5/16/2025

0 Comments

 
Another calendar page has come and gone and with it, we’re ushering in May and Small Business Month. There’s no better time to show some local love! 

Small businesses are the heartbeat of our community. They’re the coffee shops where we meet friends, the boutiques that stock one-of-a-kind finds, and the service providers who remember our names and donate to our causes. 

But before you think this is a new call to spend money, know that you don’t need a big budget to make a big impact.

Every purchase (yes, there’s the money but wait…), referral, and review goes a long way toward helping small businesses thrive.

Whether you have $5 or just five minutes, we have some creative, fun, and meaningful ways to support small businesses this month.

So get out into our community and support those who help make it what it is.

The Missing Key That Could Help With Employee Retention

11/1/2024

0 Comments

 
​Does your business seem to be a revolving door of employees? If so, there are several reasons why that could be true that have nothing to do with your business itself. It could be the nature of your industry. Some industries are seasonal or attract a more nomadic employee base that tends to wander. It could also be a problem with one of your managers or supervisors. Perhaps, it’s a lack of growth opportunities.
 
If you’re shaking your head thinking, “No, that’s not it,” and you’re wondering what it could be for your business, The 2024 Intuit QuickBooks Allstate Health Solutions Benefits Survey may provide some answers.
 
The survey of 1,000 employees from both small and large companies reveals just how important employee benefits packages are in today's competitive job market.

10/25/2024

0 Comments

​Have you noticed these days that everyone seems to have a course or at least a YouTube video on how they do what they do? Teaching has become a secondary (and sometimes primary) revenue stream for the small business professional. Marketers, eBay sellers, and even real estate agents are turning how-to instruction into a new business.
 
Sure, it can enhance your brand, generate additional revenue, and establish you as an authority in your field. But it’s not always the answer for every business.
 
Before jumping into becoming an online guru in your industry, it's important to weigh the benefits and challenges to instructional content creation. Here’s a guide to help you decide whether going that route is the right step for your business.

How to Get Unstuck in Your Small Business

10/11/2024

0 Comments

 
If you’re a business owner or feel responsible for a business (regardless of your actual job title), it’s not unusual to feel stuck. No, I’m not talking about the golden handcuff-kind-of-stuck where because of the cost of living, you can’t get off the work treadmill. I’m talking about feeling stuck from a mental perspective—completely uninspired. 

Like the business version of writer’s block, when you’re stuck, you’re not feeling creative, and your business is paying the price for it. Yes, the simple answer to when you feel this way is to take some time off—a vacation or, if you’re able, a sabbatical. 
​
But that’s simply not feasible for many of us. So, what do you do to bring back that loving feeling? To feel the excitement you used to feel about your business? To see things from a new perspective again?

You must first recognize that there is a problem and then you need to shake things up.
