    Ep #186 You don’t have to have an innovative idea to run a successful business!~ From The Humble Entrepreneur.

    Do you have a great idea for a business, but you're not sure if it's innovative enough? Well, I'm here to tell you that you don't need to have the next big thing to be successful.

    In fact, many of the most successful businesses in the world started with simple ideas. For example, Jeff Bezos started Amazon by selling books online. And Mark Zuckerberg started Facebook as a way for college students to connect with each other.

    So, if you have a great idea for a business, don't let the fear of not being innovative hold you back. Just get started and see where it takes you.

    In this podcast, we'll explore the different ways to start a business without having an innovative idea.

    So, if you're ready to learn how to start a business without having an innovative idea, then tune in to the "You Don't Have to Be Innovative to Run a Business" podcast.

    Ep #185 How to deal with negative social media reviews! ~ From The Humble Entrepneur.

    Ep #185 How to deal with negative social media reviews! ~ From The Humble Entrepneur.

    In today's digital age, social media is one of the most important channels for businesses to connect with their customers. But with that power comes responsibility. Businesses need to be prepared to deal with negative reviews, both good and bad.

    Negative reviews can be tough to swallow, but they can also be a valuable learning opportunity. When you receive a negative review, take the time to read it carefully and understand the customer's complaint. Then, respond in a professional and respectful way.

    Here are a few tips for responding to negative reviews:

    Acknowledge the customer's complaint.

    Apologize for any inconvenience or
    frustration the customer has experienced.

    Explain what steps you're taking to
    address the issue.

    Offer to make things right, if
    possible.

    It's important to remember that negative reviews are not always fair or accurate. But even if you disagree with the customer's complaint, it's important to respond in a way that is respectful and helpful.

    By responding to negative reviews in a thoughtful and timely manner, you can show your customers that you value their feedback and that you're committed to providing a positive experience.

    Ep #184 Your business marketing is like joining a gym! ~ From The Humble Entrepreneur.

    Ep #184 Your business marketing is like joining a gym! ~ From The Humble Entrepreneur.

    It sounds totally mad right! Marketing is like going to the gym. And before you tell me to get some sitting down done or give my head a wobble, it is in fact true!

     

    There are many parallels that can be drawn with business marketing and going to the gym or even just joining the gym. And when you can get your head around it, it makes you think of marketing in a different way. Lets be honest we all want or need more customers! So do yourself a favour, grab a brew and tune in for a listen to this episode, you never know, you might just snag a new
    customer because of it!

    Ep #183 RANT ~ Always have a back up! ~ From The Humble Entrepreneur.

    Ep #183 RANT ~ Always have a back up! ~ From The Humble Entrepreneur.

    As you know, life doesn't always go according to plan. Things happen that are out of our control, and sometimes our plans have to change.

    That's why it's so important to have a backup plan.

    A backup plan is a contingency plan that you have in place in case your
    original plan doesn't work out. It could be anything from having a second job lined up in case you lose your current job to having a plan for how you'll get home if your car breaks down.

    Having a backup plan can give you peace of mind knowing that you're prepared for whatever life throws your way. It can also help you to stay calm and focused when things go wrong.

    In this episode, we'll talk about why it's important to have a backup plan, and if you have any questions about backup plans, please leave them in the comments below. We'll do our best to answer them.

     

    Thanks for listening, and I'll see you next time.

    Ep #182 Social media is not essential for a small business to be successful! ~ From The Humble Entrepreneur.

    Ep #182 Social media is not essential for a small business to be successful! ~ From The Humble Entrepreneur.

    Social media has become an integral part of our lives, and it's easy to see
    why businesses would want to be a part of it. After all, social media can be a great way to connect with customers, promote your products or services, and build brand awareness.

    But the truth is, social media isn't necessary for every business. In fact,
    there are some businesses that are better off without it.

    Here are a few reasons why social media might not be right for your business:



    Your target audience is not on social media. If your target audience is older adults, for example, they're less likely to be on social media than younger adults.

    You don't have the time or resources to manage social media effectively. Social media can be a time-consuming and resource-intensive investment. If you don't have the time or resources to do it right, it's better to skip it altogether.

    Your business model doesn't lend itself to social media. If your business is B2B, for example, you may not need social media to reach your customers.


    If you're thinking about using social media for your business, it's important to weigh the pros and cons carefully. If you decide that social media isn't right for you, don't worry. There are plenty of other ways to reach your customers and build your brand. Before social media was invented people still managed to effectively market their businesses!


    If you're interested in learning more about how to use social media effectively for your business, be sure to get in touch with me. And if you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment below.

    Ep #181 7 things I wish I knew before starting a small business ~ From The Humble Entrepreneur.

    Ep #181 7 things I wish I knew before starting a small business ~ From The Humble Entrepreneur.

    Starting a business is an exciting and rewarding experience, but it can also be challenging and overwhelming. There are so many things to think about, from coming up with a business idea to securing funding to marketing your product or service. If you're thinking about starting a business, there are a few things I wish I knew before I got started.



    No one can build a successful business alone. You need to surround yourself with a team of talented and dedicated people who share your vision. Find people who are smarter than you, who challenge you, and who help you grow.



    Starting a business is a journey, not a destination. It's full of ups and
    downs, but it's also incredibly rewarding. If you're willing to put in the
    work, you can achieve anything you set your mind to.



    I hope this intro helps you on your journey to starting a business.
