Social media was the key to the group's growth. "There are so many social media outlets: Twitter, Periscope, Instagram. Instagram and Periscope- -- the live-streaming app -- allow anyone to follow along on our trips,'' she said. "If the Internet was a geographic location, Facebook would be the capital. It is where everyone is. If you can start someplace where everyone is and then push out from that point, you have the opportunity to do something special."
Robinson always knew she was going to be an entrepreneur, but she did not know what it was going to look like. While she is an artist first, Evita Turquoise Robinson is still figuring out the world of being an entrepreneur and knows it is important to trust the process. If you have a passion and want to build it into a business, Robinson has a few tips.
Just do it.
Break out of analysis paralysis. Nothing starts in perfection--it does not matter who you are or how much money you have. At some point, you have to jump and build the parachute on the way down. Just do it.
Learn as much as you can.
Robins said when she launched the business she was "a little bit of a lone wolf where I tried to learn everything. I never want to create a business where if one person leaves, they can derail the entire system, so I try to learn as much as I can. You should know how to do as much as possible.''
Ask for help.
"You feel like you can be an island, but learn to open up and ask for help,'' Robins said. "Once you see your idea has promise, put the proper people in place. I picked my team from my members, so I did not have to sell people on the idea, they were as passionate about it as I am. I know they will get the job done.''
