Starting a company is one thing and making it successful is another. To build a successful venture, you need to prove to the public and your target audience why they should buy your products/services, which can be difficult, especially for a young business owner. Having walked this journey, Antonio Rivodo, a young entrepreneur, shares what it takes to start and build a successful brand.
Rivodo is the CEO of the leading company, RivX. At 27 years old, Rivodo has succeeded in different businesses, including marketing, real estate, door-to-door, and creating passive income for investors through automation. Rivodo has also helped Fortune 500 companies launch strategic marketing campaigns, such as Chevron, Marathon, Mobil, and Exxon. Rivodo has also built organizations in the network marketing space and owns a real estate business.
Here are his secrets to success:
Invest in your brand
“Your brand highly determines your success, and how you portray yourself/business will affect your relationship between you and your customers,” says Rivodo. In addition, he notes that investing in your brand will help you stand out from the competition, increase lead generation, and build solid long-term relationships with your clients.
Learning should be a continuous process.
According to Rivodo, learning should be a continuous process to achieve long-term success. The business world is constantly changing, and with new trends come new needs. Therefore, you should invest in learning to understand your audience and give them what will help them unlock the next level in their journey.
Rivodo has managed to stand out from the competition and build a successful venture at such a young age, partly because of his unique approach. Rivodo is an industry hacker because he can break down any business and implement strategies and innovative systems to optimize it, making it more efficient and profitable.
Gain proper knowledge
“When you have an idea of what you are up against, you can look at the problem from different angles and come up with a solution that will help you grow your brand,” says Rivodo.
He explains that more than just knowledge, you should prioritize gaining proper knowledge that will help you succeed and bring positive change to the world.
Learn from others in the industry
Being an expert in a given field doesn’t mean you know everything. However, you get to learn something new daily, and surrounding yourself with great minds can help you reach your goal much faster.
Rivodo explains that when he started his journey, he struggled to understand the industry and overcome obstacles. So, he invested in his circle, networking events, and reading books. Rivodo also got himself a mentor, a step he says greatly helped him build his brand to where it is today.
Remain confident and humble at all times
According to Rivodo, most people overlook the importance of humility as they assume others will see them as pushovers. On the contrary, being confident and humble doesn’t equate to being a pushover. Instead, it’s all about understanding that there are more experienced than you who have accomplished more than you and rather than seeing them as competitors, work with them to bring change in an industry. Rivodo also emphasizes the importance of not giving up.
