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 DIY business:

#1: Robert Reno, founder of Ship Our Wedding:

We chatted with with Robert, founder of Ship Our Wedding ($6.25K/month). In our interview, Robert says:

Beat to your own drum and don’t compare yourself to others. The goal in business is to stand out. You only have one competitor in this world and that is yourself. Take the road less traveled and blaze that trail.

Additionally:

Automation is key to success because you can scale more quickly without stress.

Further:

We are now one of the largest DIY wedding draping suppliers in the country. What if we never took that risk?

#2: Mark Tyrol, founder of Battic Door:

We chatted with with Mark, founder of Battic Door ($135K/month). In our interview, Mark says:

I have a colleague who told me “Businesses do not fail, people quit.” I decided to not quit.

Additionally:

I continue to work as an engineer full time, working at Battic nights and weekends. Finding time to get things done has always been challenging. But because I was earning a living working elsewhere, Battic could grow organically at its own pace.
