Entrepreneur Tips

In our last VIA Entrepreneurs Circle, we asked attendees to share the three best tips they have received. Below are those gems.

July 2, 2024

• Allow yourself a day off at least every seven days, especially if your business is in your home!

• Always remember your “Why”!

• Ask for help and pay for experts in areas that are not your strength.

• Attend events and meetings even if you are not sure you belong.

• Be authentic!

• Be honest. Awkward conversations are better than passive aggressions.

• Be your biggest cheerleader.

• Breathe, it will work out.

• Build your support system.

• If it’s not broken, don’t fix it!

• Instead of always resorting to “crisis mode,” determine what “crisis” means to your business and then, only then, go into crisis mode.

• It’s all about creating systems and still not discounting your magic.

• Know your audience. Your product or service is not for everyone but it is for someone and that’s your audience.

• Love your field (skills, etc.) so you present with energy and light.

• Make time for play and creativity!

• No matter where you are, network, network, network, and do so happily, attitude is important.

• Say a daily affirmation every morning and post it near you.

• Stay current in your field.

• Stay positive to bring this energy into your life.

• Take notes on every conversation.

• Talk to similar businesses outside your city for ideas and help. This will feel less competitive and they may give you great ideas.
