Begin your journey by joining a marketing agency. This will allow you to acquire vital skills, gain hands-on experience, and most importantly, establish meaningful connections. Foster these relationships within your workplace, among colleagues, and even virtually via platforms like Linkedin and other social networks. Interact with clients who might eventually evolve into partners or colleagues.
Once you've gathered substantial experience and honed your skills, channel your passion into freelancing. Start small, offering your expertise to a select group of clients as a specialized or boutique marketing professional. When your freelance work begins to generate substantial income, take the bold step of leaving your primary job.
Believe in yourself! Stay dedicated to your goals and ensure you're surrounded by a robust support network. Starting your own marketing business is no easy feat, but remember, many have walked this path and succeeded, and so can you.

The two best resources I know of for starting a business are this workbook (https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/bc/content/ldsorg/topics/self-reliance/2017/14678_sgmb_book_eng.pdf?lang=eng) and Dave Ramsey's book EntreLeadership.

Hi there,
Embarking on a journey with a marketing agency could be your golden ticket! It's a fantastic opportunity to acquire essential skills, gain practical experience, and build meaningful relationships.
Staying current with all things marketing is key. Don't hesitate to engage with those who've walked this path before you. Partnering with a mentor can provide invaluable advice on how to navigate the process of setting up your own business.
I'd highly recommend enrolling in a business course. It'll equip you with the necessary skills to effectively market your business and manage it to ensure success. If funds are tight for starting your own business, consider working in marketing first. This way, you can build a reputation and establish contacts that will be beneficial when you're ready to launch your business.
When you're ready to open your marketing business, remember that a solid business plan is crucial. Set clear goals, identify what you want to market, and research strategies employed by other successful businesses. Don't forget to pinpoint your niche - knowing your target audience is crucial. And of course, always deliver on time.
Wishing you all the best on this exciting journey,
Margaret

Hi Mayda,
Building on Eden's extremely useful advice, you can also take your first steps by self-studing marketing and leveraging online courses, which offer flexibility and a breadth of knowledge. Aditionally you can keep an eye for and join industry conferences and workshops that will give you access to fresh insights and potential mentors and collaborators. Anothet idea would be to experiment with personal projects or volunteering to apply your skills in real-world scenarios. As you build confidence and expertise, you can document your journey and lessons learned and maybe create a blog or social media channel, gradually positioning yourself as a thought leader in marketing. It's important to embrace a growth mindset, continuously seeking out new learning opportunities and staying open to feedback. I think that this approach can contribute to your efforts in building a solid foundation for your future marketing business, giving you the freedom to innovate and expand globally.
Remember - your future brand needs to be an authentic reflection of your identity and passion! That not only sets the groundwork for success but also can differentiate you in the market.
Hope that helps!
Best regards,
Nikolas
