50 Secrets to Bootstrapping Million Dollar Companies
In a world where anyone can start an online business, you need the right business strategies to turn your idea into a fully fledged and profitable company. Starting, growing, and leading a business from the ground up can be difficult without outside investors — how most entrepreneurs start — so it is important that you know the steps to success through bootstrapping. Listen to this interview to learn how you can get started today.
Everything You’ll Need to Build and Grow Your Company
Diving into starting a business can be overwhelming when you think of all the aspects that you’ll need to build, develop, and set up others to perfect. Whether it is managing finances, building a reliable group of workers, leading and managing, prioritizing the next steps forward, or attracting customers to your product or service, you must be prepared. While you’ll be forced to learn on the fly from your own experiences, it’s smart to have a foundation that has been tested and proven by other entrepreneurs. In this interview, you’ll be introduced to the leading strategies that are driving Nathan/Connor to build million dollar companies.
Staying Focused On Growth By Building a Remote Worker Group
Leading and growing a business requires more hours than you can commit on a daily basis. At a certain point, you’re forced to hire other individuals and pass tasks off to them so you can stay focused on growth for the company. If you don’t, you’ll find yourself trapped. Listen as Connor/Nate speaks about how they have built remote worker groups to manage the business operations while they continue to push their companies forward. You’ll learn a step-by-step process that you can start using today to free up your business, spend less time doing, and more time growing.
