  • Ep 48 | Time For A Roadmap
    Jun 7 2023

    Welcome back to Clearing the Way. A resource for small business. I talk with sales and HR experts, other small business owners, and anyone else that can provide you with information to clear your way to success. 

    You’ve gone through the steps we discussed last week and determined there is a demand for your product or service. Time to open those doors, right?

    Let's hold off just a bit longer, if we can. Let's set some clear goals, figure out why we are starting this business, and determine what steps need to be taken to get where we want to go.

    May 31 2023

    Welcome back to Clearing the Way. A resource for small business. I talk with sales and HR experts, other small business owners, and anyone else that can provide you with information to clear your way to success. 

    Today’s topic is market demand. One of the many common reasons many small businesses don’t end up working out. It is something that is easy to overlook. You’ve got an idea. You’ve got a product. You get super amped up and excited about it. The research can wait, right? 

    Probably not...
