Two out of the 6 steps that caught my attention!

Commit to a business model. When starting my business, I spent a while trying to determine what the best business model was for my company. By hiring for and putting my money into product development, I was forced to commit to running a product-based company. Taking a leap of faith in a specific direction can help you move your company forward. <br /> Honor the relationships that work. When you find people who provide good advice for your business, nurture those relationships. After soliciting advice, I always follow up with people to let them know what I did with their recommendations and how it worked (or didn’t work) for my business. Going to a couple of people repeatedly for advice makes soliciting wisdom extremely efficient. Not only do you save time telling your story, but those experts also become emotionally invested in you and your business.By participating in an incubator program, I was able to learn alongside my peers. This network of entrepreneurs has stayed in touch and we continue to learn from each other. I would not be where I am today if not for this network of peers.
