I would love to sit down with any listener who is thinking about starting a business or has a business. I'm happy to spend some time and talk to your listeners about their idea.

Anybody that wants to chat with me, my email is just [email protected]

They can email me and I'll give them my calendar link so that they can book some time at their convenience. We'll sit down and figure out what you're working on. I'm happy to help.

Josh's Advice

I tell this a lot to founders, your business is a hypothesis, until someone gives you money, it's not a business. If you treat your business like a science experiment. Write down your hypothesis, collect data, be obsessed with collecting data. Put numbers on paper, numbers won't lie. If you do all that, you're gonna set yourself up for success. If you ignore the data or not be authentic about it, or if you compromise that in any way, then you're going to be in a path for failure.

How he became so fascinated with analytics

How he stops information overload

The tech community in Miami

Emilio's Bio

Emilio has dedicated the last eight years of his professional career to helping people and organizations do data better. He has a serious obsession with all things analytics, strongly believing that putting data to work can produce change. He is currently growing Daasly and on the founding team of a second startup in tech, affiliate marketing company.

Company Website: https://daasly.com/

Emilio's Advice

I think that what I can leave everyone with is the biggest takeaway is understanding that data is the future. Information is the future.

The more you know about your customers, the more you know about your employees, the better it is, and the easier it is to run a company. It's never too early to start. It's never too early to start thinking about your company or thinking about your startup. Thinking about what KPIs you want to achieve, how to move that needle down to that granular level. That's the biggest piece of advice. I wished even when I started my company and it was a data company. I wasn't setting KPIs. I wasn't setting goals for myself. I wish I did that from the start.

Heather's Advice

I always say to people, if you're listening to this, there's something inside of you that's trying to get your attention. Just to pay attention to that and to lean into the breadcrumbs. We're so all or nothing, I'm either on the couch or I'm running a marathon.

Eventually you have to surrender to the process that is daily action and showing up. Showing up for 10 minutes is better than not showing up at all. You need to invest in yourself. You cannot do this alone. You cannot pretend that you can do it all. Nobody does. If they say they do, they're not telling the truth. It's okay to be scared and to take action.

https://katea124f7.clickfunnels.com/look-like-pro

Kate's Advice

Perception is reality. People will judge you from the minute that they see you. So, make sure what you look like a shop and when you open your mouth, you know how to communicate. That is how you're going to be the most influential the fastest. And you'll actually create more cash and more clients the fastest. What you look like and what you say. Fix it, address it, do something with it straight away. It'll make a difference.
