Big Talk About Small Business

What if we told you that the constant stress and unpredictability of running a small business could be managed with real, actionable advice from those who've been through it? Learn how to tackle the most daunting tasks first and see why expensive success formulas are often just myths. We debunk the illusion that other businesses have it all figured out and provide you with the reassurance that there's no one-size-fits-all solution to entrepreneurial challenges.
Ever feel like you're a bulldozer, always pushing forward but frustrated when others don't pull their weight? Discover the art of relentless drive and the different types of effort required for success. From gentle nudges to major efforts, we explore how to navigate these dynamics and share a humorous anecdote from a candlepin bowling outing to highlight the importance of humor amidst the hustle. Make better decisions and overcome the pitfalls of inaction with practical advice rooted in real experiences.
Prepare for the rollercoaster of entrepreneurial growth and acquisitions as we contrast the management styles of small businesses and large corporations. Learn how nimble approaches can lead to faster innovation and how to strategically decide whether to scale up or aim for acquisition. We walk you through the emotional and practical aspects of significant business deals, emphasizing the importance of strategic planning and maintaining your company culture during transitions.
