Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in social media marketing but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Lyndi Bruellman, the Vice President & Operating Partner of 98 Buck Social, located in Miami, FL, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
We're a Social Media Marketing Agency that focuses on small businesses, offering services in social media, advertising, SEO, and photography. We also offer an Academy course that teaches anyone who has the desire to start an agency the framework they will need. Our content is all created by US-based employees, which is what sets us aside from most of our competitors.
Tell us about yourself
I was exposed to entrepreneurship at a very young age, as both of my grandfathers and parents owned their own businesses. My drive and motivation stem from my hunger to grow and learn as a leader, in addition to providing a fair and desirable workplace for our employees and contractors. There is no greater satisfaction than the opportunity to service other small and medium-sized business owners while helping them grow their businesses and livelihoods.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Contributing to the success of my employees where they were unable to succeed previously.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
The first few years of becoming a business owner take a lot of humility, time commitment, and asking for a lot of help with very little money going into your pockets.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Find a business partner that compliments your skills, talents, etc.
- Be prepared to live off of savings/investments for at least the first 6-12 months.
- Use automation, workflows, and software to limit spending on human capital for administrative functions.
