Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in personal development but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Dana Bowling, Founder of Get Started Inc., located in Los Angeles, CA, USA.

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

I work with entrepreneurs and small business owners by helping them SHOW UP ON VIDEO and create strong content for their online presence.

Tell us about yourself

I am a former award-winning Casting Director and used to work for Disney, Nickelodeon, ABC, FOX, and other networks and studios. After having children, I chose to leave that business and start my own business coaching actors. The business grew so fast due to my online social media content, and I started helping other entrepreneurs do the same. NOTHING makes me feel happier than when I help someone start confidently showing up online.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

Starting with ZERO business knowledge and building a 6 figure business from home in under 18 months with virtually no overhead.

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

Staying motivated when things are challenging. Make sure you don't overdo it and burn out. Relying on just yourself to keep going. Taxes! LOL!

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

  1. Pick something that not only you CAN do, but something you ENJOY doing - or else it won't be sustainable.
  2. Get help doing the things you don't enjoy/are bad at.
  3. No one actually knows what they are doing. But they keep trying.
