Challenges on the Way
- Pam found it hard to get into the sales and marketing strategies for her business since she has no background.

Overcoming the Hurdle
- Showing your determination by showing up every day and being consistent is some of the first few steps.
- To attract prospective customers, Pam says a business must consider its franchise model, and it should be unique.
- Be open to other people’s ideas to strategize on marketing your business.
Learning Entrepreneurship
- Pam highlights the importance of having a skill set and using your talents to utilize the growth of your business.
- You have to work on your business, not in your business.
- It is also essential to recognize your weaknesses or to recognize unnecessary things that would not be helpful for your business.
Controlling Emotions
- Never let your emotions affect your work ethic.
- While the business is growing, all of you must work together as a team.
Making Adjustments
- This is one sacrifice every business has to make.
- According to Pam, it was risky because this change means she might lose some of her potential customers.
- Never be afraid to make changes or adjustments, such as increased rates, as long as they are reasonable.
Advice for Acquirement

- If these are aligned with your core values, everything will work out smoothly.
