What's your business, and who are your customers?
Eight Hats provides website hosting, software solutions, and support for businesses, marketers, and marketing agencies.
Tell us about yourself
I first became interested in this company after working for a few marketing agencies that all seemed to have the same problem. They would hire a website developer, and that developer would fill the role of support, development, and customer service.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
I would say that my biggest accomplishment is finding people that have the drive and the desire to want to better themselves and train them how to do the job to give them the opportunity to better their lives.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
I would say trying to complete all the responsibilities that come along with it while also making everyone happy.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Believe in yourself.
- It won't always be easy.
- Trust your people.
