147 - Starting an IT Business: The Parts No One Posts on Social Media

From installation gigs to consulting, startups, and survival—this episode pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to build an IT-related business. Moving beyond the polished stories often shared online, the discussion unpacks the operational, financial, and people challenges that founders face in the real world. The panel debates whether freelancing is a smarter first step before starting a company, if technical founders tend to underestimate operations and process-building, and whether small IT businesses can survive without certifications or formal frameworks. The conversation also tackles a hard truth many avoid: should startups prioritize sales before chasing technical perfection? This episode offers grounded insights for anyone considering—or already navigating—the realities of running an IT business.
