Creating Your Dream Business: Tips from the Encore Entrepreneur Podcast
Are you tired of the traditional nine-to-five grind and dreaming of starting your own business? In the latest episode of the Encore Entrepreneur podcast, host Lori Lyons shares valuable insights on how to create your dream business.
Lori emphasizes the importance of knowing your passion and finding something that sustains you through difficult times. However, she also acknowledges that not everyone will be as passionate about your business as you are, so it’s crucial to determine if there is a need for it in the market.
To stand out from the competition, Lori suggests playing to your strengths and finding a unique value proposition. She encourages listeners to find their own “funny money lady” like her accountability partner, Melissa, who has a unique selling point.
While business plans may not be everyone’s favorite task, Lori notes that they are not always necessary from the start and can evolve as the business grows. She advises focusing on setting up the infrastructure of the business, such as legal and tax considerations.
Lori also stresses the importance of having a marketing strategy, which can take clients on a journey that makes sense and helps the business stand out. She encourages listeners to keep learning and adapting, swiveling like one foot while the other stays still.
