Welcome to the Level Up Podcast. I'm your host, Paul Alex. I went from being a cop to an eight-figure entrepreneur that helps average people like you and me make money every single day. I created this podcast to help you get motivated and to crush your goals. Let's win together.

Remember, I have your six. Get ready to level up right now. What's up everybody and welcome back to the Level Up Podcast. I'm gonna be your host, Paul Alex. And today we're diving into a journey I know firsthand, how to build a business from scratch and succeed. Starting from zero can feel overwhelming, but with the right approach, you can set a solid foundation and build something that actually matters.

So let's break down the steps to make that happen for you. First, you got to start with a clear vision. You need to know what problem you're solving and exactly who you're solving it for. Too many businesses out right now, especially in 2024, are failing because they're shooting in the dark without having a clear target, guys.

So you gotta define your ideal customer, understand what they need, and you gotta build your ideal customer, understand what they need, and you gotta build your business around providing real value. Your vision is your North Star. It's what guides every decision. So get crystal clear on it from the start. Second, take action.

Even if it's imperfect, guys, one of the biggest traps for new entrepreneurs is waiting for that perfect moment. Let me tell you, perfection doesn't exist here, okay? Not in real life. You got to launch with what you have, learn as you go, and adapt based on real feedback, okay? That's how you run a business. It's far better to get started with a minimum viable product than to wait and lose momentum here. So, progression beats perfection every single time.

Third, you gotta focus on building relationships. I always tell people this is a people to people business. Your network is one of the biggest assets you ever have in your life, especially when you're starting from scratch. So connect with potential customers, mentors, even competitors guys, yeah, competitors, even competitors guys. Yeah competitors talk to them. Building a business is as much about the people as it is about the product.

People remember how you made them feel, how you served them. So focus on creating some real value and building that trust. Those relationships, there's what turn small beginnings into big opportunities. And lastly you got to stay consistent with everything guys and be resilient. Okay, starting a business, it isn't easy. It's actually hard. And setbacks are going to be a part of your journey. Guaranteed guys, there's no way around it. So if you stay locked into your vision, you keep learning and show up every single day, success will follow you. Resilience and consistency are your best friends when you're building something from the ground up. Now guys, bottom line, building a business from scratch and

succeeding means having a clear vision. You got to take action. You got to build strong relationships and you have to stay resilient. Every great business started somewhere and yours can too.
