👋 Clubhouse: Let’s Start a Business
This is the first of a series of Clubhouse rooms (monthly) that will take a deep dive into starting a business. Our moderators will introduce their why and share tips and guidance on how to start a business. If you miss the room, we will have Replays on so you can listen at your convenience.
Topic: Business Idea
You’ll need a (great) idea and of course. You’ll also have to do your research.
Some questions to ask yourself:
- Is my idea orginal? If not, how many other companies in my community have businesses based on their idea? If there are a substantial amount, you will have to figure out ways to differentiate yourself/business from the others.
- Mentor – Will help talk it out with you. Help guide you through that idea. Fly through that terbulance and “let it fly.”
- A mentor with a style that works for you and aligns with your goals
- Mentor – Will help talk it out with you. Help guide you through that idea. Fly through that terbulance and “let it fly.”
- Is there a market for my idea? What’s the market outlook on this industry? Has there been growth? Is there projected growth? Know your data. (Resources: your counties website, state, federal level).
