What Do You REALLY Need To Start Getting Your Business Established?

You've had a few projects, you're starting to make connections, but how do you start making a name and getting your systems established?



Holy shit, there can be a lot of things you have to worry about when you're just getting your business going.


There's butt-tons of recommendations, millions of Facebook groups, and more experts that are shelling out advice than you know what to do with.


Just quiet down all the voices for a minute, and let's lay it out really simple.


I've put together the best of the best to make this easy and I'm giving you my favorite must-haves down below.




As Simple, Recognizable Brand


This is a biggie. You want something that's going to grow with you, but not something that leavings you fading away in a sea of startups.


Keeping things simple, having one differentiating stand out color, and keeping those visual CONSISTENT in all your stuff is really key here.


Many women starting their businesses make the mistake of thinking they have to go all out and use a bunch of graphics and fonts and designs AND colors AND it ends up just being... a lot of stuff.


Keeping your brand simple keeps it classic, which makes you look professionals.


Simple and classic doesn't mean boring - it means you have authority and have a brand to build on instead of having to totally scrap it everything time you level up.


Now, you can totally add tons of flavor to your brand with things like a fun accent font, or an unconventional/bright color palette, or use really amazing images that show who your brand is.


This also doesn't have to be hired out, this doesn't have to be fancy - it just needs to be clean and professional looking. We have some really GORG logos that follow the rules for start-up branding, and bundles where you can just knock out all of your stuff at one time.




Systems to Back You Up


It's a little hard to get your business running smoothly without any legit systems in place. It's simple when you think about it, but we tend to complicate the shit out of things, because businessing is hard.


You're going to get to the point where you need some systems to make your job easier - and the earlier you get these systems in place, the faster you can grow!


  • If you want to book clients for sessions or appointments, you need booking software.




  • Need a business email, you need Gmail, because it's the easiest. < email me down below if you want a coupon for this( : >



  • But, you really hit the jackpot when you can find those things packaged in one place like Dubsado or FGFunnels (two of my faves).


No matter what you do first or what you choose to skip, you need to start getting your systems set up. It's much easier to do this from the beginning than have to implement halfway through when you get super busy. That, right there, is a nightmare (totally speaking from experience).



A Rock-Solid Community


This is a game-changer. Surrounding yourself with people who have the same goals, and are in the same stage of business as you, is something that can literally change the outcome of your business.


AND


Surrounding yourself with people who have BIGGER goals and are AHEAD of you (whatever that means...), is something that will motivate you and show you the path to those bigger goals. too.


There are tons of Facebook groups, local groups, industry groups, etc. Just get in there and start connecting with people. We have a rockin' FB group if you need somewhere to find an empowering group of kick-ass women and would love to have you.


Let's not forget the importance of in-person stuff too. I mean, people do still leave their houses to network and build relationships, I think...



So Let's Be Real...


It's a big job starting a business.


Like, literally a big job.


The more you get set up in the beginning, though, the easier it is to keep your head on straight and above water.


Remember, it's not which software or system you pick, or getting your brand just perfect -


it's just doing those things and putting your hard work and heart into it because DONE IS BETTER THAN PERFECT!
