Thinking about starting a business? You've probably heard the usual advice—have a great idea, provide value, and start selling. But what about the steps no one talks about? When should you file an LLC? How do you handle taxes, get funding, or take advantage of small business loans and grants?
In this episode, I break down the real process of starting and growing a successful business—from validating your idea and building a solid business plan to managing finances and scaling smartly.
Learn from my experience of building six businesses and a nonprofit, plus the lessons I wish I knew when I started. Whether you're launching a side hustle or building the next big thing, this episode will set you up for success!
