Ep. 1 - Business Readiness

If you have a dream to be a successful business owner, one of the things you can do is prepare yourself for the success that you desire. Preparation means business readiness, establishing a solid business foundation, having a separate business bank account, having your EIN, filing your LLC, keeping up with annual fees, obtaining insurance and having your own space on the internet. Being a successful entrepreneur is not an easy fit. You have to wear many hats and play different roles in your business. However, whether that is client preparations, bookkeeping, content creation, getting out in front of new customers, or increasing your visibility and production, preparedness and business readiness will help you set the foundation for your business success. In this episode of the Rhea Whitney Podcast, we talk about business foundation 101, business readiness, and all those things you need to ensure that you have checked off and gotten done in creating and growing your business. If you are ready to grow, take your business more seriously and put your business operations together, setting your business foundation in a way that will support its growth over the years is key to your success. Listen in to learn the essentials of setting a solid business foundation and growing a business that stands alone from who you are as a person so that you can obtain the success and the money you desire.
