There’s nothing like owning a business to develop the insights that can help other entrepreneurs find success. Part of the benefit is building relationships with professionals who have skills that complement my own:
- I do words. . .concepts. . .strategies – the ideas that flesh out the ideas others bring. Starting a business is easy. Growing it – profitably – is far more difficult.
- The people we work with at Kendall Communications have varied but important skills.
- Social media. What’s available. How best to use it.
- Photography. Videography. Graphic Design.
- People issues. Hiring-firing-managing.
- Numbers. The folks who keep track of how you’re doing. CPAs and bookkeepers.
- Banking, finance.
- Legal stuff, including contracts that keep you out of trouble.
If we don’t have the resources you need, our friends likely do. The key is to think. … turn thoughts into a plan… adapt that plan, because the market will determine how your business truly lives… and remember that profits matter most.
