Wassup you guys ?! Hows life been treating ya ?
Im here today fresh off a business "failure" from earlier this year.
I learned from this "failure" that i didn't know anything about brand building , OR how to do the numbers side of things .
In a era where people are becoming hard and harder to "sell to" i was focused on trying to do manual selling through the internet. I made a few sales , I gained some customers I still associate with today . But I didn't know how take it to the next level.
I also was in the belief that paid ads could build a business . Boy was i wrong lol.
But I now i see that people more easily buy brands and that if you learn how to build a successful brand you wont have to do the selling , the product will sell its self (which isn't a new thing , i was just uneducated on the info haha) and from my understanding a brand isnt a product but what the product stands for or what the customer thinks of when you mention a certain name or phrase .
And with accounting I just tried to skip that all together haha . In my mind I was like " If just know how to make sales it'll solve everything , I'm pretty good with money" . But now I see that accounting is basically the spine of the business .
Obviously im still trying to figure it all out .
So I'm here today , with a little more wisdom and alot more to learn .
Also if anyone could direct me to good resources on accounting , books , podcasts , youtube vids ect. It would be highly appreciated .
Also any other tips or advice is also welcomed .
One thing for sure is Im not giving up ! it's time for me to do it again , and this time do it better.
I appreciate you guys
