Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in business development but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Dave Makin, CEO of Nexus 6, located in West Des Moines, IA, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
We are Nexus 6 Marketing, and we work with business clients that are looking to change things up and tell a better story.
Tell us about yourself
Long story short, I don't jive well when working for corporate America. I've never been one to do something because it's always been done that way. I like to challenge the status quo and strive for what's possible, not just do what is currently being done.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
We've won tons of awards and have clients all over the country. But at the end of the day, being told by my staff that this is the best place they've ever worked that's my big win.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
Doubt. Whether it's others or yourself, it's always there and always persistent.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
To start a business, you need to be full of yourself. To run a business, you need to be humble. To grow a business, you need to be a leader. It's not easy. Otherwise, everyone would do it. That's what makes us entrepreneurs unique.
