Your post is very interesting. I like the bartering idea. I have been a legal assistant for most of my working life and I am now retired. I am just starting an ESL business and would like to take it into the stratosphere with new ideas. Hope to hear from you.

I live in North Miami.

Hi Irma,

The best way to start is to ask a very specific question. You can do it right here.

Also, I highly recommend to attend our online strategy roundtable: https://sramanamitra.com/entrepreneurship-strategy-roundtables/ and listen and learn, it gives you a good idea what it takes to succeed and you can go from there.

Hi Maher,

Glad to hear from you. And, just like with Irma, I urge you to ask very specific question about your business, so I can help you to navigate your road to success. Cheers! Irina

Another suggestion I have for everyone who wants to get up to speed in their new business development is, start here: https://sramanamitra.com/entrepreneurship-stra…

Start attending every Thursday 1M1M online strategy roundtables to hear what other entrepreneurs are doing and most importantly to hear Sramana's feedback on their business development.

From those regular discussions you will learn a lot and you will be able to ask questions very specific to your own business in real time via chat board.

Hi Irina

I am impressed by your initiative. Right now I do preparation for new start up based on Russian scientist technology to be launched. I just have registered to the next webinar. What kind of addressed support do you offer besides that? I am mostly interested in marketing/positioning/enter-the-market issues.

Edgar,

If you registered to attend our weekly strategy roundtables here https://sramanamitra.com/entrepreneurship-stra… you did the right step. It will help you to understand our entire support system for entrepreneurs. You can ask any questions at the end of each live session that will help you to get started on the right path of your business development.

And when you feel that you've done enough research and well prepared, register to present your business to Sramana for her feedback at one of these strategy roundtables. You will receive additional guidance on your marketing/positioning/enter-the-market strategy for your business. Cheers! — Irina

Hi Irina – I want to push the Andy Sack interview out to our audience, but the third page of the interview is not linked to page 1 and 2 yet, so you can't get to page 3 or 4, except from page 1. Could you check on that, please? I don't want to push it out before the links are fixed. Thank you!!
