I Had a great interview with Josh Ripley of JERiCo Metal works. I love interviewing people that are in different genres than I have interviewed before and Josh fits that to a T.
We talked metal work, but more than that we talked mindset, marketing, finding your and marketing to your ideal clients. There are a few things that really stuck out, I love that Josh took advantage of being laid off from the Covid situation to start his own business. It also started because he need to build furniture for himself. He is monetizing what he needed to do. Love it!
Josh had several great insights on business and especially taking that first step – getting started. Which is that hardest step.
Another fun interview with great information.
Enjoy

- You need to know your ideal client and where to find them. Get feedback so that you know what they want.
