Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Marilyn August, Founder of Profit GPS, located in Las Vegas, NV, USA.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

Profit GPS is a "done for you" B2B Social Selling company that leads with LinkedIn sticky profiles and Lead Gen services. My clients are small to medium consulting firms, coaches, and speakers. I also work with commissioned sales professionals who see their revenue accelerate by 30% or more.

Tell us about yourself

I started my business with my transformational training, "Money-Wealth & Wisdom," to dump the head trash that blocks even the most hardworking business owner from breaking through revenue roadblocks. My business evolved into a solo practice advising business owners on sales and marketing and evolved again with the advent of social selling. What drives me is revenue breakthroughs. It does my soul good to be part of that journey to living beyond what they thought possible.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

The ability to adapt to changing business climate. Writing my book - Journey to Wealth & Wisdom (currently out of print), Courage to keep on keeping on. Helping thousands of people break through.

What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?

Looking inside and shifting gears when needed.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

  1. Clarity - what's your WHY. Get help! Pay a consultant or coach because you're too close to your business to see clearly.
  2. Focus - be ready to confront your fears. Owning a business is the most confronting personal growth training you'll ever do.
  3. Direction - Have a GPS - Goals - Plan - Strategy. Do not buy anything; everything people promise you are the magic pills. It's a journey unlike any other you'll ever take.
