Do you want to know how to start a business—and how to launch and scale your product or service? Paul Akers is the mind behind the multimillion-dollar company FastCap, and he’s going to teach you the steps to starting a business. FastCap began in Paul’s garage in 1997 with one innovative product. Since then, he’s expanded FastCap into a global business that launches over 30 products every year and distributes to over 40 countries. Entrepreneurs and executives from all over the world are on a waiting list to tour his manufacturing warehouse, and top companies like Amazon and Mercedes Benz repeatedly call on Paul to speak to their teams about business and productivity. In part 2 of our interview, we’ll further explore Paul’s insights on starting a business and learn about funding a new venture. He’ll share his best tips on how to start a company along with insights on launching and marketing new products. We’ll talk about hiring and team building and the things Paul wished he knew when he first started. Starting your own business is risky and rewarding.
