This week we continue our conversation with Jerry Levinson about being a business owner and entrepreneur.  We don't have a format to follow this week, just open dialog. Some things we talked about in this episode.

Even starting your business you customers are the solution to everything

might need a different set of skills than you think you will need.

​

Changing you mindset about work and what you are doing. 

 

Target audiences- Who's is your target audience? and how do you find them?  

​

Experience your business through your customers eyes.

​

Networking Groups tips:

Having a single message for several weeks is more effective than changing it up all the time.

Having a product sample from your company to make a network group effective.

Having something about your business that is simple for others to understand such as when you offer coupons and deals. Make those things clear and easy for customers to understand. 

When its your turn to speak be prepared and sell your product.
