| 30 May 2022 | 115: 5 Must-Have Boundaries Your Business Needs | 00:10:04 | |
When you think of the word “boundary” chances are you may think of a barrier of some kind — like a wall. When I first heard the word boundary in the context of small business, I have to admit, I thought the word boundary had a bad connotation… that creating any sort of barrier would be limiting from a business perspective. The more I learned, though — and the more boundaries we created within our own business — the more I realized how boundaries can actually help us to serve our clients better while also helping us to create more successful, more sustainable businesses too. Today, I’m sharing 5 must-have boundaries worth considering for your small business.

Over the past couple of weeks, we’ve not only done a great deal of personal self-reflection, but we’ve also been in awe as the world’s collective voices have joined in unison to fight racism. We’ve learned and determined ways we can actively be anti-racist, ways we can actively make the world a better place for people and for communities near and far. While we know being actively anti-racist will require seasons upon seasons of learning, unlearning, and daily, personal and professional decisions — today, we wanted to share how to incorporate giving into your business, to begin the journey of serving people beyond the products and services you provide through your business. Incorporating philanthropy into your business is just one small way you can use your business for good — so we are hopeful today’s episode serves as encouragement that, our collective voices and actions are changing and can continue to change the world.

| 17 Dec 2020 | 047: How to Prepare Your Business for Holiday Break | 00:06:48 | |
Both personally and professionally, 2020 has been a unique year for a wide variety of reasons. One unexpected discovery we’ve had is: Because our businesses are online, and because of quarantine, we have worked all year long, without a break. Maybe you can relate. According to an article in Harvard Business Review, on average, business owners in the U.S. work a 72-hour work week — which could mean vacation days are minimal. An Inc. Magazine article shares, “a lack of vacation can lead to anxiety and hinder our ability to think clearly in order to grow our businesses.” This article goes on to share that, as business owners, we should take, at minimum, four weeks of vacation per year — with at least one week each quarter to reboot our minds, rest our bodies, enjoy the present, and plan for the future.

| 16 Apr 2020 | 015: 3 Signs You Need Clarity in Your Business | 00:09:26 | |
We believe that when you say “yes” to the wrong projects in business, you’re really saying “no” to the projects you created your business to do. And the more you say yes, the farther your business goes from the vision, goals, and purpose you had in mind when you first created your business. Today, we want to share 3 signs you need to find more clarity and focus in your business — and 3 ways to find that clarity and focus decision by decision. Because when you do, you’ll not only begin a season of purpose in your business — but you’ll also be able to serve your clients well, with the products and services you are gifted in providing. With more clarity, your audience will have more clarity in what you do, too — and you’ll give your business an opportunity to become the go-to business in your field.

| 09 Apr 2020 | 014: When and How to Raise Your Prices | 00:08:22 | |
The way you price your products and services matters. There are so many details to consider like — your overhead, the cost to produce your products and services, the value of your time, and how you hope to position your business. The decision to raise your prices often stems from an idea like this: In order to work fewer hours - or, let’s be honest, in order to work reasonable business hours - and serve fewer people through a more personal experience, the prices of your products and services should or need to be raised. So, should you raise your prices? It’s a question that seems to lead to even more questions: What will happen if I raise my prices? What if prospective clients say my prices are too high? In today’s episode, we’re going to share when — and how — to raise your prices.
