Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in freelancing but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Seth Thompson, Owner of AsherMediaCo, located in Sacramento, CA, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
Online marketing/advertising and my clients are businesses that are trying to sell products online.
Tell us about yourself
I'm 19. I started this business when I was 18. I started it because I like to write (copywriting), and I just wanted to do something with my life, so I decided to start a business. That's also the reason that I keep going.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
I've made a good amount of money just from my laptop.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
Sometimes just holding yourself accountable and not becoming lackadaisical. I'm my own boss, so I have to keep myself in check and always be hungry for something more.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Just start, make mistakes, learn, and go through the process.
- Never give up. It takes time and lots of failures.
- If you really want to start a business, it must be the only thing you think about to a certain extent. You must be obsessed and become an expert to provide the necessary value to succeed.
