Last week, Julia Becker Collins was in the news as part of a panel of experts quoted by the Massachusetts Business Network (MBN) in their article “6 Experts Share Advice for Starting a Business.” These business tips for becoming an entrepreneur from Massachusetts business experts ran the gambit from attorneys talking about laying the legal groundwork and incorporating documentation to marketing professionals talking about what you’ll need to be noticed in the digital landscape.
Julia Becker Collins on the Resources Available to Entrepreneurs
In the article, our COO Julia Becker Collins talks about what resources all business owners have–money, time, and expertise–and how the ways in which you choose to spend them will directly impact your business’s success:
“Your business’ resources are finite, and they are also different from everyone else’s – even your competitors. It’s important not to fixate on any single one and understand that the resources you take for granted might be your most valuable ones. Your three primary marketing resources are: time, money, and expertise. You have a different amount of each of these available and the amounts shift over time.”
When you’re just launching your business, you may not have a large financial budget to outsource marketing, but maybe you have the time to study trends, attend free workshops, and manage marketing on your own,” Julia mentions. “Maybe someone on your team has some background with photography or social media and you can tap into expertise that way. As your business grows, so will your resources.”
