episode 6: Don't Build Your Business Alone | Ep. 006
Launching a branding business was a tricky process for Brandon because he didn’t really have any marketing connections from his former line of corporate work. Thankfully, he was able to seek out a few communities that made his next steps more confident and purposeful, and through coaching and free resources was able to grow his own brand to where it is today.
In this episode, Brandon Birkmeyer debunks the myth that starting your own business means starting completely from scratch, discusses how to hire the right coach for you, and suggests how you can avoid some of the basic mistakes beginners make.
The Finer Details of This Episode:
- You don’t have to start from scratch; other colleagues in your industry can provide you with tried and true jumping-off points.
- Don’t let the independent entrepreneur mindset isolate you from advice and support!
- The industry is full of resources—some premium, some completely free. Use them!
- Avoid making big mistakes by speaking to the industry veterans who’ve made those very mistakes themselves on their way up.
- Don’t be afraid to hire a coach! Brandon has tips for vetting the right one.
