What is the state of entrepreneurship today? Jessica Freeman, founder of Jess Creatives, took a survey of 200 business owners and came up with some surprising insights. This groundbreaking study sheds light on various aspects such as email marketing effectiveness, the use of CRM and project management tools, the prevalence of solopreneurship, revenue realities, and the degree of team support in small businesses. With insights derived from analyzing dozens of responses, we get into what surprised us most and what we analyze as the actual state of online entrepreneurship, the challenges of scalability vs. client acquisition, and the stark differences between perceived financial success and the reality for most entrepreneurs. Trust us, this data is going to leave you with more knowledge of what others are doing right and what everyone could improve on.
