![Is your business still exciting? [Video]](https://video.getpvd.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/mp_210280_0_0jpg.jpg)
Starting a business is exciting, especially in that “zero to one” phase. That’s when you’re setting up the foundation: picking the product, shaping the brand, and outlining the mission. . But what comes after that?Many entrepreneurs get stuck in the past, constantly reminiscing about that initial thrill of the startup.Some people are naturally better at starting things; they’re good at the “zero to one.” Others excel at scaling businesses, taking them from “one to 100.” It’s essential to recognise where your strengths lie and when to maybe step aside or bring in additional help to continue the growth of your business.

In this episode Chris Do reveals a surprising strategy to outshine your competition and increase your earnings. He shares a personal success story where he took a competitor out for lunch and secured new work as a result. Chris emphasizes that his advice truly works if you put it into action.Many professionals wonder whether they should refer their leads to competitors. Chris advises looking beyond a scarcity mindset and recommends referring clients who aren’t a good fit to someone in your network. This creates goodwill and strengthens relationships. However, he cautions against referring to people you don’t trust or believe in, as it can backfire.To maximize your opportunities, Chris suggests building agreements with those you refer work to. By establishing a finder’s fee or sales commission, both parties can benefit financially. This approach generates pre-vetted leads and ensures everyone earns their fair share.Additionally, Chris discusses the power of taking competitors out to lunch. By reaching out to larger agencies or studios, you can establish rapport and offer to handle work that doesn’t align with their interests. This positions you as a solution and opens doors to mentorship and valuable industry insights.To access a community, training, and resources for scaling your business, check out the Futur Pro Group’s exclusive membership designed for experienced business owners.Want a deeper dive into growing your business?

![FROM TV NEWS TO ENTREPRENEURSHIP – Starting a business to help other business owners [Video]](https://video.getpvd.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/mp_206500_0_0jpg.jpg)
✖️ FROM TV NEWS TO ENTREPRENEURSHIP – How & why I started a business to help other business owners in CanadaI’m Lisa Ostrikoff & I used to work in TV News as a Journalist / Anchor over the span of a decade… then one day I realized how ‘done’ with that industry I was (plenty of stories for another day) + made a snap decision to quit due to serious internal misalignment issues… and had to figure something else out.That was in 2009.In my quest to finally create content (just like BizBOXTV produces for other business owners)… This is a quick story about how I took what I knew from being a Journalist for Global TV and turned it into something called “Brand Journalism” that I ultimately ended up trademarking in Canada.It’s been quite the journey so far ~ and I’ve had the pleasure of working with so many amazing business owners over the course of the past 14 years.Thanks for checking out test Video #3 of my first rambling series in an effort to get over myself + finally start creating my own content again ;)www.bizboxtv.com#business #entrepreneur #entrepreneurship #finance #media #canada #news #global #globalnews #marketing #advertising #womeninbusinesss #femaleentrepreneur #creatoreconomy #creator #ceo #vancouver #calgary #toronto #lisaostrikoff #brandjournalism #storytelling

I firmly believe that anyone has the ability to start a business and use it to achieve their own version of financial freedom.However, starting a business can be scary. Many people forgo this opportunity because they are unsure of the steps or processes they must take to start a profitable business.In my past experience working with business owners and entrepreneurs across the UK and Ireland, I have helped launch and grow thousands of online and offline businesses. Many of these businesses started in the back bedroom and their owners worked on them in the evenings and weekends. A large number of these businesses have then replaced the owners’ working income and have become their full-time businesses.In this video, I aim to break down the steps you need to take to start your own business. I’ll also give you a nod to the challenges you might face and some actionable tips on overcoming them. Let’s remove the mystery and fear behind starting a business and let you get to it.After reading the article, if you want help starting your own business, you can check out my business coaching services. I offer a small number of sessions per month to aspiring business owners who want to plan out their businesses and take action.Read the article in full – https://foundered.co.uk/how-to-start-a-business/Apply for business coaching – https://foundered.co.uk/business-coaching/
