In this episode of Community, Kristina and CEO of Thrive Accounting Staci Millard are talking about whether or not you should be making trades in business.

For this purpose a trade is the voluntary exchange of goods or services between parties instead of monetary payments.

Trades always come with some risk, especially if the terms aren’t clearly defined, tune in to hear:

• Whether Staci and Kristina support making business trades.
• Stories from their own experiences making trades.
• How to negotiate payment terms instead of making trades.
• The importance of using contracts, even with friends.
• How to make partnership deliverables clear.

Sometimes what seems like a win-win on the surface can quickly become complicated behind the scenes.

Join us for this episode as a reminder that contracts keep friends and that poorly defined trades lead to blurred expectations and misaligned deliverables.

Kristina and Maria are celebrating 5 years of The Social Snippet today and to celebrate, each of them are bringing the top 5 lessons they’ve learned from their time scaling an agency and navigating life as a full time entrepreneur. 

This is a raw and honest conversation about the highs and lows of building a sustainable business from the ground up.

They discuss: 

• Trusting your instincts and learning to be careful who you take business advice from. 
• The value of mindset and investing in yourself to grow your business.
• The importance of surrounding yourself with the right people and being willing to hire people who are smarter than you.
• Why not all advice is created equal and not all the dreams you are sold are real.
• How major growth requires investment and sacrifice.
• Their dreams for the next 5 years.

These last 5 years have been the most expansive and life changing years for Kristina and Maria. So many lessons learned, people added to their Kanye lists, and incredible businesses served.

They are as excited for the next 5 years as they are grateful for the past 5. Thank you to all The Social Snippet’s clients, employees, and community members for lifting the business up and allowing it to become what it is today. We are so grateful for you!
