Advice, Hacks, and Lessons from Small Business Owners
No matter where you are in the world, there are probably free small business resources that you’re not using.
If you’re in the United States, then by all means get in contact with your local branch of the Small Business Administration, or SBA. It just might be the federal government’s best-kept secret!
The SBA is a treasure trove of free resources that far too few entrepreneurs utilize. Don’t make that mistake yourself, and definitely don’t pay expensive consultants for information the SBA gives out for free!
The SBA will help you workshop an idea from the ground up, get a loan, and draw up initial contacts, as well as connect you with the right mentors. Its staff members have probably seen all of your problems before and will help you avoid common pitfalls. So if you haven’t already, find the SBA resources in your state.
Even if you’re not in the US, chances are there are nonprofits, free public resources, and networks in your area that will support you. Your first step should be to get in contact with them.
There are people out there who want to help you. Go and find them!
