Do you ever feel like you just aren't doing enough in your business? Or do you ever feel like you have been holding yourself back in your entrepreneurship journey? What about feeling like you just don't have any support for your business? If you have answered yes to any or all of the above questions, you my friend are not alone. These feelings are completely normal and common for most creatives and entrepreneurs, especially during the beginning and growing stages. It's ok to feel like this but it's not ok to not find a solution. If you or anyone you know experience any of these entrepreneurial pains, here are some ways to combat them and find support:
Join a mentorship, cohort, or an accelerator program. This is by far the best way to find a network of business owners to connect with and learn from on a personal level. There are many different mentorships and accelerator programs that focus on different aspects of your business. For instance, Innovation Works and Miller Center Boost Program is one type of accelerator that focuses on business fundamentals, business strategy, social impact and a path to growth for Baltimore based non-profits, for profits and hybrid social enterprises. Do research to find your local community organizations and businesses that provide these programs.
Network. Simple. Place yourself in rooms your future self would NEED to be in. Find local events through Eventbrite, Instagram hashtags and pages, word of mouth, Facebook groups or even my website. Identify your current goal within your business and plan out the type of people you can learn from and think where would they be? What type of event would they attend? If you can't find any events that would host your potential business connects or clients, then CREATE the space yourself.
