Takeaways:
- Before you make the big step into starting a business, scope out the marketing businesses around you. Learn if your concept will work.
- When starting your business, create small milestones to hit. Creating these milestones will help prevent any stressful encounters along the way.
- Have a business partner during the beginning of your business. Having a business partner will help lighten the workload and can help run ideas off of them.
- Remember to keep your coworkers in mind. Be up to date with how they are liking your company and if they have any concerns. If you don’t look out for your team it could cause the company to fail. Know your CORE values.
- Before you dive into your role, do some research on it. You don’t want to jump into cold waters when you are inexperienced.
