Build Out Your Idea – Learning To Trust The Process

Trust the process

Learning to trust the process!

Back in November, we presented a web broadcast on the Small Business Tips Show that addressed the issue of staying focused and learning to trust the process when developing your idea.

Too often, people become discouraged when building out their idea. They can become lost in the minutia, feel overwhelmed, and give up. Don’t let this happen to you!

We posted the web broadcast earlier, but, due to popular demand, are now providing the podcast so you can listen in at your leisure.

Join us and see how to avoid becoming discouraged and learn to trust the process.

Listen to our podcast now, or connect to our podcast.

How To Get More Clients – Part 2

how to get more customers

Last week, I shared a podcast with you discussing how to get more customers.

This podcast was excerpted from a web broadcast recorded with Frank Thomas of the Small Business Tips Show. When we were recording the web broadcast we found this to be a very rich topic, necessitating it to be broken into two programs.

I’ve shared the web broadcasts with you here earlier this fall, but have found that many of you sometimes don’t have the time to watch the broadcast, preferring to download a podcast and listen in while doing other things.

Listen to the discussion here, or if you prefer, you can listen or download the podcast.

Marketing Your Small Business – Going Deeper

Dive into advertising

How do you market your small business?

Last week, we shared a podcast with you that was recorded earlier this year with Frank Thomas of the Small Business Tips Show. Well, it ended up that that was one of the most popular podcasts on the small business tips show to date, so last month Frank and I decided to do a follow-up podcast, going deeper into the subject of marketing your small business, and diving into advertising.

In this episode, we begin to dissect the whole concept of marketing. We discuss and identify key components to marketing your small business. These include such things as:

  • What is marketing?
  • What is the difference between a marketing strategy and a marketing campaign?
  • How does advertising fit in?
  • How do I measure the results of my marketing efforts?

How To Market Your Small Business

how to market your business

What are you doing to market your small business?

Earlier this year, I was an invited guest on the Small Business Tips Show. The host of the show, Frank Thomas, brought me in to share my three decades of marketing experience with his listeners.

In the episode, we discussed some of the big – and costly – mistakes that small business owners often make when they’re trying to promote their business.

This episode addresses such key things as identifying your ideal client and what, exactly, marketing is. Contrary to popular belief, it is not advertising. Advertising is a component of the implementation of a marketing strategy.

This past September, I was invited to regularly co-host the Small Business Tips Show with Frank, and this past Tuesday I posted the first part of our first ever video presentation. I’m honored to be a permanent fixture now on the show, and invite you to visit my YouTube channel to see what other resources are available for you there.

Meanwhile, please enjoy this podcast and see if it helps you identify how you can better market your small business.

Regaining Your Focus

focus

Time to focus!

Well, the unofficial end of summer is upon us. Despite the fact that summer doesn’t officially end until September 23 this year, we all know that the Labor Day weekend heralds the end of summer and a return to “business as usual”. Many people have commented to me that they struggle a bit with regaining their focus at this time of year. I suppose that’s only natural after a couple of months of juggling holidays, barbecues, weekend trips, kids activities, etc. It can take a bit of time to find that balance again, now that life has settled into a more predictable routine.

With this in mind, I decided to use today’s article to address this issue of what happens when you lose your focus and how to get back on track. I’m including a link to a podcast that I recorded with Frank Thomas of the Small Business Tips Show back in mid-July.

Frank found that he was struggling a bit with focus at the beginning of July.  As he’s a friend and business colleague of mine, we naturally had a couple of discussions about trouble he was having. As we worked our way through some of the common obstacles, stumbling blocks and reasons why people lose their focus, we came to the obvious conclusion that many people struggle with the lack of focus from time to time. We decided that by having an open discussion about what happens when you lose focus, and discussing how to get back on track, we would not only help Frank regain his mojo, but could also potentially help many, many other people. The result is this podcast.

During this podcast, we discuss how you lose focus, as well as how to recognize the signs and symptoms of starting to lose your focus. We provide suggestions on how to identify and get beyond this lack of focus, and how to avoid losing focus in the future.

I hope you enjoy this podcast and that you find some of the tips and strategies helpful.

Until next time…
