Welcome to the Evolvepreneur (After Hours) Show
I am your Special Host Mechelle McDonald
Join me today where we dig deep with our guests and get you the best concepts and strategies to fast-track your business.
My very special guest today is Chad Wittfeldt ...
Chad Whitfeld discusses his entrepreneurial journey starting businesses like landscaping as a teenager. He emphasizes the importance of proving business concepts through initial customer validation before investing heavily in plans and branding. Whitfeld also stresses the value of cultivating relationships through genuine care, celebration of others' successes, and partnering with those who have complementary skills rather than similar ones. Overall, the podcast provides transparency into both Whitfeld's successes and mistakes made along the way in his real estate and investing ventures.
Key Moments:
- Chad recognized early on that he wanted to own and operate his own business rather than work for others after college. He started his first business, a landscaping company, at age 16.
- Building a network is important for opportunities, but one must cultivate the network by being helpful to others, celebrating their successes, and genuinely caring about their well-being.
- When starting a business, focus first on proving the concept and getting early customers before spending too much time on logos, plans, etc. Let the market validate the idea.
- Consistency in building and iterating on a proven business concept will lead to greater success than constantly chasing new opportunities.
- Partnerships can help when starting out with no capital, but choose partners with complementary skills and who aren't similar to yourself.
- Admitting and learning from mistakes is important, as all entrepreneurs will make them. The key is not quitting.
- Focus first on profitability and cash flow rather than growth for growth's sake.
- Smiling and having a positive attitude can help conversations and relationships.
- Celebrating others' successes in a genuine way builds strong connections.
- Asking questions and finding opportunities to add value are good ways to get started in business with limited resources.
