Do your own research and allot of it. You can never dig too deep into something you are about to spend your time money and energy on.
Also, when you find the direction you want to go... Get skin in the game as soon as possible. This makes you accountable to yourself and will keep you driving forward.
If you fail, good, fail again... Keep failing, because it by our mistakes that we learn and perfect things! Don’t be scared to get your hands dirty. It’s only by learning what doesn’t work is when you will find the thing that does. Even if it is the 1000th try, lol.
Oh yeah, and build your brand and following and such, lol. That’s all important too, lol.
Get some skin in the game!
Brilliant advice. And I think we try so hard to nickel and dime things, we don't have that investment in our business. Doesnt need to be thousands, but enough to keep our head in the game.
Yes being willing to fail is important. There have definitely been times when I was held back by that fear.
I guess I am thick headed. I have failed so many times as a marketer it makes me wonder sometimes why I keep on trying.
I guess I just really want it.
Honestly I would prefer to avoid failing but you learn the most out of it. So I think its good to just keep learning every time you fail.
it is very important to get in sooner than later. Don't let indecision be the reason you do not start you new business. Commit to it and move forward.
Dominos Pizza founder Tom Monaghan failed many times before achieving success. Today Dominos is the #2 Pizza Chain second only to Pizza Hut. You are correct in that fail and fail again, in fact success is just a series of failures :-)
