If you could go back and give yourself advice on starting your buisness, what would you tell yourself?
I’d tell myself…
Dont be cheap! Charge more!
Hire professionals to do tasks like websites, accounting ect.
Market, market and sale, sale and sale some more!
@luke im with you on the “charge more” and the “market market market, sell sell sell”
i also think i should have held myself more accountable for my hours worked. if i couldnt go out and clean i should have been learning more of the business side of things.
I did not start our company, but from my perspective as the manager I would say “put it on paper”. my boss is awesome and very good at running the business, but most of that critical information has been in his head. He is slowly transitioning out of the day to day operations of the business and that responsibility has become mine. I am no where near as business savvy as him so we are working on creating process sheets, hiring and on boarding plans. it is an awesome thing to see the business moving forward, but we would have grown a little
quicker with more efficiency if these processes would have already been laid out on paper.
This is a great point. That is something we need to focus on as well. Putting everything on paper
Push, push, push! Give it my all! If I had this mindset 5 years ago, I’d be much further along by now. Make a plan, stick with it and push as hard as you can.
