Podcasts about small business community

Hello and welcome to the Daily Toon, and today I'm going to be telling you the story of why I bought a bookshop. Kate Toon explains why, at 50, she bought a bookshop after achieving financial security through digital products. Despite caution from advisors, she proceeded for personal joy and community engagement. Kate faced challenges but found fulfillment in running the shop, cherishing the sense of community and creativity it brings.

Today we're talking about money. What to do when you've got no money, what to do when you have a cash shortfall, and what to do when tax time comes and you don't have money to pay him. Kate emphasized the importance of effective financial management for small business owners and e-commerce entrepreneurs, suggesting the use of a bucket or envelope system for allocating funds. She shared her personal experience of transitioning from financial hardship to relative comfort and advised that running a business requires financial discipline and sometimes sacrifices.

On today's episode of the Daily Toon I want to address a simple question: Is it worth entering business awards? Kate discussed the importance of evaluating the credibility and cost of entering business awards, emphasizing that not all awards are equal in terms of impact. She also highlighted the expenses involved in attending awards and suggested that entering awards should be considered part of a marketing budget. Lastly, Kate noted that while winning awards can boost brand awareness and authority, it may not directly impact a business's bottom line.

She shared her own experiences of learning from others and filling gaps in her knowledge, and encouraged others to do the same. Kate also addressed the fear of not knowing the answer to every question, suggesting that it's okay to say "I don't know" and then find the answer.

In this episode Kate Toon talks about recognizing success in one's entrepreneurial journey.

Tami Parker had a long career in corporate HR, but 7 years ago, with a leap of faith and a supportive husband, she founded UNIcycle Business Consulting.  As with most of us, her early years were spent staying alive financially and doing a little bit of this and a little bit of that, but her growing firm has found its sweet spot as an off-site HR department for our region's small business enterprises.  It's often expensive for small businesses to have an HR expert on the team, so the office manager or the owner or the bookkeeper do the best they can - which can sometimes also be expensive!  Tami and her team help their clients do everything HR, from creating employee handbooks and onboarding processes, to placing ads and vetting candidates from Indeed and other platforms, all on a contract basis based on team size!  At present time, our employee handbook at LoCo Think Tank is a 3-page Google document - which is about 3 pages more robust than it was a year ago!  As one of those small business owners who tries to do his best - but knows he's got some gaps - this was a fun conversation ranging from the basics of a sound onboarding process to open discussion around recent DEI controversies to the biggest pitfalls that employers MUST avoid. Tami was recommended to the show by a couple of my favorite members - her clients - and I'm excited to share my conversation with Tami Parker, Founder and CEO of UNIcycle Business Consulting.  Episode Sponsor: InMotion, providing next-day delivery for local businesses.

Something has happened in the small business community. It feels almost like a changing of seasons. During Covid, many of us became entrepreneurs for the first time. But it wasn't easy because we were trapped in our homes with our big ideas, and there was nothing to do about those ideas. And we were forced to get clear on the "Why" of what we were attempting to do to keep us motivated.The Era of Why carried us for a while, but now we are being pushed toward a new era. I feel a shift coming that is moving us all in a different direction. No longer are we being motivated by meaning and purpose, because those don't pay the bills! It's now about how am I going to manage the people working for me, how am I going to start making some real money, how do I build better relationships, etc? What's your "How" and what are you going to do about it?Also on this episode:Branding / Business Strategy - What came first, the business or the brand? According to Nydia Mauras-Jones, Founding Partner and Director of Strategy for Odvant Creative, your brand is the basic framework for your small business.

Pre-Loved Podcast is a weekly vintage fashion interview show, with guests you'll want to go thrifting with! For more Pre-Loved Podcast, subscribe to our Patreon! Today's episode is with Rosie Carroll, founder for Nifty – a consignment clothing store and flea market in Christchurch, New Zealand. Rosie first started Nifty in 2018 when she was looking for a place to sell curated pre-loved clothing. It was a time when fast fashion giants were popping up around the city, and she wanted to sell pre-loved clothing in an effort to combat the fast fashion culture that was gaining popularity around her. The flea market has been hosting second hand clothing sellers and local makers ever since. After four years of running the markets regularly, and bouncing around different venues in the city, she felt it was time to leave her full-time office job to open a brick and mortar space.  Last October she leased a space, convinced the owner of the building to paint it bubblegum pink, and is now proud to call the big pink building a destination for vintage clothing lovers, running a consignment clothing store as well as the flea markets out of the big pink building. And we get to hear the whole story on today's show,  so let's just dive right in! DISCUSSED IN THE EPISODE: [3:20] Growing up in New Zealand, Rosie would get to go to her local op shops to pick out an outfit when she had a mufti day at school. [5:43] How the small business community was impacted, and rebounded, from the Christchurch earthquake. [8:46] Rosie started hosting her own flea markets back in 2018, after identifying a need she could fill in the local community.   [20:48] Tips for sellers who are doing their first market this summer. [23:18] Getting clear about wanting to open her own permanent venue and store. [27:14] The transition into having a full-time permanent store.  [30:03] How to make good decisions on what to consign.  [36:24] Her love of 90s style and vintage Levi's.

In spite of inflation, consumers are traveling and that's good for business in Central Florida. What's the outlook for the rest of this year, and how are small businesses doing as we recover from the pandemic? In this episode, Orlando Business Journal Editor Cindy Barth invites Fountainhead Commercial Capital Founder & CEO Chris Hurn to offer insight and perspective from the front lines of the small business community.

This week on the Denton Insider, hear from our 2022 Small Business Community Investment Award winner, Aspiro Agency. Jessica Frankson and Courtney Stucky will talk about their small business and what small business means to them.

Visa is bringing the She's Next Grant Programme back to Ireland, to support women entrepreneurs to run, fund and grow their businesses. Due to the success of the inaugural programme last year, and the continued need to support women business owners, Visa is also doubling the funding for the She's Next Grant Programme. Women-led businesses are invited to apply for one of five grants, totalling €50,000, and accompanied by one year of coaching provided by IFundWomen, the go-to funding marketplace for women-owned businesses. Visa renews She's Next Grant Programme Applications are now open until 16 August 2022 at IFundWomen.com/VisaIreland. Confidence Highlighted as Key Barrier to Female Entrepreneurs In Ireland, for every woman that is an early-stage entrepreneur, there is nearly double the number of men. This is well above the average across the OECD. Confidence continues to be a barrier to achieving parity, with only 38% of Irish women perceiving they have the necessary skills to start a business compared to 58% of men. For those that have started their own venture, this disparity in confidence remains, with 43% of women business owners, surveyed by Visa, stating they were very confident in evolving their business compared to 65% of men. The lingering impact of the pandemic is also being felt and businesses run by women are again disproportionately affected, with over half (58%) saying 2021 had been a challenge and their business is still recovering, compared to 33% of men. Mandy Lamb, Managing Director UK & Ireland, Visa said: “Women who own and manage businesses face a unique set of challenges including access to capital and peer networks. That's why we're excited to help make a difference to women business owners across Ireland today through the second She's Next Grant Programme. Our research also shows women are less confident than men in growing their business which is why we're particularly proud to offer access to coaching and support through IFundWomen as well as that injection of €10,000 in the capital.” Small Business Community get Behind She's Next Grant Programme Last year's winners are among the women entrepreneurs getting behind the campaign, with most emphasising the importance of the coaching provided. As Aine McGurk, founder of children's clothing brand, Dainty Bear said “the coaching has been invaluable in raising her confidence.” Ailbhe and Izzy Keane, founder of Izzy Wheels, the innovative and eye-catching wheelchair covers business, are encouraging women to apply for the She's Next programme. Ailbhe Keane said, “We are passionate about supporting and encouraging other women to start their own businesses and follow their dreams. That's why we're very happy to get behind ‘She's Next' as the programme really resonates with us. Whether the grant goes towards website development, social media, branding, marketing, or research, this is the extra support that women in business need right now. The coaching element is also wonderful to see as women can benefit from expertise and guidance to drive their business forward.” How to Apply The She's Next Grant Programme, in partnership with IFundWomen, is open to small businesses and organisations that are majority-owned by women, operating across all industries and sectors, through a simple application process. To enter, applicants are asked to submit details about their business and online presence at IFundWomen.com/VisaIreland. Applications are invited under five different categories: General Awards For: Microbusiness – sole proprietorships or microbusinesses with no more than two employees. Early-stage business – Businesses founded and incorporated within the last 24 months. Small business – Any small business with less than 50 employees. Additional two categories for: Innovation: Businesses in science, technology, engineering or medicine that are focused on developing new technologies. Sustainability: Businesses that show recognisable achievements in sustainability...

Anna Flockett and Liz Barclay discuss the work they do for small businesses  

Latinas From The Block To The Boardroom podcast is very excited to share this Small Business Week 2022 collaboration podcast, with Proactive Network Consulting. As a Latina from New York City, Michelle Londoño, wife, mother of 3 children and principal of Proactive Network Consulting services of San Francisco, shares with us how her entrepreneurial journey started by her grandmother immigrating from Colombia. She tell us the unexpected journey of transferring her nursing skills that she acquired through USF, here in the Bay Area, into a skill set to help her husband, Lawrence Flores, start and keep an IT services company growing for the next 25 years. How she managed to support her family and business clients through some of the most disruptive times, and for any small business, relied on the family values that she grew up with through her grandmother, her strong partnership with her husband and her nursing education. As we discussed in this podcast with Michelle, and in previous podcasts with Latinas who are building and or working in technology companies, the skill level for technology knowledge is absolutely a new requirement in any job market or small business. Today, many small businesses struggle to keep up their knowledge of new technology applications or platforms that can help support their small business and it can be overwhelming.

This week Ashley and Alex discuss how to continue supporting your favorite local businesses, even "post-COVID." Time and time again we've heard "I used to love that place, it's so sad that they're closing!" But if you support and frequent your favorite places, they will be less likely to close down. Alex brings up the current struggles facing the restaurant industry, and highlights how customers can be more understanding of the lack of staff that results in slower or different service. Ashley points out that the guidelines set forth by the state of NH have been dropped, and how difficult it has been for businesses to navigate the polarizing and difficult climate of masks, distancing, etc. Some people believe COVID is over, but we are here to bring the lasting effects on our business community to your attention! We urge you to please be kind, please be understanding, and keep supporting your favorite local businesses. Don't wait until it's too late!

Terrell Turner, a CPA in North Carolina, joined us for this episode of Where Accountants Go, the Accounting Careers Podcast.  Terrell caught our attention due to all the effort he has been putting into developing and producing video content for the small business community. Terrell started his career with the big firms – a Big 4 CPA firm in fact, and then a few other larger enterprises in industry, and it was there that he developed his understanding of business processes and his analytical skills.  As time went on, he found himself as many do, trying to find the right balance between professional life and personal endeavors, and thus decided to start his consulting practice.  With both him and his wife working in large corporate America, it was difficult to find the time that they would like outside of work, so it just made sense for them.  Terrell had always enjoyed helping out small businesses on occasion, so branching out into the self-employment world simply made sense. Fast forward several months now and Terrell has produced over 130 videos on business topics for prospective clients, and already started to build his portfolio of steady, repeat clientele.  He's definitely already well on his way to success, but there is still much more growth to come we are sure.  It will be fun to catch up with Terrell in a year or two for a follow-up episode.  He's doing some very interesting stuff.

Amanda Brinkman is the Chief Brand and Communications Officer at Deluxe Corporation and creator, producer and host of the hit series “Small Business Revolution,” which was named among Inc. Magazine's top shows for entrepreneurs. In the inspirational reality show, Brinkman showcases her love for small towns by spearheading efforts to revitalize entire communities by increasing the effectiveness of small businesses. In its first season, “Small Business Revolution” documented the $500,000 revitalization of Wabash, Indiana, in an online series featuring Brinkman and celebrity entrepreneur Robert Herjavec. After a wildly successful first year, they headed to Bristol Borough, Pennsylvania, for a second season and another round of small-business makeovers. For season 3, Brinkman was joined by a new co-host, renovation icon Ty Pennington, and brought the Small Business Revolution movement to the town of Alton, Illinois. And now, in the hit show's fourth season, Brinkman and Pennington will tackle a variety of marketing challenges for small businesses in Searcy, Arkansas. Brinkman is a sought-after public speaker, sharing her “Do Well By Doing Good” philosophy on stages around the country. She demonstrates how both companies and individuals can make a meaningful and positive difference in people's lives, while increasing their own success in the process. It is her passionate belief that companies must identify their brand's purpose but they cannot stop there, they must find their unique brand action. What You Will Learn: What is the Small Business Revolution The difference between giving and giving back How Amanda is increasing the effectiveness of small businesses across the U.S. Typical mistakes that SMBs make in their marketing efforts What is an intrapreneur How to bring creativity into a corporate environment Resources: Twitter: @amandakbrinkman Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/deluxecorp/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amandakbrinkman/ Website: https://www.deluxe.com/small-business-revolution/ Website: https://www.amandakbrinkman.com/blog/qa-with-leadership-expert-sue-hawkes/ Effectiveness | Revitalizing Main Street Small Business Revolution Outside of Amanda Brinkman's role as the Chief Brand and Communications Officer at Deluxe Corporation, she is the creator and host of “Small Business Revolution.” Amanda was inspired to tell the stories of 100 small businesses across the country, but it has since developed into an immensely popular docuseries changing hearts and minds everywhere. Her goal is to revitalize the proverbial “Main Street” in small towns throughout the U.S. by increasing the effectiveness and strength of their small businesses. Giving Back “Giving back” is a non-negotiable. Our purpose on this earth is to make other people's lives better, but so many companies draw the line at philanthropy and volunteerism. Large companies have a responsibility to take it a step further because they have the means to “give back” on a grand scale. Amanda increased Deluxe's effectiveness in this territory by devising a plan to help small businesses where it really counts. She found that the best way to connect with small businesses is to work with them directly, and Deluxe's offerings reflect that. Inspire Support Deluxe's products and services increase the effectiveness of small businesses, but the number one thing a small business needs is customers. Amanda realized that she could provide marketing expertise to help them drum up support. The best way to help small businesses is to work with them on all of the areas that don't come naturally. Marketing is one of them and many small businesses struggle with it. Amanda is doing everything in her power to help small businesses create a ripple effect in their communities, and she is using Deluxe as a vehicle to change lives for the better.
