Starting a Buiness - Top Tips

Other Women's Top Tips

· Find something that you believe in and are passionate about.

· Seek out people who have the answers that you’re looking for.

· Tell everyone what you are doing, if they can't help they may know someone who can.

· Be generous to your networks, if you know someone that someone in your network would like to meet then let them know.

· Have someone make you accountable – it's very easy to make excuses as to why you should not carry out a certain task if you work on your own.    Business Link workshops are great places to meet people and you can keep in touch with them for longer term mutual support

· Bring in enough staff early on.  You can end up working 100 hours a week which is not good, especially when you have a family.

· Have a strong business plan and keep it updated.

· Always keep your eye out for new sources of business - the services that generate the most business are often not the ones you first expect.

· Use the internet – it will bring you in clients from all over the world.
