Podcasts about Implementation

Full Shownotes: https://www.businessstraightup.com/080 Leadership isn't just a term for the billionaires and politicians in the world - I believe every single business owner is a leader in some way, because stepping outside of the norm in our culture of getting a job is, at its core, rebellious. We ARE leaders. And doing so means taking responsibility for our actions - or LACK of actions. How many courses have you purchased that you've never actually touched? Have you ever found yourself cursing the course and thinking about how crappy it was, instead of looking at your own lack of implementation? Y'all I am saying these things and feel like I'm looking into a mirror here - I am NOT immune to this. Stacy Tuschl is a bestselling author, podcast host and founder of the Foot Traffic Formula - helping small businesses around the world get more customers in the door, and this episode is FILLED with tidbits on leadership, implementation, and actually putting into place the systems that your business needs.

Today, Jordan Silverman, Vice President of Customer Success at MarketMan, joins the show today for a discussion on customer success onboarding, and how to handle unresponsive customers during onboarding.If you want to join the discussion with thousands of other customer success leaders, join Gain Grow Retain: http://gaingrowretain.com/Connect with Jordan Silverman on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jordansilverman/This podcast is brought to you by Jay Nathan and Jeff Breunsbach...Jay Nathan: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jaynathan/Jeff Breunsbach: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffreybreunsbach

The event sponsored by VMSD magazine and STMedia Group – now owned by SmartWork Media – wasn't your typical tradeshow. They tried booths by vendors early on and then abandoned them for a fully educational event. Retail industry leaders and some of the best retailers and visual merchandisers have since gathered every year – but for 2020 due to the COVID pandemic – to talk all things retail. There were always great presentations about projects that pushed the boundaries of retail design, awards galas, the requisite cocktails and spontaneous conversation in the hallways where ideas flowed naturally.As a member of the VMSD Editorial Advisory Board, I have attended all but 2. And over the past 20+ years I recall a few speakers that simply captivated the audience. Christian Davies was a ‘standing room only' presenter that drew crowds to hear insightful, thought provoking and slightly cheeky commentary that he seemed to get away with – perhaps because his English accent gave him some slack – but mostly because he was on target and freakishly smart.Christian didn't hold back. He went to the heart of the matter.Sometimes critical, sometimes satirical and often emotional. Too this day frequent attendees will recall a session he presented on Compassionate Capitalism where he and the audience shared a tear over the profoundly moving actions of some global retailers who stepped beyond the bottom line and reached out in support of people in need.I was always one of the ‘standers' – not because I needed an easy way out if the presentation was not meeting my expectations but because people had rushed the room to be creatively inspired and challenged in their thinking.I have worked with and competed against Christian for design gigs with national and international retailers but mostly studied him as a retail design, brand experience place-making leader who has had a career working on both sides of the line – as a design consultant and big brand retailer. Honestly, I have been at times envious but mostly admiring of him.Christian is a visionary creative leader with over 30 years working in the retail and experiential industry across the globe. He is Skilled in Strategy, Innovation, Design and Implementation.He gets it done.He has amassed over a 100 international design awards working for everything from disruptive startups to the very top of the Fortune 500. And… he continues to be a keynote and session speaker at every major retail conference in the US. Christian is now the Design Practice Lead for Bergmeyer – a Boston based design firm.A recent favorite topic for his speaking sessions these days? “Navigating the future in this time of seismic change.”Love it…Right up my alley…. ABOUT DAVID KEPRON:LinkedIn Profile: linkedin.com/in/david-kepron-9a1582bWebsites: https://www.davidkepron.com    (personal website)vmsd.com/taxonomy/term/8645  (Blog)Email: david.kepron@NXTLVLexperiencedesign.comTwitter: DavidKepronPersonal Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidkepron/NXTLVL Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nxtlvl_experience_design/Bio:David Kepron is a multifaceted creative professional with a deep curiosity to understand ‘why', ‘what's now' and ‘what's next'.

Happy New Year!  Welcome to 2022! After a long hiatus of podcasting, I'm at it again.  January is my favorite month of the year.  I simply LOVE New Year's, and every year make a major plan with goals, accountability charts, and even a PowerPoint presentation for motivation! In this episode, we explore how to implement a change in a way that will last.  Vision + Skills + Incentives + Resources + Action Plan = Sustainable Change You can download the diagram here.      

Productivity makes Stacy Tuschl tick. In addition to being a Small Business Growth Coach, Stacy is a bestselling author, and founder of the Foot Traffic Formula - helping small businesses around the world get more customers in the door, more profit in their pocket and more happiness in their homes. Stacy's started a bunch of prosperous ventures – including turning a company she started in her parents' backyard at the age of 18 into a multi-million dollar enterprise that she still runs today. As I went through her new book, I found myself "dog-earing" it relentlessly. The book is titled The Implementation Code: Unlocking The Secret To Getting It All Done and when I was able to secure another conversation with Stacy – she's been on he podcast before as you'll see in the show notes – I knew we'd have plenty to discuss. Stacy and I talk about the things people don't want to do but that we all need to do. Then we discuss the importance of maintenance, as illustrated in these words from Stacy: "Without maintenance things have a way of reverting to the previous state." (And she explains what maintenance isn't about during our discussion as well.) As I went through Stacy's book, I took notice of how vulnerable she was willing to be in her writing. That comes across in the words she's written and the words she shares in this episode. I hope you enjoy this conversation... and take away some things that you can implement today.

In this podcast episode, our guest is Troy Fugate, a pharma industry and GMP veteran with 30+ years of experience in the field. Now, he is the Vice President at Compliance Insight, Inc. They help businesses overseen by the FDA navigate the regulatory process, achieve compliance, and develop best practices for manufacturing innovative drugs, medical devices, and biologics. Troy believes that the single most challenging issue leaders face is incorporating GMPs into their company culture. The leaders don't know how to blend GMPs into their mission and vision with the right passion. Only then can employees see the whole vision and understand the "Why". Not just to do things because "it's required by the GMPs" but to see the value in those actions. Listening to the podcast or watching the clip, you will learn: How to establish a unified quality mission across a pharma organization Why some people see GxP as a hurdle, and how to change that Why using KPIs wrong can cost you your best employees How to Deliver Effective and Measurable GMP training ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Watch or read the full podcast and read the article at https://podcast.qualistery.com/infusing-gxps-into-your-organizations-dna ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This episode is Sponsored by Dot Compliance, the industry's first ready-to-use Quality Management Solution powered by the SalesForce platform.

Sight takes precedence over TRUTH2. Feelings takes precedence over FAITH3. Pleasure takes precedence over PURPOSE4. Complacency takes precedence over SPIRITUAL GROWTH5. Information takes precedence over IMPLEMENTATIONFour thoughts in summary of Renewing the Mind1. Recognize the dangers and the negative impact of our fallen culture - the World affects everyone, so we must LIMIT our contact to the World.2. Saturate our minds with the Word of God3. Dogmatically accept the absolute authority of the Word of God - God's Word is absolute Truth.4. Be doers of the Word and not hearers only!2Corinthians 4:1-18 Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; 2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. 3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. 5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake. 6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.2Corinthians 4:8 We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; 10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 11 For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh. 12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you. 13 We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak; 14 Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you. 15 For all things are for your sakes, that the abundant grace might through the thanksgiving of many redound to the glory of God. 16 For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. 17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; 18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.— — —Watch/Listen here using our Subsplash WebShare Playerhttps://subspla.sh/cjw6trbListen here on Archive.orghttps://archive.org/download/122921-wed-facebook-stream/122921Wed-FacebookStream.mp3

Unless otherwise noted, all Web addresses mentioned were functional as of 12-17-21.TRANSCRIPT OF AUDIO From the Cumberland Gap to the Atlantic Ocean, this is Virginia Water Radio for the week of December 20, 2021. MUSIC – ~14 sec - - Lyrics: “When the rains come, when the rains come, is it gonna be a new day?” That's part of “Rains Come,” by the Harrisonburg and Rockingham County, Va.-based band The Steel Wheels, from their 2019 album “Over the Trees.”  It opens an update of a previous episode on the Virginia Coastal Resilience Master Plan—an effort to prepare for and adapt to sea-level rise, recurrent flooding, and impacts of climate change.  As in the earlier episode, we set the stage with part of “Cypress Canoe,” by Bob Gramann of Fredericksburg, Va., from his 2019 album “I Made It Just for You.”  The song's a commentary on the current and potential impacts of sea-level rise, and in the part you'll hear, the story-teller bemoans a lack of planning and action to avoid or reduce such impacts. Have a listen for about 20 seconds. MUSIC – ~18 sec – Lyrics: “Half of a city awash in the tides; when I think of what happened, it tears my insides. Oh, we could've been smarter, we could've have planned, but the world caught a fever, infected by man.” Facing current and predicted impacts to coastal areas from sea-level rise and recurrent flooding, Virginia has started planning.   On December 7, 2021, Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam announced completion of Phase One of the Coastal Resilience Master Plan.  Work on the plan started about four years ago accelerated after the November 2020 release of a planning framework identifying guiding principles and specific steps to complete the plan.  Since then, a technical study, the work of a technical advisory committee, and input from some 2000 stakeholders have helped form the plan. The 266-page plan covers the area of Virginia from the Fall Line to the Atlantic coastline, which includes about six million residents.  For those areas, the plan identifies vulnerabilities to, and impacts from, current and expected sea-level rise and increased flooding.  It focuses on ways the Commonwealth can increase resilience, which the plan defines as “the capability to anticipate, prepare for, respond to, and recover from hazards to minimize damage to social well-being, health, the economy, and the environment.”  A Coastal Resilience Database compiled for the plan includes over 500 examples of projects to adapt to changing conditions and of initiatives to build capacity in information, skills, and tools.  Funding for such efforts may come from various sources, but one key source is the Virginia Community Flood Preparedness Fund, created by the Virginia General Assembly in 2020 and using money accrued from the auction of carbon allowances. Implementation of the plan will be managed by the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation in cooperation with the Commonwealth's Chief Resilience Officer and the Special Assistant to the Governor for Coastal Adaptation and Protection.  Phase Two of the plan, with more data and project information, is to be completed by 2024, and updates to the whole plan are supposed to occur every five years. According to the plan's impact assessment, between now and 2080 Virginia is projected to face large increases in residents exposed to coastal flooding, in flood property damage, in roadway miles exposed to chronic flooding, and in losses of tidal wetlands, dunes, and beaches.  As Gov. Northam stated in a December 7 letter accompanying the plan's release, the plan provides a “clearer picture of the scope and scale” of these challenges, catalogs current resilience efforts, and identifies gaps in actions and in information.  Here's hoping Virginia puts its Coastal Resilience Master Plan to good use.

EXTRA INFORMATION ABOUT THE VIRGINIA COASTAL RESILIENCE MASTER PLAN, PHASE I Following is an excerpt from the December 7, 2021, news release from Virginia Governor Ralph Northam's office, Governor Northam Releases Virginia's First Coastal Resilience Master Plan; Virginia takes monumental action to build a resilient coast, combating climate change and rising sea levels. “HAMPTON—Governor Ralph Northam today released the Virginia Coastal Resilience Master Plan, providing a foundational and fundamental step towards protecting Virginia's coast. “Virginia's coastal areas face significant impacts from rising sea levels and increased storm flooding.  The Commonwealth, regional and local entities have to take meaningful and continuous action to ensure the long-term sustainability of Virginia's coastal resources and communities. … “Earlier this year, the Commonwealth worked with 2,000 stakeholders to build the Coastal Resilience Master Plan.  This plan documents which land is exposed to coastal flooding hazards now and into the future, as well as the impacts of those future scenarios on coastal Virginia's community resources and manmade and natural infrastructure. “The Master Plan concluded that between 2020 and 2080: the number of residents living in homes exposed to extreme coastal flooding is projected to grow from approximately 360,000 to 943,000, an increase of 160%; the number of residential, public, and commercial buildings exposed to an extreme coastal flood is projected to increase by almost 150%, from 140,000 to 340,000, while annualized flood damages increase by 1,300% from $0.4 to $5.1 billion; the number of miles of roadways exposed to chronic coastal flooding is projected to increase from 1,000 to nearly 3,800 miles, an increase of nearly 280%; and an estimated 170,000 acres, or 89%, of existing tidal wetlands and 3,800 acres, or 38%, of existing dunes and beaches may be permanently inundated, effectively lost to open water. “The Coastal Resiliency Database and Web Explorer is a publicly available database that shows the impact of coastal flood hazards, current and proposed resilience projects, as well as funding sources.  This database will serve as a vital tool to support resilience efforts at the state, regional, and local levels. … “The Commonwealth intends to develop successive updates of the Master Plan on at least a five-year cycle, managed by the Department of Conservation and Recreation in consultation with the Chief Resilience Officer, the Special Assistant to the Governor for Coastal Adaptation and Protection, and the Technical Advisory Committee. “The next phase of the Master Plan is anticipated by 2024, will aim to address recommendations of the TAC to broaden the analysis of natural hazards by including rainfall-driven, riverine, and compound flooding, expand and improve the inventory of resilience projects, by continuing to add efforts and working with project owners to better understand the benefits of projects, and extend this critical work beyond the coastal region to encompass statewide resilience needs. …” SOURCESUsed for AudioVirginia Governor's Office News Release, Governor Northam Releases Virginia's First Coastal Resilience Master Plan; Virginia takes monumental action to build a resilient coast, combating climate change and rising sea levels, December 7, 2021.

This week we talk about: Zoho ManageEngine Under Attack Again 12/3/21 Zoho Books December 2021 Updates Zoho Backstage Exhibitor Management Now Live Our Reads, Implementation, and Tip of the Week Our App of the Week - Paperflite for Zoho CRM

The Endangered Species Act (ESA) hasn't worked as intended, with only about three percent of listed species being removed from the list due to recovery. A significant part of the problem is how the law has been implemented by the government. The Trump Administration finalized regulations to improve ESA implementation. Unfortunately, the Biden Administration is […]

Last month, President Joe Biden signed an executive order establishing the Infrastructure Implementation Task Force, which moves closer to the federal government implementing the very clear mission of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. But the order also has a section noting the importance of  “implementation of infrastructure investments across all levels of government,” which perhaps can address a significant intergovernmental challenge. G. Edward DeSeve is a Fellow of the National Academy of Public Administration, the Coordinator of the Academy's Agile Government Center and a Visiting Fellow of the IBM Center for the Business of Government. He's also the former Special Advisor to President Obama for Recovery Implementation and the author of a post on our site headlined “We All Should Be Rooting for the Infrastructure Implementation Task Force.” He joined the podcast to discuss the post and the implementation of the infrastructure plan.

On today's episode, I'm sharing with you just how to handle the 3 most common client issues that happen in your business and how you can enforce policies effectively with less worry about being the “bad guy”. Those 3 issues are  Last Minute Cancellations due to emergency or unforeseen circumstances Fill when it really should be a full set “just do what you can” situation Refund requests And I'll share with you the policy you should have in place that addresses each issue, how to implement this policy and what the perk is to having a policy that addresses each issue. If you're interested in seeing an example of the policies I had in my lash business - you can download them at www.thelashpreneur.com/policies  And a quickie disclaimer - policies, client waivers, release of liability are all legal contracts and I advise you have any of those documents reviewed by a locally licensed attorney for enforceability and legality in your state/province. Nothing in this episode is to be construed as legal advice and is for education and entertainment purposes only.   TEACHING POINTS:  Last Minute Cancellations due to emergency or unforeseen circumstances Policy Solution - Sickness and Family Emergency cancellation policy This policy states: If you or another person in your household has an infectious or contagious illness, please contact us as soon as possible to reschedule your appointment for a later date. For your safety and that of the staff and other clients, please do not come to your appointment sick. If it is assumed you are currently sick, your appointment may be cut short or cancelled and rescheduled for when you are healthy again. A one time allowance of last minute cancellation or reschedule will be permitted for sickness or family emergency. After that, the cancellation and no show policy will be in effect. Implementation of this policy: The key to this being a long term solution to any last minute client cancellations is to have the conversation of: I totally understand XYZ came up - I want you to go take care of yourself and not worry about your appointment. This is exactly why I have the Sickness and Family Emergency policy where we offer a one time exception to our cancellation policy. Please be aware that this is the one and only allowance to our cancellation policy we can offer you and any future last minute cancellations will be charged NO MATTER WHAT. That “no matter what” is KEY in YOU communicating to the client that no matter the situation moving forward - whether they were hospitalized, severely ill, or forgot to cancel cause they were hungover - your cancellation policy WILL apply. You have proof in your text or email exchange with this client now that you made it clear in no uncertain terms that they would be charged for any future last minute cancellations NO MATTER WHAT.  Perks of this policy:  You don't have to be the bad guy when someone doesn't show up to their appt because of a legitimate cause cause you've already set the expectation that you've extended the olive branch of human decency and understanding that ish comes up AND you also have a business to run where cancellations are detrimental to the stability of the business. This eliminates the need for you extra controlling and vindictive lashpreneurs out there who go stalking clients social media pages and find out the real reason they didn't show up to their appointment. It doesn't matter if a client chooses to lie about their “emergency” or not - your business has a plan in place regardless of a legitimate excuse or not. You have written proof of a signed copy of your policies agreeing to this policy and a screenshot of the exchange with a client about the use of this policy to share with any sort of banking disputes that the client was made aware and agreed to your policies and the charge for the no show. Doesn't always guarantee a bank will side with you - but you've done your part. COVID EXCEPTION - during covid and shutdowns and strick regulations and contact tracing - we all need to be flexible and use our best judgement even if, at times, doing so goes directly against our policies. Unique situations call for unique solutions - so use your judgement and make a call that is most aligned with what feels right to you with any covid-related cancellations. Fill when it really should be a full set “just do what you can” situation Policy Solution: Fill Policy - Minimum # of extensions remaining per eye to be considered a fill This policy states: We recommend our clients to come back every 2-3 weeks for their fill appointments to ensure your natural lashes remain healthy and your extensions stay looking full. We also educate our clients on proper aftercare of extensions to ensure each client gets the maximum retention out of their lash extensions. We do require 30 extensions remaining per eye to be eligible for our fill appointments. If a client has less than 30 extensions per eye, the fill appointment will be adjusted to a full set service at the current full set price if time allows or the appointment will be rescheduled to a future agreed upon time for when a full set appointment is available. Implementation of this policy: First is the education of this policy before a client ever receives the service. You could include in your policy that you recommend following the aftercare steps provided to you at the end of your service as well as prebooking out your future appointments as a best practice to minimize the possibility of this scenario occurring. Next - educate on the importance of following aftercare and how the aftercare you recommend helps them to maximize their retention and minimize needing a new full set in the future. Lastly - when in doubt - count it out sis. If you're not sure if a client has enough extensions left  you can say “Ooo Susan - what happened? Your retention seems to have gone down a lot since your previous appointments.” and then let the client try to explain what happened. One of two things usually happens - either the lashes started falling out soon after her last appointment which is usually an issue you can troubleshoot based on your application and reviewing your notes from her last appointment that my have contributed to poor retention OR she noticed after a week or so that her lashes started falling out more which would usually be due to a seasonal shed or improper aftercare. Either way - that's a whole other episode on retention that I'll save for another day - your handling of this event is what we're focusing on today. You would then count the extensions. If she meets or exceeds the minimum # of extensions - then let her know and educate her on aftercare again so she doesn't risk being this close to needing a full set again and possibly recommending your retail items that help with retention like a cleanser. Possibly advise her on coming back in sooner than usual to her next appointment as well so she doesn't risk needing a full set and/or reminding her of your client satisfaction policy which I'll share about in a minute if she notices her lashes aren't lasting very well within the 72 hours of her last appointment so you can fix it before she needs to get a full set.  If she doesn't meet the minimum # of extensions - you could do one of two things. Give her a warning that you'll make a one time exception for today and just “do what you can” but next time it will be a full set OR say “unfortunately you don't have enough extensions remaining to be considered a fill and you need a full set. I'm going to change your appointment to a full set today OR I need to cancel today and reschedule your full set when I have an appropriate amount of time to complete the set. I recommend giving them a one time warning cause most clients aren't going to be all too excited about unexpectedly paying for a full set and staying for a longer appointment without a fair warning. But I leave it up to you if you want to offer a warning first before enforcing this policy or not. Perks of this policy: You stop feeling like you have to give away your time for free or provide less than stellar results for a client because you're rushing to get as many extensions on cause she was basically bald coming in.  This also creates the opportunity for you to educate a client on proper aftercare and often times leads to them purchasing a lash cleanser because the alternative of not purchasing your $20 cleanser is risking paying for another $150-$200 full set.  You eliminate the confrontation and confusion of having a percentage of extensions remaining which is typically where this policy goes way wrong. You can't honestly tell me you know the difference between 48% extensions remaining and 53% extensions remaining - yet you are charging a client very different prices based on your made up assumption of a clients retention. This is highly unfair to a client which is why they challenge your assessment of their lashes and most of you cave to “just doing what you can” with the time they booked or extending their service time to get them back to full but without charging for that extra time. A client can justifiably argue with you about percentage remaining all day long. A client cannot argue with a finite number when you physically count each extension remaining. So you eliminate the debate on fill or full set. Refund requests Policy Solution: Refund + Client Satisfaction policy The no refund policy would state something like: You are paying for artist time, product and other expenses used to provide you with a service. No refunds will be given for any reasons on services or product. If you are unhappy with a service or result, you may contact us within 72 hours of your appointment to discuss your concerns and if a fix can be done to address your concerns, it will be done so with a complimentary 30 minutes express fill. Any concerns brought up after 72 hours of your last appointment or if you failed to follow the proper aftercare instructions a recommended fix will be offered but at full price of the service recommended. Implementation of this policy:  This policy is great to remind every client of at the end of every appointment so you are WELCOMING them to communicate openly with you. You could say something like “My goal is to ensure you are over the moon with your results/lashes. If you get home and for any reason you're not in love with the results - please let me know within 72 hours of today and give me the opportunity to see what I can do to address your concerns.”  The key to success with this policy is to be VERY clear about this prior to any service being delivered. If you are not going over every policy in person during your consultation with a new client - then you risk a client asking for a refund AND being super pissed about it if you don't give her a refund. Knowledge of there being no refunds is how you avoid refund requests. Perks of this policy Most refund requests are due to a client being unhappy with the result and not feeling as if the experience or result was worth the money invested. There are times when this 100% warranted on behalf of the client especially if you struggle with retention. If a client's lashes don't last more than a few days - then I think all of us would want our money back for a service that didn't deliver the desired results. And I encourage my society members to take ownership and responsibility for the results they get in their businesses - which means that if you struggle with application or your application method or adhesive doesn't last more than a few days - then own it that the client's undesired results were due to your application. Most issues with an unhappy lash client within 2-3 days of their appointment is due to improper application no matter how bomb you think you are. Most of the time - it's lashes falling out way too soon because the lash artist can't get the adhesive to last. Your client shouldn't have to suffer through your learning curve unnecessarily. HOWEVER - does that mean that you give back hard earned  money? Not necessarily - hence why I like the client satisfaction part of this policy. We've already made it clear that no refunds are available ever - BUT we want to ensure happy clients. And what we can offer a client when there's an issue that is likely caused by adhesive struggles, retention issues, maybe the client didn't like the styling or the length or how sparse the lashes are - is a 30 minute free fix appointment where you spend 30 minutes just working on fixing the issues - whether it's applying more lashes where the previous ones didn't last, going longer or shorter as much as you can in the time provided, adding in more extensions if they were too sparse, etc. This 30  minute fix will make a good bit of difference to a client's unhappy results/experience. If they choose not to take you up on this - then that's on them and no refunds, so no solution.   Episode Highlights: [3:39] - The policy solution for last minute cancellations [12:50] - Recommended content of an effective Fill Policy and how to implement it [26:51] - How to implement a No Refund Policy [28:49] - How a Client Satisfaction Policy will help your business and keep your clients happy   If you're interested in seeing an example of the policies I had in my lash business - you can download them at www.thelashpreneur.com/policies Happy business building!

We live in the digital age where the Internet is widely available to almost everyone. This also means that access to pornographic websites has been very easy. Most children nowadays have their own gadgets and as early as the age of three, they have the knowledge of using the internet which is filled with dangerous websites which can be a bad influence and can have a negative impact on their values formation, mental health, and well-being. There is no pre-written script or ideal time to begin a healthy conversation about porn with your children. But because children are naturally curious, parents must constantly be prepared to talk about this matter and answer questions that they might be thinking of. Starting the conversation in a light-hearted but healthy manner can have a significant impact on their behavior and mindset, not only about pornography but about a variety of other troubling issues which they may be exposed to. In this episode, we are joined by Marylin Evans, a public speaker and founder of Parents Aware, a website where she offers one-on-one coaching to help parents prepare for the potential monsters they will inevitably encounter in their children's virtual lives. Through her own Media Savvy Mom's Podcast, she assists parents in planning and preparing to speak to their children about pornography and healthy sexuality in a straightforward, open, honest, and compassionate manner.  Marylin brings us along as she describes how her mother's role as an anti-porn activist in Canada made her receptive to the topic about porn as early as her teenage years, and how this affected her ability to start the healthy talk about pornography and sexuality with her children as a parent.  We must protect our children at all costs.

Ryan Stewart is a digital marketing genius and a serial entrepreneur. He is a well-known and established marketing expert with a penchant for scaling online businesses. He has developed processes to escalate business growth and allow owners to step back after realizing the company's potential. Ryan has more than ten years of experience in this industry and has done a lot during this short period of time. He is the founder of The Blueprint Training, an online platform that actively helps over 3,000 industries scale. He is also the founder of Capture & Convert WordPress plugin, and the owner of a successful YouTube channel with more than 1 million organic views. Currently, he is a mentor and teacher and helps businesses scale effectively with the help of the programs he developed for his previous venture WEBRIS. That company scaled to $1.1 million ARR in just 16 months. Ryan now helps other companies follow the same path.Wisdom NuggetsThe marketing potential of authoring a book: The money you make on sales of a book isn't very much usually. However, writing a book can be a huge marketing opportunity. When someone authors a book, it gives them a sense of credibility and trust as being experts in their field and places them in a position of authority. The true return on investment (ROI)The difference between being a business owner and a hustler: It takes a while to truly become a business owner. For Ryan, it was a 15-year journey. Everyone starts off as a hustler that is creating opportunities and grinding daily. The true freedom in entrepreneurship comes when you become a business owner and you have a set of customers that are loyal to you and a company where your direct inputs are not needed for running the everyday operations.Leveraging the power of SEO: Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the key to success for every business. SEO is what enables you to be easily discoverable online and for people to connect with you. Google now provides guidelines and design formats for how to build your website and establish authority and credibility. When you understand your customers and how they search the web, you can then design content in ways to match their search and make you more discoverable.Information vs Implementation: Information in today's world is a free resource. You can literally find anything you want to know and learn on google. The fact is that most people don't do anything with the information they are provided. Content marketing is powerful because it creates avenues to implement for clients the information and knowledge you provide them. Implementation over information.Podcast Outline[01:15] What's going on everyone [02:00] The SEO Blueprint Handbook[04:11] The marketing ROI of authoring a book[06:59] SEO - Search Engine Optimization[10:24] The process of Value-Driven Content plan[12:57] Ryan sharing his secret sauce to SEO and marketing [16:29] Learning to nurture people with content[17:32] Hey (break)[18:25] How to make your website rank better[19:20] Google recommended webpage designs[22:42] Understanding the intent of content searches[24:23] Building authority through SEO and content[26:40] Understanding consumer behavior when creating content[27:17] The difference between SEO and paid ads[28:54] Solving the pain points of your customers[31:38] Creating and leveraging sales funnelsPower Quotes‘'Information is free.
