What is your best advice to a budding entrepreneur?
My best advice for anyone just starting their own business is PATIENCE! I unfortunately did not take this advice well and often pushed things to move much more quickly than I should have and ended up not getting the results I intended. In the beginning stages you are so excited and energized that you can't help but want things to move fast. You're afraid someone will take your idea... your afraid you might run out of time or maybe you just want the success of it all to come now. Buckle up... sit tight and enjoy the ride 'cause it's a long one. Take the time to build your network of supporters, research and most of all, trust. Good luck!
What is a must-have site or resource all entrepreneurs should know and follow?
I would have to say the best resource for me has been social media specifically Twitter and Facebook. I'm sure you might have heard that before, but it is an essential part of anyone's successful business right now especially with the economy. It is here where you connect with like-minded people, groups and events that support what you are doing all for free. Not to mention you have the capability to connect with people outside of your tiny local hometown and network with people across the country. I'm not sure I would have gotten this far without it.
Quote or Book ‘to live by’
Aaahhh, yes, my two favorite quotes I live by are: "Where there's a will, there's a way." and "Be the change you want to see in the world." I am also a fan of Eckhart Tolle's book, The Book of Now - these quotes and book have encouraged me to find strength in myself to see that my message filters through to as many people as I can reach and even pushing my limits beyond my comfort zone, and all the while enjoying every moment of it. Well almost every moment. :)
