Last week, on the Business Mentoring Show, Fran and the guys from Atlanta Beer Tours talked about evolving a passion into a business idea. This week, Dan and Aaron talk about the lessons they learned from starting their small business.

The initial stages after starting a business are busy, and can be intimidating. There are a lot of decisions you have to make, and they are very important to determining the future of your business. Licensing, branding, insurance, incorporation, sales, web strategy—the number of things you “have” to do grows quickly. Atlanta Beer Tours tackled those early questions to get the business off the ground, and operated very cautiously while navigating those challenging waters, conserving money wherever possible because they didn’t know what unexpected expenses might be right around the corner. Once you’ve overcome those initial hurdles, it’s time to come up with a process for the business that works—for customers, partners, and yourself.

In this session, you’ll learn:

• What hurdles a business has to overcome to get off the ground
• How to build relationships with business partners that are mutually beneficial
• Why your target market might differ from what you anticipated
