Raise your hand if bootstrapping means ramen for dinner, wearing your website design hat, AND being your own marketing team 🙋♀️🙋♂️ When funding is tight, resourcefulness is your superpower. But let’s be real, it ain’t easy.
Bootstrapping demands incredible grit and creativity.
You’re not alone! Many successful businesses started with very little.
Do This, Instead:
- Embrace the barter system: Can you trade services with other businesses to fill your needs?
- Get creative with marketing: Focus on low-cost tactics – social media, content, networking
- Utilize free resources: There are tons of online tools, templates, and tutorials available.
- Outsource strategically: If you do spend a little, choose tasks that will have the highest impact.
