Take the guesswork out of starting a business

Think back to before you started your business: is there something you wish you’d known? No matter what experience you bring to the table, there is always a steep learning curve when launching your first – or any – business. Ask any founder, they probably have spent more time than they care to admit on figuring out what works best. Being in business means a lot of trial and error. 

Being able to forecast how the market will shift and react to your business is one thing, but knowing how to build a foundation that can adapt to its changing surroundings is a different matter. Once that’s in place, there is also the question of how to grow your business and mature your goals and practices.
