Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in business development but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Andrew Weith, Founder of ASW Global Consulting, located in Portland, OR, USA.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

Our business is one of challenging the status quo. We consult and advise our clients, who range from Fortune 500 companies to leading wholesale distributors and manufacturers, to retail operations, all the way down to local restaurants, mom and pop shops, and solopreneurs.

Tell us about yourself

Our entire team is motivated by knowing there are people out there looking to change and looking to improve, but they typically just do not know where or how to begin.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

To be in business for FIFTEEN years, starting as one person to now a multi-person operation, with resources across the globe.

What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?

Figuring out how to punch the clock and take a break.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

  1. A little bit of planning goes a long way. If you don't have a 5-year plan...don't start.
  2. Delegate. Any solopreneur is going to be obsessive about their service or product being exactly as they would deliver it. But the greatest satisfaction is seeing your team deliver to a happy client...and you didn't have anything to do with it!
  3. R&R is critical. You WILL burn out if you don't take a break - physically, mentally, and emotionally.
