A thread for those who need a serious start in business: PLEASE SEEK THIS KNOWLEDGE YOURSELF BEFORE PAYING FOR ANYTHING:

I’m a business owner, a consultant, a lifelong student of the damn game. Before you do a damn thing, go read up on business. I don’t care how old you are, this book explains business well for anyone:

Secondly: check your local SBDC, Score Chapter, and SBA Chapters for free and low cost classes and mentoring, since people being assholes about it. That’s where you get the foundation for business basics especially state specific things you need to know.

Get close to your librarians! They’re literally employed to provide knowledge and resources beyond books. Invest in an hour or two a week at the library and check the business sections as well as the bulletin boards.

Many times colleges offer free or inexpensive non-credit classes on marketing, digital marketing, business management, certs and shit, design and some more shit. Please take your ass down to the community college and see about that. Get grounded in the basics, at least.

Back your passion up with a trade. People buy from people they know, like, and trust. A professional builds a strong trust factor and fuck a $3000 trip when you can have a whole trade that lasts a lifetime, you know?

Find your local micro lender intermediary (ECDI if you in Ohio) and get you some fucking money if you, like me, do NOT have a drug dealer or sugar daddy to bankroll your dreams okay? There’s plenty of loan options out here for you that won’t reject you like these banks do.

“Where do I find out more about that because...”

Don’t look up, like Issa Rae said: link with people on your level and work across, not up. Come up together, build bonds that go past money and business and really build shit from under the ground up. And you too shall ball. THEN you call me, or another great consultant.

#girllemmetellyou though, I’ll see you on http://imthereasonwhy.com  soon because there will be a site with services soon. Love y’all. Get you some money and go get the knowledge and get the fundamentals yourself first

Of course y’all need to pay for consulting regularly however before you do, you should be well versed on your own in business just want to see y’all solid out here. Especially the ladies
