brand better.
