Smith Advertising Offer Advice on how Young Entrepreneurs Can Make their Mark

    MIAMI, FL, May 28, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Being a young entrepreneur isn't easy, it is a career path that throws up many challenges, as well as a career path where individuals will experience many bumps in the road claims Smith Advertising. Unfortunately, age can be a discriminating factor, as a 40 year old entrepreneur is much more likely to be taken seriously compared to a 21 year old. They also face many other age related problems including a lack of resources - young people tend to have less flexible incomes and money to help them grow their idea into a prospering venture - as well as a lack of experience making it harder for them to make tough decisions. Smith Advertising, direct marketing specialists and supporters of entrepreneurship, offer their advice on how young entrepreneurs can make their mark.

Despite many examples of hugely successful young entrepreneurs, such as Mark Zuckerberg and Evan Spiegel, the number of private companies owned by people under 30 is at a 24 year low, and Smith Advertising are trying to change this through their Business Development Program. The firm has had great success through this program, coaching and developing young entrepreneurs into successful businessmen and women. The free program is open to all, regardless of educational or occupational background. It teaches participants all aspects of business management as well as the business fundamentals of Smith Advertising including: campaign management, brand protection, marketing and sales techniques, motivational and public speaking techniques as well as sales and promotions.

Young entrepreneurs can break down the barriers and make an impact by following Smith Advertising's advice:

1. Rise above the crowd
Entrepreneurship is a hugely competitive market, investors are flooded with pitches, and in order for young entrepreneurs to stand out they must be better than their competition. They must take the time to research, understand the marketplace, and create a compelling value proposition.

2. Take advantage of resources
Young entrepreneurs often have to overcome educational debt and as a result it's incredibly difficult to raise the capital to start their own company when they're already in debt. With education costs at an all-time high, it's tempting to skip the college degree. However many
Universities have programs for aspiring entrepreneurs, offering access to technology, and provide opportunities to obtain proof of concept. This provides a great test market for a business or concept.

3. Capitalize on underemployment
Entrepreneurs should make underemployment work to their advantage. There's a lot of prime talent not being capitalized on that can be acquired at post-college salaries. There are many individuals that are educated, tech-savvy, and hungry for success - and young entrepreneurs should snag them for their team.

4. Always have a student mentality
There is a lot of risk associated with entrepreneurship, but there are ways to limit the risks.
One of the simplest ways is to learn from other people's failures. Understand why the predecessors failed and discover how to avoid repeating their mistakes. It's also critical to constantly be learning and growing. Knowledge is power and the most successful entrepreneurs are always seeking new learning opportunities.

For many, overcoming the barriers to millennial entrepreneurship is all about being smarter, faster and more agile than the competition. It's not enough for a young entrepreneur to be just on top of the on-goings about their company; they must also be educated on industry trends and what's happening across the board.
