MINDSET is everything in entrepreneurship!

As an entrepreneur starting out, it is understandable that you might struggle with what to spend your money on because your finances are limited. You are probably self-funding your business until your business starts funding itself. So, it is reasonable that you are going to be discriminatory about the ways in which you spend money when it comes to your business. You want to make sure it will pay off.

However, despite our best efforts, there will be activities that we participate in that may not serve our interests. Whether it is a networking experience or a business seminar, there are always going to be things that we only realize after attending, that this was not beneficial for us. It is called trial and error. Sometimes you have to charge it to the game. It can’t always be a win in business. Part of being in business is you are going to experience some disappointments and failures. You are going to spend money you don’t have to participate in events that you are interested in. Hopefully, you have enough bad experiences to know exactly the way you should go. Every disappointment comes with a lesson and these lessons are vital for the kind of direction you need to go in your business.

You are a perpetual student when you are a small business owner. You should always be investing in ongoing education on how to conduct your business and information as it pertains to your industry. If you stop learning, your business will stop growing. If you stop going to networking events, you won’t make any new connections for your business. Social media should not be the only way you connect. Your social media is just a tool to obtain more leads but should be one of many tools you use as a business owner. If you become overly dependent on social media for all your business needs, you will be very disappointed.

We are committed to help new entrepreneurs like us develop professionally. We have an event on June 22nd that we have created to further the interests of new entrepreneurs who value connections and education. It is our Mentor Matchmaking Event. It is an opportunity not only to network but to meet connections that can teach you about your respective industry. Our curated panel of Mentors will meet with you one on one so that you can vet them and decide if you want to move forward with the Mentoring relationship. We are excited to bring this event to you and hope this will be one for the books!

See you soon!!!
