Mon, 23 Sep 2024 - 2646 - MBA2271 Q&A Wednesday: I’m stuck! My business is not growing. What do I do?
To borrow a quote from a book title, “What got you here won’t get you there.” It’s normal for new businesses to hit a plateau after a period of initial growth. But how do you…y’know, move past it?
It’s Q&A Wednesday, and we’ve got a listener with exactly that problem.
Plateaus can happen for any number of reasons. Market saturation, changing consumer preferences, economic downturns, competition — the list goes on. When it happens, get your lab coat on! Because the best thing you can do is experiment.
Think of it like starting your business all over again, but with more knowledge.
To keep growing and stay competitive, businesses have to be ready to pivot to new ways of earning customers. This means being open to new marketing techniques, exploring new sales channels, and even rethinking products or services. As the business scales, you might have to redesign all kinds of processes or look at new tools.
Again, you have to experiment.
Ultimately, the key to (continued) success is to be flexible and adaptable. Learn more about all that, and hear our advice — Click Play at the top of the page!

Wed, 22 Mar 2023 - 16min - 2645 - MBA2142 Should You Offer Payment Plans for High-Ticket Offers? + Free Ride Friday
Charging in installments works for infomercial products. But will it work for yours?
When you don’t collect the entire price of your product or service right away, you take a risk. You may see one or two payments, only to forfeit the rest. That said, when you only accept full payment up front, you risk not making the sale.
The key is to understand what kinds of offers benefit from payment plans — and which don’t.
Today, we break down the advantages and pitfalls of payment plans, and what factors make them riskier. We’ll explore the price points and product types that do better or worse with payment plans, including the one thing you shouldalwaysget money up front for.

Fri, 23 Sep 2022 - 14min - 2644 - MBA2141 How Often Should You Post to Social Media?
When it comes to social media, more isn’t always better.
Our instinct (and a lot of advice out there) is to post as much and as often as possible. But the data — and our experience — don’t bear that out.
Today, we take a dive into the available data on social media, and unpack how exactly you can use FB, Twitter, the ‘Gram, and LInkedIn toyouradvantage. Remember: these platforms and the companies that run them have their own goals, and it’s not to grow your business.
The key is to balance the platform’s agenda with your own.
Learn what each channel looks for (and rewards) so that you can post and interact in a way that works. Choose the right channel for your niche and content style. Use the numbers to create a strategy that’s effective — not a guess.
As they say, if you’re not paying for the product, youarethe product. Don’t let social media platforms benefit only themselves. With the right knowledge, they can work for your business too. Click play at the top of this page!

Email is one of the most powerful tools for an independent business.

Learn what every independent business needs from their email platform, and how to make sure you choose the right one. And of course, we’ll share our personal recommendation for the platform we trust with our own campaigns.

Tue, 20 Sep 2022 - 16min - 2641 - MBA2138 Must Read: Effortless by Greg McKeown
Harder doesn’t mean better.
In fact, the opposite might be true. For as powerful as grit and a solid work ethic can be, we’re never grunting and sweating when we’re at our best. We’re smooth. We’re fluid.
We’re…Effortless.
Greg McKeown first changed our approach to business with his truly essentialEssentialism, which advocates for a strict focus on what matters most. Now,Effortlessadds a new dynamic: embracing the ease that characterizes our best efforts.
Of course, it means reframing your mindset. If you believe that “hard work” is always the way forward, it might take some mental pivoting to understand that incredible results often come from low levels of effort — at least as people typically understand effort.

Mon, 19 Sep 2022 - 19min - 2640 - MBA2137 How To Create Attractive Templates To Get More Leads + Free Ride Friday
Information isn’t the only thing that gets leads.
When we create free lead magnets, we often default to sharing information. After all, sharing what we know doesn’t cost much, and knowledge is easy to transfer online. But there’s another option — and it’s just as good for conversions: templates.
Whether it’s email or blog post templates, slide deck templates, or something else, a template doesn’t teach your lead anything. But it still empowers them.
In other words, a free template is a solution to a pain point, just as much as an e-book or checklist is. The difference: it’s easier to use right away, and leaves a smaller gap between what you gave your lead and what theyactually did with it.
Today, hear how we use free templates as highly effective lead magnets. And learn how to ask yourself what kinds of templates your audience might appreciate. Click play at the top of this page!

When you’re new to business, it can feel impossible to turn anything, or anyone, down. But if you’re not careful, you can “yes” yourself into a total productivity breakdown — leaving your business worse off than if you’d simply had the courage to say “no.”
It’s Q&A Wednesday, and we’re helping a classic “yes” addict. What many of us don’t realize is that every time we say “yes” to one thing, we are — by definition — saying “no” to something else. That can only lead to one conclusion: a great entrepreneur has priorities, not an endless To-Do list.

Marketing: should you hire out, or hire in?
It’s kind of like deciding whether to cook or call for takeout. On the one hand, you have ease, convenience, and the experience of specialists. On the other, you have a chance to create something that’s yours — something truly grounded in your own business and message.
We’ve done both, so we know the advantages of each option.
Today, we discuss the true value of outside marketing agencies versus your own marketing staff. Which is the smarter play for you? With so many facets of marketing to consider (content, strategy, copy, etc.), building your own marketing team is no small project. But the long-term rewards can mean everything to your business.

Meetings: is there anyone who actually likes them?
For most businesses, meetings are a must, at least occasionally. Very rare is the business in which the team never gets together, either virtually or in person. However, too many meetings are just as dangerous as too few. So what’s the right frequency for your business?
Today, we discuss how to determine exactly how often to meet. From the daily “Stand Up” to the monthly get-together, we’ve seen dozens of different approaches, with varying degrees of success. Balancing the need for communication with the need for efficiency can be a tricky proposition, one with serious impact on the morale and productivity of your team.

The age old question for entrepreneurs with growing teams: when does is stop being smart to pay by the hour? When is a salary the right move?
Depending on the employee, how you pay them can make all the difference in both their productivity and your return on investment. And while one option definitely (usually) costs more than the other, what you get back for that money is just as variable.
We had to learn this ourselves, with our own businesses depending on a remote team of dozens.
Our mixture of full-time employees, part-timers, and freelancers requires a careful balance of pay-affecting factors. With pros and cons to both approaches, weighing the cost of employee pay with the value of employee work can be tricky business — especially when the pay structure has a serious impact on the quality of their work.
Today, we discuss how to decide which way you’ll pay a given employee, how to set expectations, and how to ensure you’ll both get what you need from each other in a mutually beneficial arrangement. Click play at the top of the page!

Fortunately, you don’t need to hire an expensive pro to design effective Facebook ads. There are several options, and lots of resources, for the DIY advertiser. With a little guidance and some helpful tools, you can create several Facebook-friendly images that work perfectly within the social site’s parameters.
Knowing Facebook’s rules and applying one of the 3 options we discuss today will pay off, with a patient approach to the platform that prioritizes efficiency. In relatively little time, at little cost, you can unleash ads that work, avoiding common pitfalls along the way.
