The Business of Business - Two Daughters & Their Dad

What if I told you that the key to a successful business lies in the fine details? Like a precisely placed flower on Mother's Day, or the way you maintain a welcoming ambiance? Intrigued? Good. Because together we, and you, our listeners, are diving headfirst into the world of small business touches. We're taking a magnifying glass to those often overlooked details that can make or break a customer's experience. Get ready to understand the significance of attentively tuning into customer feedback, ensuring consistency in standards, and the importance of the first impression in businesses.

Who knew that the cleanliness of a physical space could leave such a lasting impression, or that consistent class timings could act as a deciding factor for customers? In this engaging conversation, we pull back the curtain on these seemingly insignificant aspects. We explore how these micro details can form macro impressions. From the importance of visible signage to stocking bathrooms with essentials, every detail counts. Join us as we navigate this less-trodden path of business management, and prepare to walk away with a renewed perspective on running a successful business.

4-14:  Nervously Excited Motivation Part 1

Welcome to Season 4 of The Business of Business: Two Daughters & Their Dad where we talk about all things entrepreneurial.

Jennifer is nervously excited, motivated by her staff’s successes and the growth of her business.  Entrepreneurial motivation ebbs and flows, but health pressure can benefit you and your business.

The Dempseys talk about how motivating it is when your team meets its goals and how that can change future conversations and the direction of your business.  Growth and innovation can come from both excitement and pressure.

This episode also addresses how your why will see you through the good and bad times.

Today’s Nuggets:

• Be selective in what you share with your staff versus your sounding board bubble
• Remember your why; it serves as your guide during good and bad times
• Muscles must be under stress to grow
• Show up even when it’s hard
• Keep that 5,000 lbs flywheel moving
• Stepping away can sometimes help your motivation

Welcome to Season 4 of The Business of Business: Two Daughters & Their Dad where we talk about all things entrepreneurial.

Are you using AI?  Are you an embracer, or do you want to stay far away?

No matter where you are, your business must determine if, when, and how AI can be incorporated.  From helping write blogs and emails to taking phone calls, AI will soon touch every business.

Today’s Nuggets:

• Technology will bring disruptions, but that is growth
• Jobs exist today that weren’t even thought of a decade ago
• Run toward the AI opportunity, not away

4-12: with guest Hannah Connor of Ramblin’ Sol Farm

Welcome to Season 4 of The Business of Business: Two Daughters & Their Dad where we talk about all things entrepreneurial.

Today we are joined by entrepreneur Hannah Connor.   Hannah owns Ramblin’ Sol Farm with her husband Joe Soto.  When they came to Cream Ridge in the fall of 2019, Hannah and Joe thought it was just another stop on their endless journey. They named their new farm Ramblin’ Sol as they wanted to take the name with them wherever they ended up next. The universe, however, had other plans.

Ramblin’ Sol Farm is a certified organic vegetable farm, serving more than 50 CSA customers as well as local farmer’s market communities.

The conversation is lively and Hannah hits on a common theme:  they knew a lot about farming but very little about running a business.  From how to find money to start a business to creating boundaries and using social media effectively, join us on a great story of #entrepreneurship.

Today’s Nuggets:

• Referrals and recommendations are key
• The naysayers are often wrong; don’t let them overshadow your joy
• Set boundaries for all partners and family members; stay in your lane
• Systems make your business more predictable 
• Walk out your vision

You can find Ramblin’ Sol Farm online, on Facebook or via email: [email protected]

Welcome to Season 4 of The Business of Business: Two Daughters & Their Dad where we talk about all things entrepreneurial.

How do you stay motivated when you lose your joy?  When every day seems like an uphill battle?  When you spend more time working in your business than on your business?

Some days are just hard.  The constant struggles with staffing, customer & staff expectations, inflation, COVID, and simply the pace of change in today’s world can take their toll.   Today, Jack, Jennifer, and Staci discuss how entrepreneurs can stay motivated and lead their businesses through rough patches.

Today’s Nuggets:

• Use these times as an opportunity to grow
• Business owners need to continue to show up
• Give the best you can on that day
• Life’s got hands; its beating you up a little bit

Welcome to Season 4 of The Business of Business: Two Daughters & Their Dad where we talk about all things entrepreneurial.

This episode is all about online reviews.  They are something every business has to embrace; both the good and the bad.

First, Jack Dempsey offers a quick reminder that Q1 is over and now is the time for your 90-day check-in.  Now is the time to step back and make adjustments to your yearly plan and systems.

Then, the Dempseys talk about online reviews in a lively conversation that is loaded with #nuggetalerts.  The discussion focuses on not being afraid of reviews and how you can use them to grow your business and employees.

Today’s Nuggets:

• Entrepreneurs are in the heat of the battle every day
• Reviews are a teaching/coaching tool
• Social media allows employees and customers to share experiences in real-time
• There is some truth in all reviews
• In the “old days” word of mouth traveled just as fast
• Don’t run and hide from reviews
• Reviews are emotional for business owners
• Have a system in place for dealing with all reviews

Welcome to Season 4 of The Business of Business: Two Daughters & Their Dad where we talk about all things entrepreneurial.

New Initiatives.  Our businesses should constantly evolve, meeting our customers' needs, wants, and desires. But how do we know when to make changes and then how to do so?

Jack and Jennifer share their experiences with adding very different programs to their business; one is a membership program, and the other is a CRM system.  Both Dempseys draw some of the same conclusions, with the number one factor being to get employee and customer buy-in!

Today’s Nuggets:

- Flexible is the new F word in business
- Entrepreneurs never turn their brains off
- To be successful, you must have buy-in from your team
- Sometimes, a significant change in behavior is needed
- The pace of change because of technology is accelerating all the time
- Embrace change as part of your business

Welcome to Season 4 of The Business of Business: Two Daughters & Their Dad where we talk about all things entrepreneurial.

Today’s topic is all about being valued in your business but not needed.  Sounds odd, doesn’t it?

First, The Dempsey talks a bit about Women’s History Month and Jen has a great nugget:  It’s our job to continue to open the door for other women to walk through!

Then, Jack is fired up about a recent conversation with a colleague when they tell Jack that their goal is to be valued in their business but not needed.  This concept is an important goal for any entrepreneur and one that we can achieve with systems and culture.

Today’s Nuggets:

• You are exchanging being needed with being valued
• Your culture promotes your values, vision, and goals
• Recognize teachable moments
• Young in your career is a mindset
• You have to trust that others can get it done
