Despite entrepreneurs liking to put themselves up on a pedestal of excellence, you’re still in fact a human being (at least for the time being until AI takes over your soul). You’re still prone to the same mistakes humans have been making since existence, so here’s a refresher on three things to look out for in your own behavior and thought process when it comes to strategy and planning.
A poorly designed and/or functioning website also makes your life more difficult in other areas of your company. Critical areas that you NEED to be performing well if growth is the goal
How are scale and growth different? Most of the time, when those in the business community are speaking about scale, they are speaking more along the lines of scalability or how extreme are the economies of scale as we grow.
Everyone/Everything does not have a “brand”.
A brand is a commercial construct. It’s a determined and planned approach to positioning, marketing and psychology.
A respectable reputation is not a brand.

Especially when it's a legitimate startup with an amazing product you want to get into the hands of the consumer. We had all the pieces but needed Jeremy to help us turn it into a viable and marketable business to raise capital. Jeremy was quick to help and had the expertise and contacts to get us in the right position to move forward. We could not have done it without him and he continues to be a resource even after the business planning phase. If you are in need of consultation and startup guidance he provides A to Z support to meet you where you are and get you to the next level, regardless of industry. Thank you Jeremy!Clifton Sweat2024-05-09I reached out to Jeremy with a business idea and he turned my passion into a lifestyle brand. Jeremy, Victor and the team created a solid business plan, an amazing website and provided ongoing support throughout the entire process. I was completely new to the E-commerce industry, but Jeremy and Victor have been there every step of the way. Their knowledge, experience and professionalism is top notch. mymangrovecoast would still be an idea if it wasn't for Jeremy's direction and vision. Come check these guys out if you have a business idea. I highly recommend StartUp Street.andrew pugni2024-05-01Jeremy does an unbelievable job at providing guidance with start ups. One of the few last in the game that genuinely wants to see his clients get their footing in the right direction. I recommend him on any day that ends in Y. 10/10 serviceRory Faulkner2024-04-16Jeremy and his Startup Street team are exactly what my startup company needed. I needed rebranding, a new website, an investor pitch deck, and consultation through each step of the business startup process. I got all of that at a reasonable price from an energetic and super knowledgeable local pro. But before calling Jeremy, I had spent months researching and interviewing several branding and website companies, pitch deck consultants, finance/proforma consultants, and angel investor organizations. It can be overwhelming starting a company, especially for someone new to entrepreneurship, and I feel lucky that I found all the guidance I needed in one dude, Jeremy. I went from stressful disorganization to a man with a plan with Startup Street. Jeremy used an organized approach to getting everything done in a few short months. Now I have a beautiful website with branding we are proud of and our pitch deck is leading to meetings with investors. Jeremy doesn't stop there, though. He stays engaged and proactively calls me to keep me on track to make sure we hit our capital raise goals. He's done this many times before and has the answers to my questions before I even ask - a true consultant. And now he is going the extra mile in helping to get private investors to fund our company. He's got a great attitude and is a fun guy to be around. He gets it. And now he's my friend. If you need help rebranding or a new website, then hire Startup Street. But more importantly, if you need to get ready not to embarrass yourself in front of investors, then definitely hire Startup Street!Jacob Amezcua2024-04-15Jeremy and his team have been amazing through the entire process of our rebrand and website updates. He is willing to hop on long calls with us and really figure out what we are looking for and the communication has been excellent. We are very pleased with the results of our websites, and we look forward to continue working with him on future projects!Andrew LeBaron2024-04-15Our site and brand are 🔥🔥🔥 thanks to Startup Street!

Thankful for Jeremy and startup Street!Andrew LeBaron2024-04-15Jeremy and Startup Street is EXACTLY what we were looking for in a STR brand. He got the job done fast, it was designed very well, and helped us redesign our logo and brand. Our website looks pro and we couldn’t be more grateful!Three Forks Wood Reclamation2024-04-08We recently had the pleasure of working with Startup Street and we are beyond impressed with the level of service and expertise they provided! Jeremy Griffin and his team were instrumental in setting up our company website for Three Forks Wood Reclamation. The website turned out to be not only visually stunning but also highly functional, surpassing our expectations. What sets Startup Street apart is their commitment to going above and beyond. As new entrepreneurs, venturing into the business world was both exciting and daunting for us. That's why we are incredibly grateful for the guidance and support we received from Startup Street. Jeremy personally took the time to understand our business vision and goals. He provided invaluable advice that helped us refine our business plan and create a pitch deck that truly resonated with our target audience. His insights and suggestions were crucial in shaping the direction of our business. Jeremy also directly connected us to key people within his extensive network. We were subsequently published in a local magazine, professionally photographed for online content creation, and - amazingly - even connected us with overseas scouts specific to our business of wood reclamation! All of this further increased the momentum and business development created by the incredible web site he built for us. Jeremy and his team were more than just service providers; they were mentors who guided us through the early stages of our venture with patience and expertise. The professionalism, attention to detail, and proactive approach of the Startup Street team were remarkable. They were always available to answer our questions and made the entire process seamless and enjoyable. It's rare to find a company that genuinely cares about your success as much as they do. We wholeheartedly recommend Startup Street to anyone looking for top-notch website development and business consulting services. Their dedication to excellence and customer satisfaction is unparalleled. Thank you, Jeremy and the Startup Street team, for being such a valuable partner in our journey. We look forward to continuing our collaboration in the future! • Christian and Chris, Co-Founders of Three Forks Wood Reclamation
