Podcasts about small small business

In the past few months we have seen a record amount of interest in small businesses from potential buyers, but actual sales of small businesses is down nearly 10% in that same period. It seems people like to look but they aren't actually willing to put their money where their mouth is. Managing director of ABC Business Sales Chris Small talked to Mike Hosking.

From time to time, it can be hard to not feel like things just aren't going your way. Maybe sales in your business are down, maybe you're behind on your day-to-day tasks.   Like many thought leaders, you may also be weighing whether or not you're in the right niche or offering the right products or services. Put simply, you might be feeling misaligned but unsure where or how to fix it.   Here, we're joined by problem solver, organizational strategist, and humanitarian Steve Fredlund to discuss just that.   After more than 20 years in corporate America – and feeling misaligned in the process – Steve launched a non-profit and ultimately went on a journey to become "unstuck" that took him around the world including four trips to Rwanda.   Today, he's a Fellow of the Society of Actuaries, the founder of Small Small Business, a two-time TEDx speaker, and the creator of The Solving BOX framework for innovation and problem-solving.   In this episode, he breaks down how you can learn from his experiences to un-stick your own life and business and find where you feel aligned and purposeful.   Let's dive in!   Show Notes:   ✅ Interested in learning more about Steve's work?
