What did you learn from your Starter Company Plus program experience?

Starter Company Plus taught me about the importance of a goal setting and visualizing where I could possibly see myself and my business in the future.

Fleshing out a rough idea into something a bit more comprehensive gave me confidence in where I felt where my business was going and helped me to outline the next steps I needed to take to help grow my business.

Setting my future goals in a few different areas gave me a way to know if I’m on the right track and the ability to steer myself back on the right path if I’m straying off course. Starter Company Plus also taught me the importance of a cash flow!

Even if understanding cash flow can be a bit tedious, it is most certainly worthwhile to know what is flowing in and out of my business and how to potentially shift things around to help my business flourish.

What advice would you have for other entrepreneurs?

Remember that the fruition and your vision of success for your business will take time. In the age of social media, where you’re constantly able to see what might be going on in the lives of others, it’s easy to sometimes compare your business journey with others. But your journey is your journey alone.

Everything you do and set out to do is your own accomplishments and hard work – it cannot be replicated or compared to.

Also, celebrate when you accomplish goals and give yourself some grace if you haven’t hit your goals when you expected to. It’s important to find that balance during the peaks and the valleys that keep you on track.

What’s next for your business?

What’s next for my business is accomplishing the goal I’ve set up for myself to get my products in physical and/or virtual retail locations to help grow my business! Who knows, maybe Enfematic is coming to a store near you!
