How did you learn about "marketing, recruiting, accounting, legal, management" ? Do you have prior background? And what kind of market research did you do to find a hole in the market that you can fill?



My main business, coalitiontechnologies.com, taught me those areas of business.

I learned marketing working for another digital agency 15 years ago, recruiting I just carefully studied the market for years and tried and failed lots of time to learn how it worked, accounting I took two courses in, legal I learned dealing with several small claims and a couple of superior court suits plus a great class, management I learned from Manager Tools podcast and years of trial and error.

My market research was just observing how hard it is to find good construction trades help and then trying to put up some marketing to see if we got leads.
