MBA1665 Q&A Wednesday: Should I get interns to work for my startup? Nov 25, 2020

Show notes

You get what you pay for — even when it’s free.

It’s Q&A Wednesday, and we’ve got a tech startup founder who’s considering bringing on interns. It sounds like a can’t-lose: free labor from qualified young go-getters, right? But are there drawbacks?

Spoiler alert: yes. Lots.

Today, we discuss what you really take on when you “hire” an intern — and why it may not be the no-brainer it appears to be. We’ll explain what it actually costs to have one, even if it’s not an actual salary.

On the bright side, there are ways to get a good ROI from an intern, depending on the work you give them. Get all the details — Click Play!

MBA1661 Are Google Ads Worth It? Nov 19, 2020

Show notes

It’s the “other” SEO: paying Google to display your ads above the organic search results.

It’s expensive. But does it work?

Today, we discuss what kinds of businesses get the most from Google. We’ll explain why these ads work, and why they cost so much more than ads on social media.

The investment is high, but the returns are (potentially) game-changing.

It’s all part of a 2-part exploration of paid ads, which continues on tomorrow’s episode.

Tune in, and learn what makes Google ads worth their considerable price — for some businesses. Is yours one of them? Click Play!

MBA1660 Q&A Wednesday: How do I grow my cleaning service business? Nov 18, 2020

Show notes

When you personally provide a paid service, how can you scale up?

And can you do it without sacrificing quality?

Unless they finally invent cloning, a solopreneur can only do so much. Which means that every service-based business has a ceiling — once you reach a certain number of clients…that’s it.

Or is it?

It’s Q&A Wednesday, and we’ve got a listener who wants to go big. For now, the business is a two-person operation. But in today’s episode, we explain how to bring on a team that provides a consistent experience no matter who actually shows up.

Take a page from this growing small business, and learn how to scale. Click Play!

MBA1659 The 1 x 3 Focus Challenge Nov 17, 2020

Show notes

Focus = results.

It’s tempting — very tempting — to try and do everything. To spread your bets across multiple projects, products, and marketing channels. It even seems smart. Why put your eggs in one basket?

Well…because it can work. Really well.

Today, we introduce a challenge from a fellow founder that can change everything. It’s a way to hone in on what really gets results, and help you end the year on a high note. The 1×3 Focus Challenge isn’t complicated — and that’s the point.

By stripping down and focusing on a few key things, everything you do becomes that much more powerful. Hear how the Challenge works, and try it for yourself. Click Play!

MBA1658 Guest Teacher – Loren Weisman – How to Personalize the Navigation of your Business Strategy Nov 16, 2020

Show notes

One size does not fit all.

When you’re seeking guidance on business, there’s no shortage. But what worked for one “guru” might not work for you. For all the well-intentioned advice out there, none of it considers one key factor — you.

So how can you find your path to interdependent success?

Loren Weisman is a different kind of teacher. He won’t tell you to do what he did. He wants you to figure out what works best considering your resources, strengths, and style.

Tune in, and stop trying to fit square pegs into round holes. Protect yourself from “coaches” who are in it for their success, not yours. Click Play!

MBA1656 The Best Time To Take a Break Nov 12, 2020

Show notes

You need a break. But your business needs you.

What’s an entrepreneur to do?

Today, we discuss how to schedule vacations wisely. By being smart with your calendar, you can do what’s best for your business and for yourself — both of which depend on the other staying healthy.

These are practical steps for avoiding burnout, and protecting your free time.

Remember why you go into business: to create time for yourself. Anyone can work themselves to death. But the freedom of entrepreneurship is the freedom to step back and recharge.
