Better Off Said Nikki Butler and Becca Booker

27: Welcome back welcome backkk to another, well, the last episode of Better Off Said. Yes, you heard it right. Or read it right. We are taking a minute off. For all good reasons might we add. Nikki is a little surprised at the growth of her business right now, and she is really needing to step into that entrepreneurial role, spend time on the inside and figure out how to get this thing under control and as profitable as possible! We will miss chatting in your ears every Wednesday, but sometimes, we have to grow up, be mature and realize that it's okay to say no to things. Hear more details by pressing PLAY.

25: We all suffer from some sort of stress, anxiety, worry––whatever synonym you can think of for it––through the trials that tribulations that life deals us. There are so many misconceptions about what the definition of mental health actually means. Some think it only pertains to extreme, medically diagnosed illnesses that require treatment, when in fact, it encompasses to much more than that...
Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act.
Today, Nikki and Becca dive into their experiences dealing with their own mental health, what they feel triggers a negative effect on their mental health, and how they manage it.

24: The fall semester is basically here (where the heckkk did this year go?) so we are talking about our experiences and tips with hiring, firing, managing and interviewing unpaid interns. When you are a small business owner, interns are the best first step to take when looking for additional help with your business, however, there are certain rules and guidelines that you need to follow when your interns are unpaid to keep you out of hot water. It's also a whole new world adding interns to your one-man-show because managing someone can feel like a full time job itself if you don't get a good handle on a management system. So we're spilling all of our favorite platforms to make this process seamless. Plus, some funny interns stories and the best way to go about firing if you need to.
