[powerpress] How to Turn a Hobby Into a Booming Business w/David Hirschkop - EP139   In this episode I am joined by Dave Hirschkop from Dave's Gourmet. Dave took an idea and passion he had and turned it into a successful thriving business. In this podcast Dave will reveal his story about how get first got started and the lessons he has learned along the way as an entrepreneur and business owner. His brand and company Dave's Gourmet has been featured on major media platforms such as The Food Network, The New York Times and the Wall Street Journal. Here are some key business takeaways that Dave shares with the listeners: DEMAND IS EVERYTHING - If you have a great idea for a product or service then you have to make sure their is actual demand for it in the market. You can easily use platforms like Amazon to launch new products that you can test in the market to get valuable feedback. You should always seek valuable feedback from your audience and customers to help you improve your product. SEEK HAPPINESS - While having an aggressive business strategy is important to maximize sales and profit you may realize that your happiness and sanity are more important. Sometimes you may want to trust your guy and take your business in a direction that you find more fulfilling instead of always stressing about making more money. OUTSOURCING - Hire experts wherever you can to help you run and maintain your business. Spend time doing the tasks that you are good but try to outsource or hire people to manage tasks you don't want to do. Try not to be the jack of all trades when help and experts are easily accessible. Essentially don't be the bottle neck in your own business. For your online business and e-commerce needs consider hiring from the Jungle Market or Freeeup.com.
