Ep 316316. Bosses & Breakfast: Holiday Marketing and Messaging
In our Bosses & Breakfast live show, we discussed the ways that businesses, big and small, are already starting to market for the holiday season, what you can learn from them, and what you should be doing, yourself. It went down so well that we wanted to bring you a snippet from the show and encourage you to go and watch the full thing!Christmas is here! It’s not even Thanksgiving yet, but all of the big stores have already switched over their branding for the holidays. They’ve done the hard work and laid the groundwork, so now it’s time to follow their leads! The Shop 1 in 5 business directory has been festively transformed, too.It can seem early to be thinking about it, but it’s so important to set the mood, and get customers ready for when they decide that they want to do their holiday shopping, whether it’s right now or Christmas Eve. The aim should be to create an experience for consumers that turns shopping into more than a chore that needs to be completed. Turning your store – online or otherwise – into an activity or something fun makes it all the easier to gently nudge shoppers toward seeing the potential of your products as gifts. Connect the dots for them, and they’ll thank you for doing them a favor! This clip left us feeling inspired and motivated to tackle the rest of the week, and we hope it does the same for you.

Ep 314314. The Desired Brand Effect with Tracy Matthews of Flourish & Thrive
Our friend and colleague, Tracy Matthews has written her very first book! She’s the custom jewelry designer behind the Thrive by Design podcast and Flourish & Thrive Academy, where she mentors product makers and designers to help them multiply their businesses. And, now, she’s sharing even more of that wisdom through her book, The Desired Brand Effect: Stand Out in a Saturated Market with a Timeless Jewelry Brand. Tracy has built multiple successful businesses using a methodology she invented to solve problems she was encountering in her own life. That turned into what she teaches now, and our conversation covered everything about it from the importance of creatives and makers in business (and just in general!), to how we should build businesses around our lives instead of forcing our lives to fit around a business.Brought to you by the Shop 1 in 5™ Pledge!

Ep 313313. When You Can’t Afford Ads, Do This
Anyone who’s run any sort of ads in the last couple of years (or just pays attention to marketing industry news) will know that Facebook recently went through a huge iOS change and ads no longer perform the way they used to. So what other options are there for marketing, either without Facebook or on a budget?Your social media strategy can practically become a form of advertising on its own, not to mention leveraging your own personal network and, of course, taking advantage of the Shop 1 in 5™ Pledge.But our favorite alternative to running ads is: collaborating. Collaborations can be paid, but the best ones take the form of a mutual exchange where you and someone else both give each other something and get something back of value in return. Maybe you’re an online-only business who can collaborate with a brick and mortar shop by running a pop-up in their shop for a day. Or maybe you want to team up with another business to run a joint giveaway promotion. The possibilities are endless. Just remember to keep your collaborations with businesses who have a relevant audience to the one you want to reach. Brought to you by the Shop 1 in 5™ Pledge!

Ep 311311. How to Reward Yourself For Your Hard Work
The end of the year is a time for reflection and relaxation. For product bosses, though, it's the busiest time of the year. We go, and go, and go, and go – often for the sake and benefit of others, our business, our customers, and our futures. But, what about right now? We can’t forget to take account of the good work being done and consistently reward ourselves for putting forth the effort to make it all happen.In this episode, we talk about the best ways to reward yourself and when, and share some examples of ways we’ve done so in the past to help put things in perspective. Hint: Rewarding yourself with a trip to the Galapagos in ten years doesn't cut it! We’re talking small-scale moments of bliss, decisions that hinge on the difference between three shavings of truffle mushroom and five.

Entrepreneurship comes in many different forms and everyone has their own personal definition. Some things that are entrepreneurial you can’t learn from a textbook, rather it is an innate mindset and it is truly hard work.Learning to be resourceful and resilient throughout your entrepreneurial journey is not a set formula you can use. To truly lean into a business mindset, you need to know how to get out of your own way and be ready to get up and keep going when obstacles arise. We’ve done it (multiple times), and we’ve helped thousands uplevel their mindset to meet – or even exceed – their business goals.
