You're... Ready to Rock!
Congrats on completing the "Do you have what it takes to start your own business? quiz!" According to your results, you're sitting pretty. When it comes to entrepreneurship, you know your Ps, Qs, and everything in between.You’re not entering into your new business blindly, au contraire. You’ve sorted out nearly everything you need to make your startup a success. But life’s all about the curve balls, and you never know what might get thrown your way... but, we're here to help you on your way!“The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.” – Walt DisneyThree easy tips to make your startup a smash hit success...1. Build your email listSocial media is great, but you don’t own your reach there. At any moment, the platform could change, or lock you out, or even disappear, and you have lost your audience in a blink. Email may sound old school, but it is still the best way to reach your customers, and it's one of the few ways to reach them that you have complete control over. 2. Study Your CompetitionYou want to stand out in your market (obviously), and in order to do that, you need to know what everyone else is doing first.Knowing what they are doing, will allow you to find your niche, exploit untapped opportunities, and really set yourself apart from the rest of the pack. Also if you are starting out, it's a great way to accelerate your learning curve, by seeing what's already working and what isn't, and finding inspiration. 3. Find a MentorIt’s widely recognized that people with mentors, grow their careers or their businesses faster than those without.It makes sense, having someone who has walked that same path before and reached a level of success you are still striving for, will be able to help you navigate the same path more quickly than you going it alone. "Who’s the entrepreneur behind all these business tips?" I’m glad you asked...Hey there 👋 I’m Kristy Carruthers, founder and CEO of SHEcorporated. I am here to help you navigate your path as an entrepreneur!Your dreams can 100% be a reality – but, let me tell you, it’s so easy to get overwhelmed when you’re starting out.How do I know? Well, I’ve been there, too.I had a big idea, and a desire to create a life where my time was my own, my earning potential was unlimited, and I could provide security for my family.I had to learn how to do it all from scratch, googling my way from one step to the next, and hoping I wasn’t missing anything important.It's tough to know what questions to ask, because as they say "You don't know what you don't know". That makes it SO easy to miss important details, and those mistakes can cost a ton of time and money down the road.As I got better at building businesses, and created a formula for starting each new business, I looked for ways I could take what I had learned, and use a simple step by step process to make it a bit easier for other women to start their own successful businesses. That’s how the idea for SHEcorporated came about. As a way to reach out to as many potential women entrepreneurs as possible. To support each other, to create a community of women, cheering each other on, sharing each others wins, and sharing the experience of starting their own business.Not sure where to begin?
