Small Business Owner Inspiration
Tip Tuesday | Don’t reinvent the wheel!!
I can’t tell you how many business owners I have met who are just overwhelmed with running their business. They feel that everything is on their shoulders and they have to do it all. I am not going to lie, running your own business is hard, but it doesn’t have to be as hard as a lot of people make it.
Tip Tuesday | Be Consistent!
This doesn’t mean you have to spend hours every day posting or creating content, it just means you need to be there regularly. Make sure you are postings at least twice a week on your social media, that you are publishing a blog at least twice a month, and that you are sending your email at least once a month. When you can hit these targets, you will be connecting with your customers and building trust.
