Go Global: Turn Your Startup into a Global Success

Hey Small Biz Owners,

Welcome to this week’s edition of Small Biz Tips! Today, we’re diving into some gold nuggets shared by Chris Folayan, the mastermind behind FounderCentered.com on leveraging your expertise to build a global empire.

I’m perplexed and inspired by his story and the life he has lived.

Imagine arriving in the United States from Nigeria with just $250. That’s exactly how Chris's story begins. He came to college, discovered the boundless opportunities in tech, and went on to build successful businesses, where hundreds of people were working for him at 20.

Like always, I’ve highlighted three key points from his story that you can apply to your entrepreneurial journey to level up your business game

1. Hire Your Network

As an entrepreneur just starting out, finding the right people can be challenging. Chris’s advice? Hire your network. Understand that you can’t do it alone. Bring in people you can learn from and lean on for wisdom. Your network is a treasure trove of potential talent and support.

2. Start from Where You Are

Chris emphasizes the importance of beginning with what you have. Build something and multiply it. Chris did this when he realized he was running low on the money he brought to the States.

You’ve already come so far—now’s the time to start something that will set you up for life. Don't wait for the perfect moment or resources; use what you have now to create and grow. Because the truth is, there will never be an ideal moment or opportunity to start. That’s why you’ve got to go all out for it!

3. Focus on Your Core Ideas

In the early stages, you’ll have tons of ideas, but not every idea deserves a shot. This was what Chris said- pivoting everywhere is distracting. And I couldn’t agree more. Calm the influx of ideas and stick to your initial vision. Only pivot due to business or legal necessities. The winning ideas are often the ones you started with.

And here Biz Owners, is where wisdom comes into play.

Every big business starts small, so use these insights to drive your journey forward.
