A Close Mouth Doesn't Get Feed!

Yes, I have been closed mouth for some time in regards to starting my business. I was only able to bounce ideas off of my closest friends and, even then, I did not fully disclose. Not that I have to share every minute detail but be able to use my friends as sounding boards and get their opinions. My friends are my target market, so it is perfect.

Currently, I am attending classes at San Francisco Renaissance Entrepreneurial Center and I try to be an active networker. Both have help tremendously for me to come out of my shell. If you live in the Bay Area and have not ever taken a class form the Renaissance Center, you should. Check them out:

So one advice that I must give is to get out there and network, host focus groups and conduct informational interviews. Doing your research will save you plenty of time and money! Start or join an incubator because this will also help you get to the next step in your business.

I added two videos from Josie Maran and Amy Swift. Both are very inspirational.
