Meet Neisha Davis, business owner and and, and host of Entrepreneur’s Takeover

What are the top 5 Things you need to know when starting a business?

Do your own research

Make sure you know everything there is to know about the industry you’ll be working in so you can succeed.

Before you start your business, conduct some research on the market. Know the industry you want to go into, as well as the important players and potential competitors. You should research your market before you start spending money on advertising. One of the simplest ways to start is to look at other businesses that offer comparable products and services. These businesses will almost certainly be your rivals. Without having to go through the process, you can discover what works and what doesn’t by watching what they’re doing.

2. Determine your audience

Take time to focus on whose attention you want to grab. This group of people will have an impact on every decision you make. Knowing who needs your product or service can help you perfect the offerings and ensure that your marketing and sales efforts are directed to the correct audience. Understanding whether you’re a B2C (business-to-consumer) or B2B (business-to-business) entrepreneur is crucial. Know who you’re talking to. A defined target market will help you better acquire new and repeat customers.

“If you don’t know what you want to achieve in your presentation, your audience never will.”
– Harvey Diamond (#1 New York BestSellers)

When you know your audience, your audience is receptive to your message. Every consumer journey starts with content that focuses on people and their needs.

3. Map Your Finances

Starting a business requires an investment, which you may not have right away. Therefore, you must look for new ways to raise funds. Make a strategy for how you’ll pay for initial costs, whether it’s with your own money, money borrowed from friends and family, or a small business loan. Estimate how much money you expect to make with a clear business plan.Plan how you’ll put that money to good use, and examine the disparity between your strategy and reality.

4. Create a Business Plan

A business plan lays out the measures you’ll need to take to establish and expand your company. This document is critical for developing a company focus and obtaining and retaining financing. A business plan guarantees that you present your firm in the best possible light to other professionals who are analyzing it. Even if you don’t think you’ll need it, draw together a professional and polished business plan so you’ll be ready to hire executives, raise funds, or expand when the time comes.

5. Find a Mentor or Get Professional Help

No matter how appealing it may seem, starting a business should not be a solo journey. Finding people who have been on this road before you can help you get on the right track. Connect with other professionals in your field, attend industry-specific events and conferences, and reach out to thought leaders in your field to learn more about their strategies. Learn directly from someone else who has gone through the process to help you set up your new business for growth.

Small business expos are the largest and most effective way for online businesses to meet their customers in person. By connecting entrepreneurs to customers, small business expos motivate start-ups to chase their dreams.

Atlanta, entrepreneur, event

A Native of New Orleans, Louisiana, Neisha is a young, female, entrepreneur with multiple businesses.

As the youngest of three siblings, Neisha has always been around music, talent, and southern culture. The majority of her family are artists and musicians. Although she comes from a creative background, she had some struggles growing up as her mom was addicted to drugs and her father was in and out of her life and passed away when she was 12. After that, tragedy struck again with Hurricane Katrina and she had to relocate. Having always been extraordinarily strong and very independent, Neisha made her way to Atlanta, Ga. She used to always feel abandoned and often questioned her purpose but had faith that her trials and tribulations would pass and she would have a fairytale ending. Now she has made it her goal and purpose to help others find their own. Even though her journey has not been smooth, they make Neisha who she is today and she appreciates the journey and the process.

It has never been an easy path from my childhood to adulthood. I have always been very independent with a string drive to be successful. I have gone through so many obstacles over the years and still to this day. I have had many setbacks, but even more major comebacks. I have faced so many challenges that have caused me to go harder for what I want to achieve. I believe that if you continue to strive, your opportunities are endless, but the challenges are always going to be there. My strategy for success is staying on top of everything and knowing a little bit about everything.

Check Out “SURVEY SAYS” Featuring Lex Luger & Shanique Marie

808 Mafia, Atlanta, lex luger, Trap Music

Composer Michael Vincent Waller fuses Classical and Trap on his new song “SURVEY SAYS”, his first single from the forthcoming CLASSIC$ EP available this Spring.

By interwining the worlds of classical, hip-hop, and trap music, the song blends dreamy textures and minimal classical tones over a bouncy soundtrack. Female singer/rapper Shanique Marie of Jamaican collective, Equiknoxx, celebrates the pride and joy of unity and self-love on the vocals while co-producer Lex Luger flips MVW‘s original composition, “Love 1”, from his album Moments, into a hypnotic and mesmerizing sample.

“Classic$ blends hip-hop and contemporary classical music in a very hybrid setting. Rap music has sampled classical features for decades, but rarely do we see post-Philip-Glass minimalism incorporated, where these neo-classical cinematic influences are at the melodic core of the entire production. This sample-inspired composition process yields new results in the introspective and hypnotic textures in trap music.”
MVW

Michael Vincent Waller is an American composer based in New York City. His music has been described as lyrical and introspective, drawing inspiration from impressionism, post-minimalism and world music. In collaboration with noted soloists and ensembles including R. Andrew Lee, Stephane Ginsburg, Dante Boon, the S.E.M. Ensemble, and Ensemble Dedalus, Waller’s work has been performed at Carnegie Hall, ISSUE Project Room, Roulette, Palais de Tokyo Museum, and SXSW.

The first female of Equiknoxx, one of dancehall reggae’s most innovative production teams, Queen of the Eternal Children, Shanique Marie mixed her influence of Reggae with Jazz to create a fresh sound while keeping her other roots in R&B, Hip Hop on her critically acclaimed UNO EP. No stranger to the airwaves, her breakout single “Coconut Jelly Man” featuring Cali P enjoying worldwide rotation, being playlisted on radio stations in Switzerland and Amsterdam amassing over One Million streams, with constant play in the United Kingdom, Poland and in her homeland, Jamaica.

“‘Survey Says’ is about absolute positive self-worth,” adds Shanique Marie. “Working with Michael came naturally as we both came from classical backgrounds. I grew up as a trained jazz vocalist and Michael is a classical pianist. Everything just gelled. That’s why we are on a journey to create even more music to make people feel good”
Shanique Marie

Lex Luger has produced tracks on Rick Ross’s Teflon Don, Waka Flocka Flame’s Flockaveli (which he produced 11 of the 17 songs), Slim Thug’s Tha Thug Show and Kanye West’s and Jay-Z’s Watch The Throne. He is noted for using impossible-to-play drum-machine programming that utilizes the sounds of a Roland TR-808 in a fashion for which the original machine was never designed. Luger has also worked with artists such as Wiz Khalifa, Juicy J, Soulja Boy, Snoop Dogg & Tyga.
