Supporting Start-up Businesses

Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in business services but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Brandi Fox, Founder of B. The Entrepreneur Consulting Agency, located in Charlotte, NC, USA.

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

B. The Entrepreneur Consulting Agency specializes in business plan creation services, business funding support, and step-by-step entrepreneurial start-up guidance for new and aspiring entrepreneurs.

Tell us about yourself

I started my first business, Pamper Us Mobile Massage Service, in 2011, when entrepreneurship support wasn't as prevalent as it is today. I grew my business through a lot of trial and error, and as my business reached a level of stability, a lot of family members and friends would ask me for tips about how to start a business. From there, I started hearing within my community of entrepreneurs of color how hard it was to get the start-up business support that they needed. When I saw this need, I decided to transition all of my entrepreneurial experience and training to start B. The Entrepreneur Consulting Agency to support new entrepreneurs in the start-up business process.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

My biggest accomplishment as a business owner has been my ability to start and successfully scale four businesses that have allowed me to support my family and friends by being able to provide them with job opportunities and entrepreneurial support. In addition to seeing the happiness on my clients' faces when they realize that they do have what it takes to start and grow their dream business, sometimes all you need is a little guidance.

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

Patience. Social media has 100% tainted the image of true entrepreneurship. They skip the years of tears, failure, and frustration in exchange for presenting a false image of what it looks like after you've put years of "skin" into the game. As an entrepreneur, you have to realize it this is a marathon, not a race; some of the most successful businesses took the time to make sure that their business model had a strong foundation. Once that is in place, your business has no other option but to grow and thrive.

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

Create a plan. Make it plain. Execute.
