FOUR STEPS TO MAKE IT ON YOUR OWN
STEP 1: DREAM IT + TEST IT
It's time to test out that dream you've been cultivating in your head or maybe it's already in test mode. Either way, it's time to give it a go to see if there's a demand beyond your spouse, parents and best friends.
STEP 2: ONE-PAGE BIZ PLAN
The art of the pivot and the tools to do so are key during this time, so be sure to watch this video above from Keith Holtaway (best known as the Pizza My Heart Founder) and also access all things Lean Canvas.
STEP 3: MARKETING PLAN
Ok, so you now need to get strategic about getting your customers! Just like in the video, I mention the 3 components, i.e. 1) business goal, 2) target customers associated with that goal + 3) marketing tactics to be where those potential customers hang out, whether offline or online.
Here's my MARKETING TRACKER to download below, where you can do all of the above including using the financial projection tab to work on your packaging, services, pricing, etc. so you hit the income + owner's draw you need. If you need some help in this department, I'm always happy to help, just message me and we can get you the help you need!
STEP 4: UTILIZE YOUR SBDC
It's time to lock down your foundational structure and take care of the pillars of your business to ensure you're on the right path. You local SBDC will help you for FREE.
