Starting a business in the United States requires focusing on some essential elements. First, it’s important to formalize your business structure, whether as an LLC, S Corp, or C Corp. Having the right legal structure can help you grow and protect your business interests.
Most small businesses in the U.S. are run by a single person, which often leads to owners focusing solely on daily operations while overlooking critical areas. This can result in a high failure rate or leave entrepreneurs feeling frustrated when they don’t see the desired results. To avoid this, I recommend working on what I call the Six Key Pillars for Scaling a Business: leadership, marketing, finance, personnel, operations, and sales.
- Leadership: Define your business’s mission and vision, and plan strategically for the future.
- Marketing: Invest in digital marketing, social media, strategic partnerships, and understand your ideal customer.
- Finance: Establish a pricing structure that ensures a sustainable profit margin.
- Personnel: Select people who share your values and create an attractive work environment for employees.
- Operations: Document and standardize processes to ensure quality and efficiency.
- Sales: Develop a strong sales process that equips you to handle objections and close deals effectively.
