058 Actually Starting a Business (Part 3)

September is officially ‘Starting a Business’ month here at Actually, and this week’s episode is the third in a series of episodes dedicated to those at the beginning of this fascinating journey.

Each week, I am exploring different aspects of starting a business to try and ensure that you avoid the overwhelm and bypass the complexity! This week, I am exploring the three most important things you need to understand as you get started in the world of business ownership.

What Is Covered:

-What is a sales and marketing cycle

-How to get every stage of the sales and marketing cycle right

-The things you must focus on to create a simple business model

-Why understanding cash flow and forecasting will literally save your business

Although the number of things you must know before starting a business might seem overwhelming, start by covering the three things I talk about in this episode. When you understand and master these three elements of your business, you’ll be on your way to actually making a difference in the world.
