Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Melanie Ziltener, Founder of Tripod Business Services, located in Ajax, ON, Canada.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
I help small businesses and entrepreneurs with all of their online writing needs. From blogs, web copy, email newsletters, and social media, our team helps you with the content you need to connect with your audience and showcase your authority.
Tell us about yourself
I started this business because I believe in the power of words! Everyone has a story to tell and value to offer their audience, and it's so important to structure it in such a way that it has the most impact.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
My biggest accomplishment is seeing the difference in my clients' lives. Whether it's regular content freeing up my clients' time to pursue other priorities or seeing their business grow because they've been able to widen their exposure. I also love seeing my clients show up more confidently online because they know their audience better and what their audience needs to see from there.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
One of the hardest parts about being a business owner is knowing what advice to trust. There is a lot of noise out there, and it can be hard to sift through and find what will be valuable for you and what will move your business forward.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Be patient. Nothing happens overnight.
- Have three types of business friends - one who is further ahead than you that you can learn from, someone at the same spot as you to compare notes, and someone that is just starting out so that you can pay it forward.
- Remember that your business is YOUR business, and YOUR success will look different than someone else's.
