The beginning of billie
Share
When starting off our journey with billie & co., we spent a lot of time on Google searching for the best ways to plan, execute and grow a business. We looked up big and successful companies and researched their backgrounds, how they started, who their co-founders were, and the ‘why’ behind their business. We asked people in our network a million questions and tried to connect with new people who have gone through a start up process before.
In the end, we landed on a never-ending list of ‘what to do’ vs ‘what not to do’ that all contradicted each other, which ultimately put us back to square one. With a little nervousness in our mission but enough ambition to get moving, we decided to take the leap of faith and launch. We realised no matter how much research you do, companies you aspire to be like, or people you talk to, we weren’t going to get any closer to our goals if we didn’t make a move and be open to learning and failing on our own.
We're a young (and fun) start up, and we’re excited to start sharing candid reflections on our experiences, the challenges, pivotal milestones and the inevitable obstacles along the way. Every month we’ll share something new and hope that our insights are not only relatable, but motivational to someone who is in their Googling phase of starting something new.
We also ask a small favour from anyone (still) reading this to like, comment or share our posts, so it not only helps us grow, but helps to get our posts in front of a few eyes who are on a similar path.
P.s. here is a photo on the day we decided to kick off billie & co.! The guys in the back represent how we were actually feeling 10 minutes prior. 📸
