Getting Started: Business advice for founders

Shannon Little left her job in marketing with the Huey's restaurant chain in Memphis to start her own solo marketing and social media venture. Such ventures at first glance might seem like a dime a dozen, leaving her with a task that had to be addressed before meeting with her first client.

She now handles marketing and social media efforts for several small businesses and is able to juggle all the tasks that go with that because she took the time to form a plan for herself at the very beginning.

"Define your target audience, your offerings and what value those offerings can bring to that audience," Little said, "My business became stronger, and my processes more streamlined, when I was able to define those terms."

Potential project could bring new apartments to Overton Square

MEMPHIS, Tenn. - A Midtown project could bring 16 new apartments to the Overton Square area.

The Flats of Overton Square is being planned for a vacant lot on the corner of Monroe and Diana.

LaSonya Hall works for Graduate Memphis, and works with plenty millennials. She told FOX13 this is a building Midtown needs.

“I think that any time that there’s an opportunity to bring new housing developments and an opportunity to bring new innovative young millennials to the area, I think it’s awesome,” she said.

The project would include 16 apartments. Four of them would be live/work spaces, which means can live in the same spot their office is located.
