Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in content creation but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Doug Utberg, Podcast Host of Terminal Value, located in Newberg, OR, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
I partner with mid-sized businesses to reduce their contract-based expenses without any up-front cost and with zero risk. I also help aspiring entrepreneurs reduce their healthcare costs and build profitable online businesses.
Tell us about yourself
I was terminated from my corporate job in April 2020 and decided to carve out my own path. I am motivated to create value for everybody I meet and help them to create the best life they can possibly achieve.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
I have interviewed nearly 300 people for my podcast, Terminal Value. I like to think of accomplishments in terms of the people I meet and network with since money comes and goes, but people and relationships are what create the future.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
The feeling of isolation that happens when your friends and/or family don't understand what you do and keep asking when you are going to go back to working a 'real' job.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Never be afraid to change anything or everything.
- Distance yourself from the people who are not propelling you toward becoming your best self.
- Make mistakes and learn from them without ever giving up.
