There’s a million small bits of advice that you’re going to need when creating your own startup. Sometimes, legally, you’re required to have a board of directors. But even if you’re not, Carolyn Kepcher advises that you do it anyway.
She says:
What amazing advice. I love this.
For example, you might not be aware of the fact that you can use Internet fax instead of a fax machine, but someone on your board of advisers, might. You might not know that you can save money using Gmail instead of buying Microsoft Outlook. You might be thinking of renting a somewhat expensive property, when one of your board knows someone with something cheaper.
The list of potential good advice to be given by a group of knowledgeable business people goes on and on. Don’t feel like you must rely on your knowledge and understanding alone. There’s so many people out there willing to help you build your enterprise. You just need to ask. And the results can be miraculous.
