Before we get to it, I want to remind you guys of the giveaway that we have going on right now, where I'm going to be giving away some of my favorite resources as it relates to faith and business.

And then at the top of June, I'm going to choose somebody and make sure that you get these amazing resources.

So without further ado, here is part two of our episode. Let's answer some more questions.

The next question says, as someone getting started with their LLC, what are some tips you can give them? How are some creative ways to bring in customers?

The worst thing you can do as a business owner is go straight to tactics without understanding why you're doing what you're doing and the impact that.

Or understanding the impact that those activities are going to have on the business and towards your goals. I see this happens so much.

You decide you want to start this business. You create an Instagram. You start posting and then your mad while sales aren't coming in like hold on, hold on, hold on.

Let's backtrack for a second. Have you validated your idea? We talked about this.

Do you even know why you started a LLC? Do you know, do you even understand why that's the best business structure for what you're doing?

Do you in addition to validating your idea? Do you understand who your consumer is and what their buyer behavior is? Have you outlined the buyer's journey so that you know what you need to be presenting them at what time and why in order to increase your increase your chances of securing that sale?

There are so much more to business. And if you're going to start a business, you need to get really good at being the executive of that business and the activities that go into that to see the results that you want to see in your company.

And again, this is a huge like starting a business is very easy and the internet and influencers and everybody making looks like it's super easy and you have to know and I'm not it doesn't have to be super complicated or complex, but you just simply need to understand why you're doing what you're doing the impact of what you're doing.

And understanding this is the various decisions that go into building your business. So somebody getting started the same advice I say before validator idea and do a business plan.

You don't need to worry about ways to bring in customers yet. Go through the business plan first. There are so many more steps that you get to before you get to that point. We can't rush the process.

Otherwise, you'll have a sale here and there you might go viral and make some money and have no clue how to sustain it or you might go viral and miss out on money because you didn't have your stuff outlined correctly in the first place to maximize any exposure that you may get.
