If you’re stuck, join me this week to get your questions answered. Whether you’re thinking of starting a business or are struggling with one, ask what’s on your mind, and I’ll answer. If you don’t have burning questions, tune in to see what other founders are struggling with. Some questions I’ll address:
-How and where to start a business.
-1 year into it and barely making it, what to do next? -Should you niche down or go broad?
-Struggling to land high-value clients?
-Not sure how to stand out in a crowded market?
-I own a construction company that specializes in exteriors, and another electrical business. I started this with a goal to sell in 5 years. How would you scale?
-Well I work a full time job so I don’t have time to sell as much as I’d like. I do as much as I can outside of work. Thoughts on how to maximize the time I have for lead generation?
-My business constraint would definitely be generating leads. I spent 9,000 in my first year on Facebook ads for my business and got back maybe half that in client retainers.
-I struggle with finding freelancers to give tasks, marketing and increasing prices, even though the competition charges more For a similar product.
