Best Advice to Other Entrepreneurs:
“I do really believe in starting small and working up. I believe that the less money you have to start with the more creative you have to become… my advice is to start small, create an audience, interact without audience and supply what they want and ask them… the worst thing to do is to open something and then look for customers. My best advice find your customers first, build up a relationship and then open or start the service.”…[Listen for More]
