ESTIMATE 2 | lorihagee

Let's begin

Up until this point it's been fun. The excitement of your different future. The growing embryo of your dream. But now comes the numbers. The cost, the goods, the marketing, the location, the labor. This is the first place you will begin to feel uncomfortable. But, we've been here many times before. We will help you navigate through the maze. We aren't hand holders, panderers, or sympathizers. We are motivators, leaders, and the ever present force behind your commitment. It's only numbers, and they either work or they won't, and the sooner you figure out which ones do, and which ones don't, the better armed you will be to make the tough decisions. Businesses won't work without good numbers.

What you will accomplish

At the end of Month 5 you will know the general cost of execution. From purchases to overhead, from potential payroll to subscriptions and everything in between. What makes sense for your specific business and what is the smartest path of frugal execution. It takes money to make money and you will be given a budget to live within. This will open your eyes to how important ramp up is, how important investing in only things that provide a tactile return. It will be eye crossing, and mind boggling at times, but there is a method to the madness and even though it's not for the faint at heart, every entrepreneur EVER goes through it.
