Building a website from scratch can be a challenge for most people. There is often a lot of confusing jargon involved as well as hidden expenses that most will be unaware of.

Engagement is the act of building authentic relationships with your target audience. It involves any and all communications that you leverage throughout the pre and post-purchase process. Which can be disastrous if you’re delivering different messages or even a misaligned tone through every channel.

Being in love is great. Being in love with your business, when you’re an entrepreneur, is even better. Waking up each morning knowing you are getting to do exactly what you love is more than most people could ever say about any “job” they have had. Although there are days when tossing in your hat seems like a viable option, remembering how much you love your “job” can quickly snap an entrepreneur out of that mentality.

YouTube continues to be one of the best places to see organic growth, and the barrier to entry can be an advantage for companies and brands willing to put in the work. Whereas a blog post needs just a computer to type, a video requires an understanding of lighting, audio, storytelling, editing, and community building. So, if you’re willing to fight through the learning curve and are patient enough to suffer through low viewership, you can generate significant exposure.

A college syllabus is enough work for the typical student, but some enterprising students still desire to create a startup company in college. This smaller group of students are voluntarily increasing their work quota, with the additional responsibility of running a startup company. This addition often amounts to such students becoming disadvantaged, because they consider leaving one for the other eventually.

One important tactical decision when fundraising is determining the size of “the ask”. Sizing the ask incorrectly is one of the things I see founders get wrong most often, and it ends up having a meaningful impact to the fundraising process overall.
