Have you been thinking, “it’s (finally!) time to launch my own startup but I’m not sure where to begin?” Have no fear, The Simplifiers to the rescue! 

My special guest today is Trevor Blake and he is simplifying how to launch a startup, the simple way. Back in the day, starting your own business meant loads of capital investment, a million dollar idea, living in Silicon Valley, and attracting the very best talent for top dollar. Well, you still need that incredible idea that people desperately want and will gladly pay you for it… BUT, you might not need as much money to get things up and off the ground as you think.

Trevor gets to the core of what you’ve got to have in place before you launch, tapping into affordable tech tools and the growing surplus of qualified freelancers to help you get your new venture up and running without running out of cash.  

Here’s how.

Trevor Blake simplifies how to launch a startup, minus the stress.

In this episode, you will learn:

• Why he believes “there’s never been a better time to start your own business than NOW”
• What the number one common mistake more than 80% of new startups make… and how to avoid doing the same
• Why he thinks that women-led businesses are much more successful than ones led by men
• How he structures his 5-hour workday; how to make it work in the launch phase and still run a successful, profitable business 
• What the 3 phases of launching a startup are and what critical actions you need to focus on in each phase:
• • Starting
  • Surviving
  • Thriving

Launching a startup does NOT need to be complicated.
