hi I’m Evan Carmichael welcome to the
edition of ask Evan today I’m going to
answer question from one of our YouTube
breeders viewers I guess Rihanna who
wrote insane I want to start a business
but I want to help small businesses be
more successful I want to help by
starting a consulting company who would
want to listen to someone who’s never
owned the business how to become more
credible Thank You Rihanna so thanks for
the question Rihanna so when I’m giving
advice to entrepreneurs to have them
start up their own business the number
one thing I always recommend is is build
a business around your passion so you’ve
got into something really excited about
you’ll jump through you know brick walls
to solve something that kind of keeps
you going it gets the energy pumping and
the blood flowing so if you found that
with helping small business owners so
that that’s a great start so you found
your passion the next thing I usually
recommend doing for somebody just
starting up without a lot of experience
is work to learn so go find somebody
who’s doing exactly what you’re doing or
what you want to do and work for them
for six months or three months or a year
just to get a sense of how the industry
works to a make sure that it is
something that you want to do and be
also learn all the tricks of the trade
from somebody who is in your industry
it’s a great way to learn about the
business figure out all the mistakes on
somebody else’s watch and also get paid
to do it so you’re getting paid to learn
about how to be a successful business
owner in your field so as much as to
also try to find somebody you might be
able to intern with or get a job with at
the start who does exactly what you want
to try to do to learn from their
experience beyond that you got to start
building up a base so if you have no
experience it might be hard to convince
people to come on board with you and
sign you up as a supplier but you might
have to do things for free at the
beginning or a super low cost so you’re
building up your portfolio you’re
building up your experience and your
building up case studies you can say hey
I help this person go from here to here
so at the beginning you’re looking for
small clients people who could become
testimonials or case studies and even
you’re not making money off of them
you’re building up your portfolio so
that when other clients come to you you
can show them hey you’ve got all this
work done behind you and you know you’re
credible expert the last thing I try to
do here in terms of just getting started
is trying to build up your expertise by
creating content so if you have a blog
right great content on your website that
talks about how small business owners
can help grow their companies you can
create YouTube videos just like I’m
doing here you can share your thoughts
in the video or you can just answer
questions if you see questions coming in
you may not have an audience yet a
people who are asking you questions but
you can go to a form of entrepreneurs
and see what people are talking about
and just create a video response and get
back to somebody through your YouTube
video depends on how you know if you
like being in front of the camera or if
you prefer the right but start creating
expert content and if its publishing on
your own blog or if you’re doing guest
posting for other blogs you’re starting
to build a little bit of an authority
presence again you have to have enough
of a base knowledge to be able to create
this great content if you don’t really
know what you’re talking about yet then
you have to go back and get the
experience I work for somebody else and
by starting on these little project with
clients once you feel you have a bit of
a base knowledge then you can start
creating content and people find it and
think wow this is really great stuff
they might contact you or at least sign
up for your newsletter or take whatever
next step you want them to take so
hopefully that helps it is a bit of a
process it’s probably gonna take a lot
longer than you think it’s going to take
and be you know require a lot of energy
but hopefully it’s something that you’re
really passionate about you believe in
and does something want to do for the
next 20 years then it’ll be worth the
investment and be super rewarding for
you as you continue to grow so thank you
for the question if those are you
