BUSINESS BUILDING INSIGHTS

It’s not how much business you do, it’s about how much money you put in your pocket.

Bring an entrepreneurial spirit to all jobs, where you own what you do.

Understand the value of networking. Build relationships with businesses that have the attention of your audience.

Have your own website so you can truly express your brand and capture the attention of visitors.

Make yourself accessible. Your site must show what you do and where you do it. Having contact information is crucial.

Create an inviting experience. Your home page is your virtual receptionist. It must showcase what you want people to see first.

If you're a local business, have a Google My Business account to rank on Google.
