The joy of having returning clients and customers...the level of trust they must have in you and your services...the increase in confidence you have in your business. No matter whether you're 10 years in business or 10 days, these feelings are priceless.
How do you create more of them? How do you increase those returning customers? We have the answer for you.
Tune into this episode with host, Vanessa Zamy, as she shares her top secrets and tricks for you to create a safe and supportive space for your clients and customers to continue coming back.
Most people struggle to create real wealth, do only what they love, and feel a sense of happiness on a daily basis. Do you know why? Their minds are liabilities which work against them. Their minds constantly scream worry, doubt, and fear with every decision they make. People who have already created wealth, success, and happiness have minds that are an asset that work for them, not against them. Their minds inspire certainty, confidence, and courage.
Tune into our show, Entrepreneurship Is A Marathon with host Vanessa Zamy and Guest, Mike Kitko, as he helps you turn your mind into an asset capable of creating anything you want.
About Our Guest: A Marine with an MBA, Mike successfully served in executive leadership roles for Fortune 500 companies, yet he felt like an imposter. No matter how much success he achieved, he always felt unsuccessful, unfulfilled, and unhappy. His inability to understand his internal conflicts led him to excessive drinking, uncontrolled anger and rage, and the abuse of everything he cared about in life. Through coaching, intense study, and deep work, Mike learned to understand the four conflicting voices inside each of us which create internal conflict. By identifying and shifting these internal narratives, Mike was able to take complete control of his life and results, and now helps others do the same. He has created real wealth, success, and happiness, and he wants to help you do the same.
As a small business owner looking to make a positive impact in your community, it is necessary to attract and nurture effective and strong relationships.
But how???
Tune in tonight for three key ways you can attract stronger relationships with leads, partners, and customers so you keep that business flowing and growing :)

"I don't have it in me today...(tomorrow...and maybe even the day after that)."
I bet this line isn't new to you. Maybe you've heard it before from your employees, your clients, or perhaps you said it yourself. Often, we think this is just a passing feeling as long as we're functioning and being 'productive'.
But... when we just let it be, we start to see its effects in everything we do. Low productivity, low morale, low motivation,
A classic case of Burnout.
Burnout doesn't go away on its own but you most certainly don't have to face it alone, especially on the days you don't have it in you.
That is why we started this community...The Burnout Panel. An empowered group of experts from diverse backgrounds, knowledge, and experiences that help prevent and address the glaring issue of burnout (so you can go back to having a productive "you" and team after!)
Each Month, we'll share with you insights and actionable tips on how to combat the biggest issues on Burnout.

"Chances are the reason they applied is because they respect and honor some part of the company and what it is that you're doing...but they still need to understand what it is and what does it mean to work in the company"
