Welcome back to The Pulse of Marketing, where we break down the game of marketing so you can win with clarity, confidence, and integrity.

In today’s Marketing Monday episode, we’re diving into Building a Business with What You Have | Episode 30. You don’t need millions in the bank, fancy investors, or a tech team to get started; you need resourcefulness, strategy, and the right mindset.

This episode will show you how to start where you are, use what you’ve got, and scale smarter without breaking your budget. If you’ve ever felt stuck because of limited money, connections, or tools, this one’s for you.

By the end of Building a Business with What You Have | Episode 30, you’ll walk away with a step-by-step playbook to transform what looks like “not enough” into the exact advantage you need to build momentum and grow.

What You Will Learn:

✅ How to start a business with little or no money

✅ Ways to flip small wins into unstoppable momentum

✅ Strategic networking tips to build equity without capital

✅ The blueprint for designing a scalable business model from the ground up
