THE APP
THE APP STORE MARVIN. BACK TO YOU ALL RIGHT THANKS GERRI
LISTEN YOU HAVE SOME BUSINESS
IDEAS THE NEW YEAR'S A GREAT
TIME TO TURN THOSE IDEAS INTO
ACTION AND YOU CAN GET SOME
HELP FROM A UNIQUE
ORGANIZATION HERE IN SAN
ANTONIO CALLED LUNCH YES.
JOINING US NOW TALK ABOUT IT
IS RYAN SOLVES AND HE CAN
HELP US WITH THIS THANK YOU
FOR JOINING US I WANT TO BE
MY OWN BOSS THIS YEAR. HOW DO
I DO IT. WELL FIRST THING YOU
HAVE TO REALLY JUST START BY
BY GETTING HEALTH AND I WOULD
SAY THERE ARE MANY RESOURCES
AROUND THE CITY LAUNCH OF
SAVING ONE OF THEM WERE A
PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN
THE CITY AND A NONPROFIT
CALLED LIFT FUN WHEN YOU'RE
STARTING OUT YOU WANT TO MAKE
SURE THAT YOU'RE STARTING OUT
ON THE RIGHT BUT IT'S GETTING
ALL THE RIGHT PERMITS ARE
LICENSES SETTING UP YOUR
FINANCIALS CORRECTLY MAKING
SURE THAT YOUR BUDGETING
CORRECTLY AND YOU UNDERSTAND.
THAT YOU'RE MAKING OF PROFIT.
THE NUMBER ONE RULE OF
BUSINESSES TO SELL IT FOR
MORE THAN YOU BOUGHT IT FOR
SO A LOT OF THOSE VARIABLES
ARE REALLY HARD FOR PEOPLE TO
UNDERSTAND. AND SO THAT'S
WHERE GETTING HELP THE SORT
OF THAT FIRST STEP AND
BECOMING YOUR OWN BOSTON
SUPPORTING YOURSELF BY
FINDING OTHERS IN
THE COMMUNITY. DOING SIMILAR
THINGS AND ASKING THEM WHAT
TO DO. FROM THERE. IS THAT
WHAT YOU GUYS DO DO BRING ME
AND TEACH ME HOW TO DO THAT
WALK ME THROUGH THESE THINGS
STEP BY STEP EXACTLY. SO
LAUNCH USA IS A SORT OF A 3 1
1 FOR SMALL BUSINESS AND
ENTREPRENEURS IT DOESN'T
MATTER WHAT STAGE OR AND IT
DOESN'T MATTER. INDUSTRY OR
AND WE HAVE RESOURCES AND
PARTNERSHIPS WITH
PARTNERSHIPS WITH ORGANIZATIONS ACROSS THE CITY
THAT CAN HELP YOU FIGURE IT
OUT. AND SO WE PROVIDE
DIRECTION WE PROVIDE
MENTORSHIP WE PROVIDE
OPPORTUNITIES TO GET
FINANCING PROGRAMS EDUCATION
AND YOU KNOW JUST THAT
GENERAL DIRECTION THEY HELPS
YOU GET OFF THE GROUND. OK I
KNOW EVERYBODY IS HOPING TO
CAPTURE LIGHTNING IN A BOTTLE
OK BUT A SECRET TO BECOME A
SUCCESSFUL ENTREPRENEUR YES
SO I MEAN THERE'S NO ONE SIZE
FITS ALL RIGHT IMPERATIVE
THAT YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU
WANT TO DO AND WHERE YOU WANT
TO BE BECAUSE YOU WANT TO BE
THE BEST BURGER JOINT ON
SOUTH FLORES. THERE'S NO
POINT IN BRAINING YOURSELF AS
THE WORLD DOMINATING BURGER
JOINT SO UNDERSTANDING LIKE
WHAT YOU WANT TO DO. WHERE
ARE YOU WANT TO GO AND THEN
FINDING OTHER PEOPLE THAT
HAVE BEEN THERE ARE AROUND
YOU. AND PUTTING THEM AROUND
YOU IS REALLY THAT THAT ONE
KEY STEP. SURROUND YOURSELF
WITH MENTORS PEOPLE THAT
UNDERSTAND THE THINGS THAT
YOU'RE ABOUT TO DO OR DOING
CURRENTLY IS THE NUMBER ONE
WAY THAT YOU CAN SUCCEED WE
ALL MAKE MISTAKES WHEN DOING
THIS RIGHT BIGGEST MISTAKE AN
ENTREPRENEUR CAN MAKE TRYING
TO GO IN AND START DEFINITELY
SO THE BIGGEST MISTAKES THAT
I'VE SEEN ARE REALLY AROUND
THE FINANCIALS AND A LOT OF
PEOPLE REALLY INTERESTED IN
MARKETING. IT'S REALLY GREAT
TO GET YOUR IDEA OUT THERE
YOUR PRODUCT OUT THERE BUT IF
YOU'RE UNDERPRICING YOUR
PRODUCT FOR EXAMPLE AND YOU
GET MORE PEOPLE TO BUY IT.
THEN YOU'RE ONLY LOSING MONEY
EVERY TIME THAT YOU SELL IT.
SO IT'S REALLY PERTINENT THAT
SOMEBODY WHO UNDERSTANDS HOW
TO SELL THEIR PRODUCT THAT AT
A PRICE. THAT'S GOING TO WORK
FOR THEM THAT'S GOING TO MAKE
THEM A LIVING. HOW TO RECORD
THOSE FINANCIALS FOR TAX
PURPOSES REALLY ORGANIZED
THOSE THOUGHTS THE FINANCIAL
THOUGHTS SO THAT THEIR
BUSINESS CAN SUCCEED AND THEY
CAN GROW AND HIRE MORE PEOPLE
SPEAKING OF GROWING THE CITY
IS GROWING BY LEAPS AND
BOUNDS SO IF I AM A BUSINESS
OWNER FIRST TIME BUSINESS
OWNER HOW DO I COMPETE WITH
THE BIG GUYS. HOW DO I CAN
PERIOD STAY ALIVE IN VITAL.
AND SO THAT'S THE ONE
ADVANTAGE THAT YOU KNOW A
SMALL BUSINESS OWNER HAS OVER
THE BIG GUYS. THE BIG GUYS
RIGHT NOW IF YOU KIND OF LOOK
ACROSS THE LANDSCAPE YOU'LL
NOTICE THAT MANY OF THEM ARE
TRYING TO BUY UP SMALLER
PLAYERS IN THE FIELD AND
THAT'S BECAUSE YOU CAN BUILD
AN AUDIENCE THAT SOMEONE
ELSE. CAN'T BUILD THEIR
BIGGER THEY'RE NOT AS NIMBLE
AS YOU ARE. YOU HAVE
THE OPPORTUNITY TO RESPOND
QUICKER TO YOUR AUDIENCE
REALLY BUILD A NICHE MARKET
AND THAT'S WHAT I THINK IF
YOU'RE REALLY TRYING TO START
AND DO SOMETHING. TRYING TO
FIGURE OUT WHERE YOU FIT AND
HOW YOURE GOING TO RESPOND TO
WHAT YOUR CUSTOMERS YOU CAN
DO THAT. BETTER THAN ANY OF
THE BIG GUYS LAUNCH I'M SURE
WE CAN GOOGLE YOU EMPIRE.
YEAH YOU CAN FIND THIS AT
THE DOWNTOWN LIBRARY. YOU CAN
FIND THOSE ONLINE LAUNCH
ESSAY OUTWARD. ALL RIGHT
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR JOINING
ME. I APPRECIATE IT. AND
SPEAKING OF WHICH FOLKS.
WE'VE GOTTEN MORE
