Mom Biz Solutions with Lara Galloway, The Mom Biz Coach

It's Spring (or so the calendar says...), and that means change is in the air. Today I want to talk about your marketing methods. Most of us mompreneurs tend to fall into a habit of doing the same thing all the time. Perhaps we've chosen blogging as our major marketing platform. And we think that as long as we're blogging, we are doing the work that must be done to market our business. But if that's all you're doing, you're seriously missing out on a ton of other opportunities that could help catapult your business in front of your audience. Join me today as I discuss lots of different options you could try out for marketing your mombiz!

So many of us mompreneurs decided that working from home was the answer to our prayers. After all, we need the freedom, flexibility and fulfillment that working in and office for someone else can't provide, right? But there can be a down side to that freedom and flexibility. We can lose sight of what it means to have a start time and an end time to our work hours each day. We can get caught up multi-tasking lots of house projects and work projects, and not really getting much done at all. And without a boss or a manager lording over us all the time, we can lose focus and spend a lot of time being really busy, but not doing work that matters most. 

Join me today as I share tips to help you make the most of your flexible work-at-home-job without sacrificing the productivity and focus you need to achieve your goals.

There's no doubt about it: Women (and especially women with children) who attain high leadership positions in Corporate America are being watched like hawks these days. Sheryl Sandberg and Marissa Mayer are hot topics on most of the blogs I read these days. The choices they make for their businesses are, obviously, charting the path for their success (or failure). But the mompreneurs I'm talking to are more concerned with the choices these women leaders are making for themselves and their families. They're looking to these women to figure out what might be possible for themselves. Today I'll give my take on how these choices affect mompreneurs like us.

We're all trying to squeeze more into our days, especially mom entrepreneurs. We strive to get more done in less time. But for many of us, this sounds great, but is hard to accomplish. What does it take to be more productive? And what's actually getting in our way of accomplishing things we know we need to do?

I'll talk about the sneaky tricks we play on ourselves that sabotage our efforts to be more productive and run our small businesses (and our households) more efficiently.

How to build customer loyalty without losing yourself

Customer satisfaction is worthless. Customer loyalty is priceless.—Gitomer

It’s clear that earning our customers’ loyalty is critical to the success and growth of our businesses, and every small business owner should strive for serving and honoring their repeat customers. Yet it can be a slippery slope if you feel like your clients are asking you for things that you CAN provide them, but that you didn’t actually WANT to provide them. If you have ever found yourself bending over backwards to make a client happy, but felt a lot of frustration and resentment in doing so, this audio blog is for you.
