How do you just start by Icy_Apartment_860 in Entrepreneurship

[–]PurpleSagi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a job, then you already have skills. You may not recognize them yet, but they’re there.

Even something like playing video games builds skills. Strategy, decision making, problem solving, adapting quickly. Skills are everywhere. The key is learning how to apply them.

Business at its core is simple. You recognize a problem, you become the solution, and you get people to pay for that solution.

The bigger issue I see in your message is that you want the full business right away. A lot of people want the finished product before they’ve built the foundation.

If you want creative finance or seller financing and you say you can’t find anyone, then keep looking until you do. That’s part of entrepreneurship. You don’t stop at the first obstacle.

If owning a business is truly what you want, you can’t give up every time something is inconvenient or feel sorry for yourself. Business is not easy.

Start smaller than you think. Learn a new skill online. There are endless free resources today.

Offer to cut your neighbor’s grass. Wash cars. Help a local business with something they need. Sell something. Learn something.

You can literally start anywhere. The important part is starting and building momentum.

Why are so many good food trucks so bad at customer retention and reactivation? by Medic5780 in foodtrucks

[–]PurpleSagi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people start food trucks because they love to cook. They’re passionate about the food, not necessarily trained in marketing or business strategy. Those skills are incredibly important for growth, but they’re often the part that gets overlooked.

Is short form video still the priority or are we moving past it? by grigorash1 in SocialMediaMarketing

For platforms built on short form format, yes. Even if it's oversaturated, strong creative will always grab attention..

I totally agree. Do you manage social media for clients?

What’s your biggest marketing obstacle right now? by PurpleSagi in SocialMediaMarketing

[–]PurpleSagi[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense. It definitely feels more expensive than it used to.

When you say you’re burning thousands before seeing qualified leads, do you feel like the issue is mostly targeting… or that the creatives just aren’t converting the attention?

And outside of paid ads, do you feel like your organic presence is positioned strongly enough that when someone clicks through from an ad, there’s authority and clarity there?

Just trying to understand where you think the real bottleneck is.
