Moments with an M.E.O‪.‬ Britt

It's the first episode featuring a subscription box owned by a military spouse, and in this episode we have Shanan from Music Library Box. Shanan and I connected and after a few messages back and forth we discovered we were musical sorority sisters! She has created a business teaching and instilling a love for books and music. Episode 132 of the Moments with an MEO podcast is all about Shanan and her journey to Music Library Box.

In this episode, we talk about:
- How she created her box, with her background as a music teacher and homeschooling mama.
- Why she recommends a strong launch if you decide to create a subscription box yourself.
- What success looks like to her, and how you can find successful moments within your own business or daily life today.

Military life is full of separations, and while they can be difficult for you and your whole family, it's a great time to get extra work done in your small business.

This is episode 130 of the Moments with an MEO podcast.

In this episode, I chat about:

I was having brunch with a friend last weekend and I was served two pancakes; the chef thought the first one was a little burnt. If you were at a Denny's or an iHop, they'd probably serve it to you anyway, but this chef worked at the restaurant known for their pancakes. So he still served it, he just served it with a second pancake. It was this interaction that's prompted this episode. Episode 129 of the Moments with an MEO podcast is about why it's important to own up to your mistakes, say you don't know, and just be honest when it comes to your work. 

In this episode I talk about: 
The interaction at the restaurant, and how it made me feel as a (literal) consumer.Why you should be honest when it comes to your work, and your mistakes.The power of building a trusted and well-known brand.A recent mistake I've made recently (or many) and how I have owned up to them.

The last two weeks I have said no to a lot of things; but none of them were easy. In this episode, I want to help you understand that it's not easy for any of us to say no, but also to recognize that saying no is important. I said no to a few volunteer opportunities as well as some things that were bringing me income, and I talk about them a little bit in this episode, along with my decision to say no. Episode 128 of the Moments with an MEO podcast is all about the week of saying no. 

In this episode, I uncover: 
Different leaps we take as an entrepreneurHow to say no to a client or customer or inquiryWhy I chose to say no to the things I did the last two weeksWhy you should say no more often.And more! Liked this episode? Share it or leave a review! Thanks so much for your support!
