We've interviewed thousands of successful founders at Starter Story and asked what advice they would give to entrepreneurs who are just getting started.

Here's the best advice we discovered for starting a towels business:

#1: Andy Jefferies, founder of Dock and Bay:

We chatted with with Andy, founder of Dock and Bay ($450K/month). In our interview, Andy says:

Don’t be put off by the big picture, doing all the small steps first allows you to get started. Things like deciding on a company name, registering your company, purchasing your domain, designing a logo... All of these small steps can get you inspired and help you move forward with your goals.

Additionally:

Use the power of social media to your advantage, it’s amazing what you can achieve with a well-focused advert. They can out-perform any other form of marketing with great exposure to people quickly and cheaply.

#2: Andy Jefferies, founder of Dock and Bay:

We chatted with with Andy, founder of Dock and Bay ($450K/month). In our interview, Andy says:

If you have a product-based business that is growing fast, be super wary of the impact your stock buying decisions can have on your future cash. Especially if seasonal.

Additionally:

Know what you're good at and fill the rest of the gaps with awesome, driven and passionate people. Don't try and learn everything yourself, you never will and will just slow yourself down and de-motivate yourself. It took me about 2 years to learn that and for me and my business partner to separate out our focuses accordingly.

#3: Grace Druecke, founder of The Bali Market:

We chatted with with Grace, founder of The Bali Market ($12K/month). In our interview, Grace says:

Learn the retail basics. I know my retail background helped me create an eCommerce store that has a sturdy foundation. Laying the foundational work first means you’ll have a better chance at success later.

Additionally:

I’ve learned that I can’t build a business in a bubble. My best ideas seem to materialize when I’m at a hotel bar having happy hour drinks with friends or family. Personal connections have proved to be the most valuable assets.
