Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in marketing but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Ashley Bright, Founder and Owner of fwd digital marketing, located in Nolensville, TN, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
fwd digital marketing is a resource for local small businesses that don't know what to post next on social media or how to get more Google reviews.
Tell us about yourself
Small business owners are my favorite client partners because they're creative and flexible, and the impact of marketing on their business is tangible. I enjoy working with like-minded entrepreneurial people because it keeps my days fresh, and helping other businesses grow is rewarding.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
My biggest accomplishment as a business owner is keeping a constant flow of iteration in my business. I am always thinking about how/when/where to morph my business model, and the approach has served me well over the course of the past ten years.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
The most difficult aspect of being a business owner is learning to ruthlessly manage your time so that you serve your business and also give your best self to your loved ones, especially children.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Keep evolving.
- Manage your emotions.
- Just do it.
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
I think that there is more opportunity today than ever before for parents —especially mothers of young children— to create a blended work lifestyle that allows them more time with their children and enjoy fulfillment from working. The 40-hour workweek with health insurance and a 401(k) is a dated model.
