Share your elevator pitch for scaling your business.

ASSIGNMENT

Why are you leaving the garage? Share your elevator pitch of how and why you plan to scale your creative business. Feel free to words, video, images, or links. Together, we can learn from each other's experiences (and mistakes) and grow as entrepreneurs!

I'm excited to see where you're at, where you're headed, and whether or not scaling is right for you.

DELIVERABLE

Share your elevator pitch in your Project Workspace. Feel free to jot some thoughts, get feedback, and update it over time.

1. Introduce yourself. Extra busy? Start with just your name, and come back to flesh it out later!

2. Introduce your company. Consider:

Embedding a YouTube video
Writing a paragraph or two
Adding a few images
Uploading a pitch deck as a series of images

3. Finally, share your 2-5 year vision.

Note: If you've already scaled your business, feel free to share before-and-after photos of your company digs — what your business looked like when you first started, and what it looks like today.

Startup from Gimlet media. Listening to this, especially season 1, was emotional for me. It's a real time account of starting your own business. A rollercoaster ride of emotion, especially if you've been through it before.
