The cornerstones of S2B
At Springboard 2 Business we focus on helping young adults improve in three key areas of business. We refer to these cornerstones as the ‘Three Ms’. These are:
-
Understanding money is key when starting any business. Funding is crucial and spending wisely ensures effective use of resources, which leads to growth and profits. Financial management helps in decision-making, cash flow management, and future planning for entrepreneurs.
-
Marketing is crucial for business growth and success. A strong brand makes a business stand out in a competitive market and builds a connection with customers. Focusing on specific groups (target markets) maximizes resources and investment returns. Overall, marketing is essential for starting a business, establishing a good reputation, gaining brand recognition, engaging customers, and growing loyalty.
-
Starting a business involves more than just planning and decision-making. Managing the day-to-day operations is a crucial part. Managing a business means making sure everything runs smoothly, including finances, operations, sales, and customer service. Good management involves creating and implementing strategies, using resources effectively, building relationships with suppliers and customers, and monitoring progress. It also means making smart decisions, handling challenges, and adapting to changes. Strong management skills are essential for building a solid business foundation and driving growth and success.
