• Too many get stuck in the business plan phase. By the time you make money, it will be an entirely different plan. #smallbizchat #
• I’d argue that it needs to be updated nearly weekly in the startup phase. Too many opportunities. #smallbizchat #
• Read the trade journals of your target market. That way you are savvy to their pains. #smallbizchat #
• Q7 one of the most interesting resources for startups, not for smallbiz people is http://markpeterdavis.com/ #smallbizchat #
• Q7 – never use handmade cards. Even the freebies from @vistaprintdeals are better than those DIY cards. #smallbizchat #
• Q8 back to funding. Start a business without starting a business by talking to prospects. That will get you started. #smallbizchat #
• Q8 It depends on whether it’s a startup business or a lifestyle business. Lifestyle businesses use traditional sources (banks) #smallbizchat #
• Q8 startups are an entirely different animal. They are built with exit in mind. Outside funding is typical. Go to @TheFunded #smallbizchat #
• Q9 get video testimonials from your customers. Manage references on LinkedIn. Go out of your way to excite them. #smallbizchat #
• Q9 always be ready to change your business model. Your initial idea will be refined. Audiences may shift. #smallbizchat #
• Q9 work on your public speaking and sales skills. You are always selling. Be able to explain in 30 seconds. #smallbizchat #
