"Build your Business Game Plan" - Hot Mic W/ Willamette Equity Advisors

On the Mic! W/ Ray White

Shout out to Mike White of Willamette Equity Advisors and Owner of Best Damn BBQ sauce! In this episode of Hot Mic W/ Ray White, we discuss the importance of planning and how it affects the success of businesses/entrepreneurship initiative Here are 3 key takeaways from our conversation: 1️⃣ Planning is Crucial: Many individuals have a vision but lack the track record to turn that vision into reality. Having a well-thought-out plan provides stability, helps you understand your customers, and allows you to analyze your margins and sales goals efficiently. 2️⃣ Research and Study: Before diving headfirst into starting a business, it's crucial to research and study the environment, product/service, and customer base. Understanding the market demand for your offering can save you valuable time and energy. 3️⃣ Networking is Key: To thrive in the entrepreneurial world, it's important to get plugged into the community, connect with key influencers, and leverage available resources. Networking opens doors to opportunities, mentorship, and collaborations that can propel your business forward.
