TIPS TO START YOUR BUSINESS WITH CONFIDENCE

•  SEEK OUT SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE IN YOUR FIELD:

 If you know of established individuals who are in the same business as you, reach out to them. Your startup is not a threat. Pick their brains for advice. If the leader of the company is on the speaking circuit or writes and shares information through social media, there is a good chance he or she will be available to meet or get on a phone call.

•  NEVER LET THEM SEE YOU SWEAT:

 Each day will not be perfect. Just know that getting discouraged from time to time is part of the business-building process. The key is to avoid letting your customers or employees see you sweat!

•  JOIN A LIKE MINDED GROUP:

 Support from friends, family or strangers can go a long way. Nowadays, social media contacts can quickly become very useful "friends."Local meetups are also a good way to meet people in person. These are the places to ask questions and exchange information.

•  FOCUS ON ONE BUSINESS STEP AT A TIME:

 A good friend of mine loves to use the expression, "Don't compare your business beginning to another's middle." As a new entrepreneur, it is easy to look at the competition and think that is where you need to be. But if your competition has been at it for several years longer than there is no way you should expect to be at the same place. Your competitor has spent years making their mistakes and growing. Run your own race and focus on taking one business step at a time.
