Do you have a great idea for a business, but you're not sure if it's innovative enough? Well, I'm here to tell you that you don't need to have the next big thing to be successful.

So, if you have a great idea for a business, don't let the fear of not being innovative hold you back. Just get started and see where it takes you.
In this podcast, we'll explore the different ways to start a business without having an innovative idea.

August 18, 2023 Ep #185 How to deal with negative social media reviews! ~ From The Humble Entrepneur.
In today's digital age, social media is one of the most important channels for businesses to connect with their customers. But with that power comes responsibility. Businesses need to be prepared to deal with negative reviews, both good and bad.
Negative reviews can be tough to swallow, but they can also be a valuable learning opportunity. When you receive a negative review, take the time to read it carefully and understand the customer's complaint. Then, respond in a professional and respectful way.
Here are a few tips for responding to negative reviews:
Acknowledge the customer's complaint.
Apologize for any inconvenience or
frustration the customer has experienced.
Explain what steps you're taking to
address the issue.
Offer to make things right, if
possible.
It's important to remember that negative reviews are not always fair or accurate. But even if you disagree with the customer's complaint, it's important to respond in a way that is respectful and helpful.
By responding to negative reviews in a thoughtful and timely manner, you can show your customers that you value their feedback and that you're committed to providing a positive experience.

August 04, 2023 Ep #183 RANT ~ Always have a back up! ~ From The Humble Entrepreneur.
As you know, life doesn't always go according to plan. Things happen that are out of our control, and sometimes our plans have to change.
That's why it's so important to have a backup plan.
A backup plan is a contingency plan that you have in place in case your
original plan doesn't work out. It could be anything from having a second job lined up in case you lose your current job to having a plan for how you'll get home if your car breaks down.
Having a backup plan can give you peace of mind knowing that you're prepared for whatever life throws your way. It can also help you to stay calm and focused when things go wrong.
In this episode, we'll talk about why it's important to have a backup plan, and if you have any questions about backup plans, please leave them in the comments below. We'll do our best to answer them.

Thanks for listening, and I'll see you next time.

July 28, 2023 Ep #182 Social media is not essential for a small business to be successful! ~ From The Humble Entrepreneur.
Social media has become an integral part of our lives, and it's easy to see
why businesses would want to be a part of it. After all, social media can be a great way to connect with customers, promote your products or services, and build brand awareness.
But the truth is, social media isn't necessary for every business. In fact,
there are some businesses that are better off without it.
Here are a few reasons why social media might not be right for your business:

Your target audience is not on social media. If your target audience is older adults, for example, they're less likely to be on social media than younger adults.
You don't have the time or resources to manage social media effectively. Social media can be a time-consuming and resource-intensive investment. If you don't have the time or resources to do it right, it's better to skip it altogether.
Your business model doesn't lend itself to social media. If your business is B2B, for example, you may not need social media to reach your customers.
If you're thinking about using social media for your business, it's important to weigh the pros and cons carefully. If you decide that social media isn't right for you, don't worry. There are plenty of other ways to reach your customers and build your brand. Before social media was invented people still managed to effectively market their businesses!
If you're interested in learning more about how to use social media effectively for your business, be sure to get in touch with me. And if you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment below.

downs, but it's also incredibly rewarding. If you're willing to put in the
work, you can achieve anything you set your mind to.

June 09, 2023 Ep #178 Five, common characteristics of bad customers! ~ From The Humble Entrepre-neur.
Today, we're going to be talking about the 5 common characteristics of bad
customers.
As a business owner or manager, you know that not all customers are created
equal. Some customers are a pleasure to work with, while others can be
downright difficult. In this episode, we'll discuss the 5 most common
characteristics of bad customers.
So, what can you do about bad customers? The best thing is to try to avoid
them in the first place. But if you do encounter a bad customer, it's important
to set boundaries and establish expectations. Let them know that their behavior
is unacceptable and that you won't tolerate it. If the behavior continues, you
may need to terminate the relationship.
Dealing with bad customers can be stressful and frustrating, but it's
important to remember that they're not the norm. Most customers are
understanding and appreciative of your business. By setting boundaries and
establishing expectations, you can minimize the impact of bad customers on your
business.
