Throughout this journey of building your business and going through life, we are told that you need to get yourself some mentors in order to navigate it all.

One of the best things I ever did was focus on becoming a business content creator.

It’s different than creating random videos for entertainment purposes on social media. When you focus on solving problems for people that they value and you are educating them on things happening within your niche, you become the go-to resource.

Once that happens, this begins to open up a new world of opportunities for you.

In this episode, I go into 5 ways that becoming a business content creator has been great for my business and also helped me in my personal life.

Getting business in the Digital Age is not like what businesses are accustomed to in the Caribbean, it is completely different than what is required for Brick & Mortar stores.

Do you know how to show up for your potential client’s problems or desires online?

Ep 27: 6 Ways To Find Relevant Content To Create

In this episode, we dive into 6 reasons why a solopreneur does not need to build a team to create or scale a business.

The beauty of being a Solopreneur lies in the flexibility we have with our time and location freedom but we can also leverage tools, automation and freelancers to perform tasks within our business.

It all comes down to a choice. We are now able to scale a business through digital means, as long as that that is what we desire to do.

In 2021, a Solopreneur no longer needs to scale by adding a team but can create multiple streams of income and still be the lone wolf in their business. It will also give you the freedom of only relying on yourself and not having to worry about other people within your business.

Ep 23: Building A Media Powerhouse In Your Niche

As E-Commerce continues to grow within Trinidad and Tobago, the regulators and stakeholders are doubling down to make sure that all service providers are compliant, so that the protection of the consumers can be protected to the highest degree.

In this interview, we speak with Stephon Duncan of Social Pay and Ocey Phillips – Ecommerce Consultant on the state of E-Commerce in T&T.

Social Pay has recently suspended its services to ensure they are fully compliant with the regulators and we were able to break down what the process is for those who are looking to create their own payment facilitation company or a marketplace in T&T.

We even dove into how business owners and consumers can check to see if the marketplaces & payment service providers that they are using to build their businesses, currently have their required licenses from the Central Bank of Trinidad & Tobago, Mastercard and Visa to operate.

The last thing you want is to for you to invest time and money into building your brand on a platform, only to be told that they are now being shut down due to not having the proper licenses to operate.
