I'm so excited you're here at Enclave Gold Business Studio, where we help you transform your talents into cash at in-person and online markets! To get started, please introduce yourself so we can all get to know you and where you are at in your creative journey. Next, ask questions here in the Business Studio to get weekly feedback from me and your peers! If you can't think of anything to ask here are a few great first time questions to get you inspired and started: 1. I have a rough idea for a business, but I have no clue what the very first 'legal' or 'official' step is. Do I register a name first, or build the product first? 2. How much money did you actually have in your bank account before you felt safe enough to start? Is it possible to do this with $0? 3. I have three different ideas I’m excited about. How do you figure out which one is a viable business and which one is just a hobby? 4. I’m currently working a 9-to-5. For those who started as a side hustle, how many hours a week did you realistically put in before it started gaining traction? 5. How do you find your very first customer when you have zero followers, no email list, and no marketing budget? 6. There are so many platforms (Shopify, Etsy, Squaresapce, etc.). What is the simplest, most 'non-techy' way to start selling something online today? 7. I feel like I don’t know enough to call myself a 'founder' yet. At what point did you stop feeling like you were just pretending to run a business? 8. I’m nervous about telling my friends and family about my idea in case it fails. How did you handle the fear of people judging your 'failed' attempts? 9. What is the biggest 'rookie mistake' you made in your first month that I should try to avoid? 10. What is the one thing about running a business that turned out to be way easier than you expected, and what turned out to be way harder? See you in the comments! ✨Keeshia
