We’re not talking about Stan Getz and his two brothers. To succeed in a small business, these are the “gets” we’re referring to:
1. Get A Plan
More than notes on a cocktail napkin, your plan should encompass your vision, key financial objectives and business strategies over a time horizon longer than the season of your favorite TV series. A plan helps you think it through and keeps you focused.
2. Get Noticed
“Build it and they will come” only works in the movies. You need to let your prospects know how to find you and why they should bother.
3. Get Professional Advice
Attorneys, financial advisors and business consultants can help you mitigate your risk. It would be a tragedy to lose all that you have while pursuing all that you want.
As you consider starting your new business or expanding your existing one, there is rarely enough money to hire outside assistance. But, the need is there despite the lack of financial resources.
This is where SCORE can help. SCORE’s seasoned business experts address all three “Gotta Gets” at Entrepreneur Workshops held during the first consecutive Wednesday and Thursday nights of each month. Cost to attend the two evening workshops is only $50. You may also sign up to have a one-on-one consultation with a business professional at no additional cost.
So, before you launch your new business, get your “Gotta Gets” at SCORE’s Entrepreneur Workshop. Learn more at omaha.score.org.
