Real People, Real Business is my online show featuring business owners and entrepreneurs who are in the trenches, creating and growing their dream businesses, one step at a time. Sometimes we need inspiration and answers from folks who are closer to where we are, and who share the same experiences, constraints, challenges and opportunities that we do.
I’m Stephanie, and I work with experienced business owners who are trying to figure out what’s next in their businesses. They have pushed themselves to achieve enough success that they know their business is viable, but feel they have run out of options for growth. I help them create a new vision and strategy for their business so that they can feel completely aligned, excited and energized about their new direction with a clear path for financial and personal growth.
IN THIS EPISODE - "STAYING THE COURSE AS A BOOTSTRAPPED STARTUP"
---------------------------------------
Tommy Yionoulis is the founder of OpsAnalitica, a SaaS platform that helps multi-unit businesses manage and measure their daily team activities for more consistent operations.
In this episode, you’ll hear how Tommy went from being a “non-techie” guy working in the restaurant business and moonlighting as a standup comedian, to founding his SaaS company, OpsAnalitica.
As a business owner, Tommy shares the ups and downs of bootstrapping a software startup and how he finds the motivation to keep going and not give up. You’ll learn from his experience how to leverage automation to free up your time when you don’t have a team; how to know when you should hire salespeople; and whether obtaining private equity funding is the right decision for your business.
Finally, Tommy talks about how critical the support of his spouse has been to building a bootstrapped business, the development challenges specific to building a software company, and the mindset that motivates him to keep driving forward through the hard times.
If you’ve ever had times where you felt like giving up on your business, Tommy’s story will inspire you to keep going, so join our conversation!
