What I need help with
My background as an entrepreneur
My current challenges
My main challenge is validating the value of my services to my target market.
Secondly, I don't really know where to start in terms of getting leads, and feeding sales to my business.
Lastly, I am caught between doing the work in my business and working on my business so that it can scale. I am not sure when to transition and start employing personnel to do the design work.
Actions I’ve taken so far
The biggest achievement in the business so far is that I have completed a business plan. Most of my "paperwork" is in order - registration documents, bank account etc. I have also put up a portfolio of our work online on behance;
My future goals
Our biggest ambition is to be part of 100 startup success stories...
Currently, we aren't getting any income... and we aren't even close to our break-even point. So our goal is to start making at least 4 sales per month that are worth at least R5 000 each.
My motivations to work with a mentor
All the world's top athletes and entrepreneurs have coaches to show them the way... so it makes sense that I should also go down the same route. I want to fast track my company's progress through this stage of idea validation and start making sales.
