Following up on our last episode. Jennifer, Jack & Staci discuss ways that you can successfully plan for Q1 during a busy last quarter.

You still need to plan for January during this busy time of the year.  As you develop financial goals you want to be sure to also think about staff and technology goals as well.

• Leave room for spontaneity
• Include your team in planning; ideas come from everyone
• Constantly review where you are at so you know where you are going
• Rethinking your timetable can help spread business tasks throughout the year
• Expenses can often be thought of as investments; reframe your thinking
• You work in your business all the time but it takes intentionality to work ON your business.

Welcome to The Business of Business: Two Daughters & Their Dad where we talk about all things entrepreneurial.

It’s just the Two Daughters today since The Dad is a bit under the weather.  Don’t worry, Jack will be back in our next episode.

Jennifer and Staci talk about the importance of your business planning on how to give back - in terms of hours, products, and cold, hard cash.

They highlight the benefits and differences of giving time, gift cards, cash, sponsorships, and organizing events for your staff and customers and then how each provides something different for your businesses.

Nuggets for fellow entrepreneurs include:

 - You must have buy-in from your staff; they need to know the importance of the event and the cause
- Annual events create buy-in from your customers
- Donate because of the impact on others, not because of the deduction
- If you can’t give money then think about how you can give time or talent
- It’s OK to say no; have a focus
- Always, always, always communicate with your staff

Difficult conversations; yes that’s our topic.   We all need to have them, whether it’s with business partners, employees, vendors, volunteers, and more.

Jack, Staci & Jennifer each share some of the best ways they have learned to have these conversations.  From sending a mass email to all employees (a very bad idea) to stopping and addressing it in the moment, The Dempseys share some great tips.

Nuggets include:

- Don’t be emotional
- Addressing in the moment can lead to an immediate course correction
- Is it truly an issue or just a bad day?
- Make it a teachable moment
- Clear communication is key
- Don’t lack courage
- Roleplay and be prepared for rebuttals
- Stay on topic and listen
- Tough conversations do get easier as you grow your skills.
