EPISODE 169 of The Local Small Business Coach Podcast

I Can't Be More Invested in Your Business Than You Are

In today's episode:

Throughout the years, I have coached or mentored quite a few people. I love being a coach. I love seeing people achieving their goals and dreams. Folks come to me seeking "What would Tammy do" and I freely share what I would do if I was in their shoes. They ask, due to my experiences on what works and what doesn't.

What drives me nuts? When they do nothing with the advice. I'd be ok if they would try something, but in many cases, they don't try anything. Yet, here they come again asking the same questions. Ugh! Listen, I can't be more invested in your business than you are. I can't be pouring myself into your solutions if you aren't going to try anything to change your situation. Let's discuss

Thanks for listening!

EPISODE 167 of The Local Small Business Coach Podcast

Today's Tip – Is it Wrong to Be Motivated by Money

In today's episode:

Is it wrong to be motivated by money? Today I answer this question from someone that is wondering if it is wrong. Besides, it isn't money that motivates you but rather what money affords you that really motivates you! Money can afford so many things in our life: college, nice house, charitable giving, you name it. And if that is what gets you up and going, go for it!!

Thanks for listening!

Focus on New Home Owners to Grow Your Business

In today's episode:

A great way to increase your local small business is to focus on the new folks moving into town as well as those new home buyers. You are always looking for new ways to drive business. Don't underestimate the potential sales and profits that new homeowners can be. They will need the services and products that you have to offer. Plus, if they are new to the area, they will be looking for local business owners to help them both inside and outside of the home. Make sure that you are the business that they meet first.

Thanks for listening!
