There are so many resources to assist small business owners. Please do your research and take advantage of the opportunities. The daily grind and hustle of trying to make it all work definitely keep you busy, but you have to find the time to network and apply for bids or projects. Please know that I do try to abide by my advice. I spent several hours for two days this week doing the necessary paperwork to help my business grow.

Entrepreneurs, this is a crucial piece of advice - don’t forget to market yourself. Social media is an important tool when it comes to sharing your brand. Let your clients and potential customers know that you have an online identity. Keep your website updated and post often to your sites. Blogging can be another way to share your services. Decide on a topic or area that will be your main focus. Then, find a platform to disseminate the message. I start with the blog section on my website and share the story on my social media sites.

As business owners, we also cannot be afraid to learn something new every day. I love discovering a new strategy or technique that will help my clients. We must invest in ourselves. This means attending workshops or buying the equipment needed to advance. We have to sacrifice a little now for major successes later.
