Everybody knows entrepreneurship is hard - you are guaranteed to go through the highs and the lows.

On this episode of TAG! We talk with Corey Patrick of the Youngstown Business Incubator.

Corey talks about how when your business is at your “lows” it’s their job to keep you going forward and keep pushing you because when you push through that’s when you hit that next breakthrough.

The Youngstown Business incubator is definitely a unique incubator. They focus on growing businesses not just in Youngstown Ohio but all over the world.

They offer help to any entrepreneur - no matter where they are located. In fact one of their mottos is “You can have an effective and successful start up company anywhere in the world - no one cares where it’s located.”

Some of their clients include tech/software companies, 3D Printing Companies, Consumer Packaged Goods, Lifestyle Businesses as well as businesses founded by minorities and women.

They are INCREDIBLY good at helping entrepreneurs grow by providing them resources, helping them with funding and getting them connected to the right people and businesses that will help them flourish.

Corey shares about some of the biggest challenges entrepreneurs face. For most it’s funding. Corey says it has gotten better over the years for sure due to different opportunities for funding that are out there now, but there is always a demand for more.

He also shares that most businesses fail because they are not willing to pivot or they are not coachable, or perhaps they lose interest over time because the business isn’t paying the bills or they are frustrated because they didn’t become an overnight success.

On this show Corey offers advice and tips on how a new business can bring themselves to market more effectively. He also walks through how to do proper roadmapping and market research for your business as well. He also shares about how important a brand is and how a brand can make or kill a startup sometimes.

If you are an entrepreneur and you are trying to grow your business - You DEFINITELY want to work with Corey and the YBI.
