Grow Your Venture

So you've launched a company and are generating some revenue. Awesome, and congratulations! That is quite an achievement, especially for a student who has a lot of competing demands on her time. What's next?

Here are some questions to ask yourself:

• Am I relatively safe from a legal standpoint? (Hint: if you are not some form of corporation, whether LLC, S, or C, you probably aren't)
• Is this a lifestyle company (enough to make a living), or do you want to create a financial legacy for your family?
• How am I going to grow the company and increase its profits or impact?
• Do I want my company to be local, national or global in scale?
• Most importantly: who can help me achieve my goals for this company?
