Two broke girls was an amazing series, controversial, raunchy and just flat out hilarious. From start to finish we watch them grow as people and as entrepreneurs. Without further ado here are 10 entrepreneur tips from 2 broke girls.
1. Be realistic and own it
Okay if you have seen this series you know the stars, Max Black truly has there ever been a funnier, more down to earth, blunt and direct. Caroline Channing, who was born rich but is now disgraced and penniless, she may have her breakdowns but overall she was realistic about her current situation and owned it every step of the way.
2. Keep track of your net income
You know that lovely small clip at the end that showed the balance, you know how fun it was to see whether it went up or down. Why not do it for yourself, Review Review Review, its fun and it helps plan for the future.
To calculate your net income take your total income and minus any costs, expenses, and taxes you've incurred. By keeping track of your net income you have a better idea of how much money you actually have.
3. Budget
Good budgeting means that you keep proper track of how much you're earning, and how much you're spending. Now they did splurge on "stupid" stuff, but they always put money aside for their business.
4. Start a side hustle
Can we hear a Amen!!! "Multiple Income Streams" are the three magic words of making money. Max and Caroline constantly take on extra jobs and side gigs on top of running their own business and being waitresses.
5. Don't rush to quit your day job
One thing I love about 2 broke girls is that no matter the "big breaks" the girls didn't rush to quit their day job, we knew they "hated" working there but they stuck through it
6. Persevere, it ain't always going to be rosy
Lets be honest, the girls hand some really funny and realistic drawbacks. from their idea being stolen to bad press, they went through it !!! But they always kept going, that perseverance and a little bit of luck went a long way.
7. Network
Whenever the girls wanted to start a new business (started the dessert bar) or expand clientele for their existing businesses they went networking for clients. They constantly knew their audience and where to get them.
8. Invest in Yourself
When Max and Caroline do make money, they invest it wisely. Be it a retail location for the bakery or continuing education classes, the girls choose to put money into their business to make it thrive.
9. Sustainable fashion
Occasionally skipping the fancy department stores can be a pocket saver, yes it may be a huge adjustment if you're used to spending money like Caroline; but if she can do it, so can you. Frequently get some sustainable fashion items, pop into secondhand and thrift stores, you'll be surprised what you can score. One person's trash is another one's treasure.
10. You need a support system
Okay the gang wasn't always the most sensible but they were like family, having a strong support system is actually a must. As entrepreneurs you would need a strong support and advisory system in order to turn startup ideas into valuable businesses.Your personal pit crew is essential for the your development and improvement.
