How to Be the Best Podcast Guest Ever!

Have you considered being a guest on a podcast? First, you need to determine if the podcast world is a fit for you. Do your clients, referral partners or others interested in your services listen to podcasts? Do you have a message, background story or other information that fits the podcast format? When I asked myself those questions, I found that being a podcast guest is a good fit for me. I also discovered that I have a knack for the kind of extemporaneous speaking that works well in this environment. Also, being a podcast guest allows me to inspire [...]

Frankly, I was ill-prepared for these challenges when I had to deal with them.   Here's How I Injured Myself On Friday, June 11, I fell and broke two bones in my right wrist when I was walking my dogs at a park near my home. They wanted to play with a dog they saw on the trail and broke away from me, knocking me over in the process. My husband, Bruce, took me to the local emergency room after I [...]

The Importance of Your Why and the Why of Your Customers

Do ever wonder about the importance of your “why” as a business owner and the “why” of your customers? Ariel Naftali and Tish Gance spoke about these topics at the June meeting of my Simplify Your Social Media Meetup group.  Ariel, a purpose coach, focused on the business owner's why. Then Tish, a brand experience designer, provided examples of what goes into a customer’s purchase decisions – their why. Each month I invite speakers to address social media topics or related aspects of business at my Meetup group. I record the presentations and then post them in a playlist on [...]

In-Person Business Networking is Back!

I’m delighted that in-person business networking is back! As an off-the-chart extravert and compulsive connector, it feels great to be seeing people face-to-face again. My very first in-person business networking event since the pandemic started took place this week. I attended Women in Business, an offering of the West Metro Chamber of Commerce, my local chamber. At this monthly program, geared toward women business owners, we have terrific speakers and plenty of time to mingle with each other. Each month we have a different sponsor, and this time Colorado Credit Union both sponsored and hosted the event. Shauna Brazil, Director [...]

The Fortune is the Follow-Up

Jim Rohn was a highly-regarded motivational speaker, author, entrepreneur, investor, and business philosopher.  One of his best-known quotes is “The fortune is in the follow-up,” meaning you need to follow up with a person to make a sale. This approach is also very relevant to business networking. Following up after events or group meetings is essential if you are to generate results. Recently, I was telling a business colleague that 70% of my business comes from networking. She responded that if that was the case, I must be good with my follow-up, and I am. My disciplined approach to follow-up [...]
