EPISODE 210 of The Local Small Business Coach Podcast

Lessons Learned from Watching Small Business Revolution

In today's episode: Small Business Owners Share the Same Frustrations & Problems. After watching Season 1 of the Small Business Revolution online, you really come to the realization that regardless of your town/city size, we all have similar challenges We are more alike than we realize. I thought I'd share some of my takeaways from this season that I think are great business lessons that we all can learn from. From knowing your numbers to partnering with other businesses, I think you will see you have more in common than you think.

QUOTE OF THE WEEK: If you struggle with other business owners bad mouthing your business, I think this week's quote is a great saying to embrace and remember, in the end, success is the best revenge.

Do You Own Your Business or Does it Own You?

In today's episode:

Working too Many Hours and Feeling Your Business is Out of Control? If you are missing out on life and feel like you have no control, I think you know the answer. Far too often we are working 50, 60 or 70 hours a week with no time to sleep, workout, spend with family, take vacations or enjoy the things we do when not working. If this sounds like you, then you are probably being owned by your business. Let's talk about how to claim back your life and start owning the business vs it owning you!

Why You Need to Stay in Touch with Your Past Customers

In today's episode:

It is Easier (and Cheaper) to Keep a Customer Than to Find New Ones. Too often, we spend our time and energy trying to track down new customers or clients. The reality is we need to do a much better job at keeping and retaining the ones we already have. Not only is it easier, it is much cheaper! We will go over why this is important but also discuss how you can go about this and what you should be checking in with them with. I think you have a great opportunity if you grasp this one best practice.

EPISODE 203 of The Local Small Business Coach Podcast

Never Be Embarrassed By What You Don't Know

In today's episode:

Have you ever had a business question that you were just too embarrassed to ask as you felt you would be judged or it would come across as a dumb question? Well, you aren't alone. Many folks, especially longer-term business owners, often don't ask for help when they are seeking information that would help them grow their business. You should never feel ashamed or embarrassed by your question. You are asking for a reason. You want to improve! I want to push you to ask the questions you need to grow your business, no matter how small or how "stupid" you might think they are.

EPISODE 201 of The Local Small Business Coach Podcast

Stop Working to Survive and Start Working to Thrive!

In today's episode:

Are you working to survive or thrive? Bottom line is, you will earn what you tell yourself you are worth! Too many small business owners focus on what they need to earn to take care of the bills and their families, instead of focusing on what it will take to provide an outstanding life. When we focus on survival, that is all we allow in and we subconsciously make decisions to fit that number vs the bigger goal. We will give into this on this episode and work on the steps needed to increase your income mentally!
