Fox Talks Business Podcast

Today I am talking to you about how I was reminded about the importance of all my business relationships and how they can convert to profit over time. 

I share my story and 3 lessons that I hope will help you look at your connections differently. 

Everyone tells you how important education is, so we get one. Then they tell you that networking is the key to a career or running a business, so then what?! No one really teaches you how to do this even though it is one of the biggest skills.  Mark Herschberg has noticed this and created The Career Toolkit to help you gain all the skills for success that no one has been teaching. 

We talk about interviewing skills from sitting on both sides of the table, what being a team player means, and of course networking versus selling and the mistakes commonly made.  He also gives us a peek into what it was like to write the book and some of the struggles he faced.

Have you ever sat at your desk and thought, someone else really needs to do these tasks for me! Amanda talks to us about time tools, how and what to delegate, good communication, questions to ask when hiring an assistant, how it can keep money in your pocket and more. 

Amanda Hamilton is the founder of Hamilton Raye “Your Outsourced Admin®” , which brings professional remote administrative support to startup organizations and businesses. Prior to starting Hamilton Raye, she spent ten years working in the corporate retail industry. She had a very successful career in production and sourcing where she had the opportunity to learn best practices for staying organized, managing constant changes in priorities, and finding process efficiencies to reduce workload. Loving the scope of her work and her team, but craving personal and professional growth, she longed to work remotely in order to live and work anywhere she pleased. Intrigued by the ‘digital nomads’ she would often read about, Amanda decided to take her fate into her own hands. 

As Amanda started to connect with Founders, CEO’s, and small business owners, she saw a white space opportunity where these individuals were wearing multiple hats and looking for more time in their days and weeks. The most necessary piece of being a business owner is to maintain maximum efficiency and productivity, by keeping your schedule moving and remaining highly organized.

The last thing anyone usually wants to do is walk into a lawyer’s office.  Most of the time it is because that means that you are in trouble. Business owners often don’t use a lawyer until they are in hot water but Jeremy is one lawyer that is working to change that stigmatism. A lawyer is someone that needs to be part of your team from the beginning to help you navigate so you have plans in place before you get into sticky situations. Not only does this save you time and money but also helps you not to have to get stuck in the first place. 

Now I know some of you may be thinking that most lawyers talk to you like you are suppose to understand the language, and that can be true but this is why this episode is one you want to listen to. Jeremy uses plain english to help you understand the law, what to look for, why you need it and then how to go about making that happen. 

He has also provided so many amazing resources just for you Foxy Listener so don’t forget to head to our blog here to get access to them all.

Do you ever suffer from trying to be everything to everyone ? I fell into this trap once again just recently. Once I am sitting in the 'mud' something causes me to look around and realize, "Oh I'm here again." This time, that something was constant anger. 

In today's episode I talk to you about that and an amazing book that I have been working with to help me see these trends and finally do something about them before I spiral.  It has been a lot of work, tears and looking deep but the results have been amazing in a short period of time so I wanted to share in case anyone else is finding themselves in the mud and thinking, "Here again!?!"
