Most Challenging Business Obstacle
 
Business Challenge
Finding Funding, As a start up, I see the biggest challenge, without experience starting a business from zero, is finding the right team members to embrace the vision and make it happen. This of course goes hand in hand with funding and business credit, as without capital to pay for the services of team members and vendors it significantly slows the pace of growth.
 
Our Solution
Currently, I am developing myself as a CEO, constantly networking, taking advantage of resources such as Start Up Nation, Ladies Who Launch, CEO Space, seeing where strategic alliances can be nutured and how I can support others with my expertise in education to build their businesses. I have a strong vision team, and the beginning of a strong Advsiory Board. I am developing a suite of free services, including e-books and articles, audios, workshops, and webinars for my target market, to build customer trust and credibility. Following this, I have developed a graduated pathway of paid products. As I do this I create capital, customer loyality, and a track record. This will attract investors and team members.
