Small Business Spotlight: Meet Shayna Boston by Terri Shayne

There are more than 300 virtual businesses online and we asked Shayna what makes her business unique from all the rest? She said that BostonFirst is unique because they provide administrative services remotely to their clients. Their level of involvement is completely driven by their clients. Their clients save money by paying for the time that they use with access to skilled and experienced administrative professionals for a fraction of the costs it would be to hire someone in-house.
Someone looking in from the outside would say that’s a money saver for a small business owner especially the first couple of years in business. Don’t that sounds like BostonFirst makes it easy for small business owners to focus on the more important tasks like growing the business? Yes, it does by taking away the overwhelming duties of day to day operations so that they can focus on what’s imperative to grow their business and customers.
As with any new business, there are obstacles that one faces. With more women stepping out on faith to open their own business, we asked Shayna with her business being new; what obstacles has she faced? She said that she really has not experienced in obstacles in her business. However, being a mother she learned that work-life balance is a myth, but work-life integration is obtainable. It takes a village to raise a child and to run a successful business. This is good advice for those thinking about stepping out on faith to launch their own business.
Before we closed our chat with Shayna, we asked her to give some business tips and advice for others thinking about taking the entrepreneur route. Her advice and tips are genuine and encouraging for any newbie planning to make their departure from corporate America to Entrepreneur.
Understand that you are in business to solve problems to make a profit. Make sure your business clearly identifies the problems you solve and why they should hire your business over another business.
Surround yourself with positive people and those who are where you want to be. Mentorship is going to be your key to success and will accelerate the learning curve. Hire a business coach to get the dedicated guidance you need to grow your business.
