ADVICE FOR ENTREPRENEURS
Indeed you might ask, how can an entrepreneur need advice from a fellow entrepreneur?
Well I will answer; because not all of the ones out have life and or business experience.
That being said I would like to share a few thoughts that may help others that currently freelance, own a small or large business, or are in plans to do so.
First bit of advice is regarding FOUNDATION!
In order to build yourself in your field you need to have a strong foundation, much like a house. if you’re weak you will need to be strong.
Your team reflects highly of who you are. You must also have a strong team.
Together you will excel and be able to meet your business goals and satisfy the goals in your business relationships.
Second; you need to have GOALS in order to meet them right?
Think about what drives you?, what motivates you? Then think about how you can achieve everything necessary to meet the goals you set. GOOD now that you’ve done so LISTEN UP.
INVEST IN YOURSELF, AND YOUR GOALS
If you want to be a professional be a damn good one. Research your profession or craft, invest in the thing that you need.
Things I advise are but not limited to; formal training in your craft or line of business, tools required such as software programs to utilize or equipment and or instruments if your profession requires them.
For example:
If you’re an actor take classes, obtain experience on set and off set (volunteer, network, and expand your knowledge while doing so) to then pursue paid work. Purchase different wardrobe options so that you may submit for different castings (nurse, doctor, cop, fireman, lawyer, etc) It will land you more options.
Obtain as much EXPERIENCE as you can, you will then be in high demand. In ANY form of business, this is important.
That being said, expanding on that need for experience in all businesses you can establish and maintain internships or apprenticeships where eventually you can then get a job referral based on the “show and prove” method. Show your WORK ETHIC prove you’re worthy.
Once you’ve established your existence in your business community begin to think about your next steps.
How can I create a steady income?
How can I obtain the tools I need for my goals moving forward?
Who can I offer my business to and how do I do so?
ETC.
EXTRA STEPS ONCE THE BALL IS ROLLING FOR YOU:
Protect yourself.
Protect your content.
What do I mean by “protect yourself and your content” ?
Obtain all individuals needed that will protect you and your business.
Lawyers specific to your business.
Legal ownership and rights to your content, so that all are protected.
and more.
TO BE CONTINUED.
-This is a small portion of my advice to anyone who is an entrepreneur. For more details, to ask me questions, or to seek referrals for anything i mentioned, please feel free to write me a message I will reply.
