  • don’t assume people are broke » 5 lessons we can learn from Starbucks. [140]

    Are you assuming everyone around you is broke? Well, NEWSFLASH » Starbucks isn't. 

    That line that wraps around their stores hasn't changed. 

    The 8+ MILLION cups sold daily are a testament to the fact that people buy want they want, when they want it. 

    So, how can we as small business owners grab up some of their confidence and use it in our own businesses? Let's dive in to the psychology of Starbucks...

  • 5 actions to consistently grow your business. [139]

    I bet you can add to this list of 'things' - but let's start with these 5: 

    1. Create a morning routine. (Go to bed earlier.)

    2. Have a schedule. (Keep the promises you made to yourself. Then fill in the rest.)
    3. Do it. Even if you don't like it. (It's not a fun fact, but it's true.)

    4. You are what you consistently do. (Right now, what would you be?)

    5. Consistently Improve. (In any and every day of your life.)

  • 7 tips for making graphics that don't suck. [136]

    I can't believe it, but I have been a graphic designer for nearly 20 years! I started out in college, later opened my own company and now I use it nearly every single day in my own business. 

    Oftentimes I have friends and business partners come to me and say 'I wish I could design as well as you!'. Now I kindly remind them that I have been doing this for a couple decades but then simply encourage them to keep working at it! I truly don't believe someone needs a degree in graphic design to learn the steps to create graphics for their own business. 

    In this episode of the podcast I share 7 tips for how to make graphics that don't suck! Let jump right in...

  • are in you in the 'sell it, do it' cycle? [134]

    Did you know that each year Americans start one million new businesses and nearly 80 percent of which fail within the first five years? 

    That's a wild stat and one that MANY people have worked diligently to change. The book 'Pumpkin Plan' by Mike Michalowicz has done a great job on helping small biz owners to focus on the right things. 

    In this episode of the show, I not only dive a bit into this book but also share my personal stories on how his principles have impacted each of my businesses in powerful ways.

Hi, my name is tena and I talk... a lot. So I figured I may as well put these vocal chords to good use. This isn't my first podcast but it just might be my last. See, my passions are probably not…
