Learning as we go!

We are now in our 5th month of operating our own Answering Service.  We have a few clients- but not enough! We've been busy figuring everything out and getting our business up and running.  We've had a few surprises.  Such as advertising, its more expensive than we had anticipated.  Marketing also, its more time consuming than we thought it would be. We do realize that both advertising and marketing are vital parts in helping our business succeed. In the past 5 months we've learned starting a business is time consuming and takes dedication.  We know we have a lot more to learn on our journey to being successful business owners.
