I am just starting a new business and have zero entrepreneur experience. Does anyone have any good advice on good ways to network/succeed?

Helping a great organization expand in Colorado. Also helping the community with it at the same time

PVT Karl Goode Always remember that your name and your word are your biggest asset. Word of mouth will be invaluable to your business.
1. Always provide the best product or service possible
2. If you make a promise you must keep it
If you make a mistake, make it right

I ran a small carpet cleaning business for 5 years in Alaska. I made $40.00 per hour on average when I worked. I only broke one item in a customer/friends house. I sincerely apologized, owned my mistake and made it as right as I could. I never lost them as a customer or friend. I closed the business only because my Deployment schedule and gaining rank reduced my time to run it properly. Rather than provide half a$$ed service, I recommended another provider to my customers and shuttered it. it was an invaluable lesson for me in business and in how such a business can positively impact the business owner and the customers!

Good Luck!
