If I could start over, here’s what I would do

If I were to do it all over, here's what I would do in Year One of my business:

✅ Read and internalize the book “Lean Business Planning” by Tim Berry.

✅ Reach out to my network to check in and let them know about my freelancing status, following up at appropriate intervals.

✅ Set up a business bank account and link it to a basic bookkeeping software like QBO.

✅ Start posting on LinkedIn immediately to build my personal brand and connect with folks.

✅ Get super clear on my target market, then strategically connect with the decision makers at these organizations.

✅ Frequently have conversations with my target market, asking specific questions to uncover their needs and my opportunity to create services to help solve their problems.

✅ Start an email list and maybe even launch a newsletter (depending on my goals).

✅ Join a local professional organization to network in person.

Do you want to maximize your time to focus on landing the right clients and start making money?

👉 My tips above will help you do that.
