Episode 33: Introverts and Business with Janice Chaka

“Introverts live in two worlds: We visit the world of people, but solitude and the inner world will always be our home.” ― Jenn Granneman, The Secret Lives of Introverts: Inside Our Hidden World
What is an introvert and how do they handle being in business? According to the American Management Association 
Extroverts: Talk first; think laterIntroverts: Think first; talk later
Extroverts: Seek out other peopleIntroverts: Prefer going solo
Extroverts: Tend to be “babbling brooks;” people often tune them outIntroverts: Don’t speak up too often; people tend to tune in when they do
Extroverts: Draw energy from other peopleIntroverts: Are energized by time spent alone
How does that figure in business? As a business owner, you need to be out there, telling your story, letting people know about what you do and why they need it. So, what does an introvert do? You can pick the parts of your story that you want the world to know. Find a persona that can become YOU when you are out and about. Let people see what you want them to see. This isn’t a lie, it’s only a chosen part of the whole.
Do you think you’re an introvert? Is this personality type of interest to you? Janice Chaka, today’s guest considers herself an introvert, AND a successful business owner. Want to know more? Listen here!

Episode 32: Keep It Simple with Craig Severinsen

Keep it simple and focus on what matters. Don't let yourself be overwhelmed.
- Confucius
When we start a business we want to tell everyone what we do and let them know that they need to buy our product or service. It is exciting and we bounce around shouting it from the rooftop. I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve been hit up from someone I’ve never heard of telling me that I REALLY need to buy what they are selling. They don’t know me, they don’t know what I buy or if anything they are saying will be of interest to me. 
You need to make sure that what you are doing in your marketing, is converting to sales, according to today’s guest, Craig Severinsen. He tells us that by being authentic, by sharing with people who you are, what you care about and building relationships, that’s what’s going to grow your business. 
It is more important to be true and find clients through authenticity rather than letting the world know you exist. Find the offer that makes sense to a few people and you’ll sell your product/service to more and that saves time, money and effort. Listen in and learn how keeping it simple builds a bigger return.

Episode 31: Know Your Client, Know Yourself with Barbra Portzline

“The only strategy that is guaranteed to fail is not taking risks.”
— Mark Zuckerberg, founder, Facebook
People are flocking to business ownership these days. It is THE thing to do when someone is dissatisfied, disgruntled and just wanting something to call their own. They may have done their homework, started off with a bang and then – nothing. The phone doesn’t ring, the website has no hits, there is silence. What do they do then? Give up? What was the true meaning of starting their business in the first place? Did it have meaning to those they wanted to sell to or was it something just for themselves. Something THEY wanted to do?
Mindset is one of several issues that is top of the list for people who are starting (and running) small businesses. If the mindset isn’t right, then the business won’t be either. In today’s conversation with Dr. Barbra Portzline, we talk about mindset and other pitfalls and challenges (as well as success and growth) in the business world. So, sit back, get out your pen and paper (or tablet), take notes and increase your opportunity for business success for yourself!

Episode 29: Coaching is the Click with Jason Rosado

"The successful networkers I know, the ones receiving tons of referrals and feeling truly happy about themselves, continually put the other person's needs ahead of their own." -- Bob Burg
Networking is an important part of running a business, but it is not a well understood method of growing relationships. It’s not just about getting coffee and having chats. It’s about bringing in money and building long-term connections between people.
Often, people go to networking events to hang out with friends, eat free food (and drinks) and get out of work early or just needing a break. Those are not really great reasons to get out there. But when you put a system in place like Jason Rosado and I talk about in this week’s show, then you can know full well that you will walk away with the knowledge that you have made someone else’s day valuable and that in the long run it will come back to you.

Episode 28: LinkedIn and the Best Ways to Use it for Your Business with Petra Fisher

“People want to do business with you because you help them get what they want. They don’t do business with you to help you get what you want.” – Don Crowther
In our conversation today with Petra Fisher, we talk about using LinkedIn as one way to reach out to business contacts and colleagues. First and foremost, we talk about creating the right profile. One that gives the viewer a reason to want to read further and see just what you are all about. And then we go deeper: diving into the depths of the program and various ways to get the relationships started that we are all (or should all) looking to build.

"All the money in the world can't buy you back good health." Reba McEntire
We all know that it’s important to be healthy in our lives and in our businesses. As Reba says above, we can have all the money we could ever wish for, our business can be a huge success, but if we are not healthy we can’t enjoy it or anything about our lives. Take if from me, I know. For quite a while I ignored what was going on with my body and now I have to push myself to get out of bed in the morning, let alone get out there and do the work of running my business.

Like we talk about often, it doesn’t take a whole new regimen to get started. One small step in the right direction can get us on our way. Here today, is Dr. Robyn to share with us some of those small steps that will lead to BIG results both physically, mentally and help keep us on the right track with our business as well.
