Step 2: Build a Brand That Represents You

Many small business owners make the mistake of waiting too long, thinking they need a flawless logo, website, and branding kit before starting. The reality is:
✅ Your service and client experience matter more than your logo.
‍✅ Your messaging & niche are more important than visual perfection.
‍✅ Clients will resonate with the results you provide, not just your brand colors.

Step 3: Learn From Successful Brands

One business I admire here in Colombia is Macizo Café (Visit Their Website). Their branding is not just about their logo—it’s about the customer experience. Their website, Instagram, and content all tell the same story: high-quality products, passion for coffee, and a strong connection with their audience.

Step 4: Legalize Your Business & Protect Yourself

✅ Protects you from legal liabilities
✅ Allows you to open business bank accounts & manage finances professionally
✅ Builds credibility and trust with potential clients

1. Register Your Business – Choose the right business structure (LLC, sole proprietorship, etc.).
2. Get Necessary Permits & Licenses – Check your local/state laws.
3. Set Up a Business Bank Account – Keep business finances separate from personal.
4. Consult a Lawyer or Use Legal Resources – Consider reaching out to an attorney or using reputable legal sites like:
   ‍SBA (Small Business Administration)
   ‍LegalZoom
   ‍Rocket Lawyer

By setting up your business legally, you protect yourself before problems arise.
