Jakub had an interesting idea of helping his neighbors get fresh pastries right to the doors. Eventually that simple idea grew into a blooming business for him and this is exactly what he’s sharing in this episode of Extra Paycheck Podcast.
In this episode you will learn:
- How to turn an idea into an actual business
- How to start a business in an unknown industry
- How to learn everything about starting and running a business without leaving your home
- Why you MUST use social media to promote and grow your business
- How to turn your social media followers into paying customers
- Why you should keep your business “personal” and treat each client and a prospect as a friend
- … and a lot more!
Don’t forget to check out Régal Matinal and feel free to order some of their oh-so-yummy pastries (if you’re in Montreal).
In the show we also talked about a few great books:
Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook by Gary Vaynerchuk (my full review of the book)
