We are thrilled to present an episode rich with insights for aspiring and current entrepreneurs, with tips from several local experts. Each guest brings a wealth of experience and valuable advice for those looking to start or grow their businesses in Ohio.We begin by discussing the significance of self-confidence and the myriad of questions that come with starting a business. Our first guest, Katie Ellis, the president and CEO of the Tri-Village Chamber Partnership, highlights the benefits of joining a Chamber of Commerce. Katie explains that chambers offer numerous opportunities for brand awareness, networking, and access to critical resources. They also provide member-exclusive benefits like health insurance and professional development programs. She encourages new entrepreneurs to explore different chambers and find the best fit, even suggesting attending events without committing to a membership initially.Katie also mentions SCORE, a nonprofit supported by the U.S. Small Business Administration that pairs entrepreneurs with mentors who offer personalized guidance. Additionally, she recommends ECDI, which offers business incubation programs and small business loans, and organizations like NAWBO and the Women's Small Business Accelerator for female entrepreneurs.Next, Carol introduces Frank Agin, president of AmSpirit Business Connections. Frank emphasizes the importance of networking in entrepreneurial success. He asserts that businesses thrive through relationships and provides three key networking tips. First, find a mentor who is well-connected and can offer guidance without necessarily charging for their services. Second, focus on building relationships with strategic partners who operate in the same circles but offer different products or services. For example, Frank, a former attorney, built relationships with bankers, accountants, and payroll professionals to generate referrals. Lastly, Frank advises getting involved in the community, as this increases exposure and positions one as a committed and valuable community member.Brett introduces Darlene Ziebell, a seasoned business adviser with over three decades of experience. Darlene provides crucial tips on developing a brand, particularly focusing on social media and marketing. She starts by stressing the importance of creating a compelling elevator message that conveys the unique value of a business. The final part of this message should emphasize the benefit customers receive by choosing your product or service over others.Darlene's second tip is to establish a differentiating message that sets your business apart from the competition. This message is vital before spending any money on marketing or branding, as it ensures that the investment will not be wasted. Watching television commercials and social media ads can provide insight into effective differentiating messages.Lastly, Carol introduces Ken Lazar, the chief career officer for the Ability Professional Network. Ken underscores the importance of identifying a niche for your business. When he and his son started their executive search agency, they focused on recruiting sales professionals. This focus helped them build a strong, recognizable brand and become a go-to agency for companies looking to build their sales teams. Ken advises against chasing "shiny objects" or ventures outside your niche, as this can waste time and resources and confuse your customer base.Ken also shares his experience with social media marketing. For his business, LinkedIn proved to be the most effective platform for reaching...

I have two women who completely inspired me at an event that I attended for the Women's Small Business Accelerator. The WSBA has a gala every fall, and Brady Ware & Company is a big supporter of that organization. Merry Korn and Sheryl Marrero told their story of how they came together. They started out together as mentor-mentee through a six-month program with the WSBA. As women business owners, we need to be inspired by other women business owners. So I really want them to tell a little bit about their journey together. And then we're going to talk about mentoring, being a mentor or a mentee. Merry is the owner of Pearl Interactive Network, Inc., and Sheryl is the President of SavKon Construction. We cover a lot of ground in this episode, including how and why Sheryl needed the mentor relationship that Merry had to offer to help her with her business debt. I was in a large deficit and so I was referred to the Mentor Match program through the WSBA. I ended up at the table with Merry. And although her business was totally different from mine, I instantly felt trust in her. And that was one of the things I had hoped for and prayed for, for a mentor who I could trust. Find out what made the difference in turning her business around, and more detail about Merry's Wellness Checkup Plan.

I speak with Farideh R. Bagne, Ph.D.,JD. She's one of the most brilliant, successful and hardworking people that I've ever met. She has an amazing story, with some great insight on resilience. And she's built this really cool bridge at Magnolia by the Lakes, the gold standard of senior living, a luxury Independent and Assisted Senior Village on the shores of Cass Lake, overlooking Sylvan Lakes in Oakland County Michigan. I think you're going to want to hear about the story about this for sure. As Dr. Bagne states... You know that thing when you look challenge in the eye and you don't blink and you even have a smile on your face. That's what we're going to talk about. So don't miss out. My advice to you again is, number one, belief in yourself and do not have a defeatist attitude. Always remember that race, national origin, gender had nothing to do with business, science, medicine or whatever endeavor you are planning to do. It is not what others think of you. It is what you think of yourself. And with that attitude, believe that you should have that axiom of your life that truly everything happens for the best. And at the moment that disaster happens. You don't know what the best is, but believe that somehow it will be and will become one of the best events of your life unless you follow these three acts and you'll really become successful throughout your life.   Coming up on July 30th is the 7th annual Brady Ware Women's Leadership Conference.  Each year, 100% of the proceeds go to support women initiatives through non profit organizations within Ohio. This year our supporting non profits are the Better Business Bureau and the Women's Small Business Accelerator. Many months ago when we began planning for this year's conference, we felt it best to err on the side of safety, so this year's conference will be held virtually. While this may not be the most ideal situation, it does allow for us to offer participants speakers that are nationally recognized as well as locally recognized women leaders.   We're excited to be able to present keynote speaker, Peggy Klaus, author of 'Brag! How to toot your own horn without blowing it'. We'll start the morning with a lively discussion with a panel of women business owners and leaders. And to add to the excitement of the day, you'll be able to network, visit exhibitor tables and win wonderful prizes throughout the day!   I would like to personally invite you to join us on July 30th.

We believe in the technology we produce. It’s one of the reasons we’re set up in a way that allows a large portion of our workforce to work from home productively. Many small businesses, which have been particularly hard hit by this pandemic, are not as fortunate. With the need for connectivity at an all-time high, we find ourselves in a unique position to help. In this episode, we spoke with Cristiano Amon, President, Qualcomm Incorporated and Jeff Monday, Vice President, Sales, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. about the new Qualcomm® Small Business Accelerator Program. Through this new initiative, we’ll supply traditional small businesses with equipment, software, and services to help them transition to a mobile-first and remote-friendly work environment. Cristiano and Jeff, along with host PJ Jacobowitz, discuss the program’s launch, some of the first partners on board, resources that will be available to program participants, and how the pandemic is amplifying the need for 5G.
