Let’s be real— running a small business isn’t for the faint of heart. You’ve got customers to serve, bills to pay, and about a million other things demanding your attention. And now, in 2025, local SEO isn’t just a nice-to-have. It’s a lifeline. When someone in your area Googles what you do, you need to show up. Not on page four. Not under three big chains.

Marketing can be tricky. The variables are endless. Timing. Messaging. Your offering. Your prospects are all at a picnic. Who knows? Invisibility is often more dangerous than failure. We pour energy, money, and creativity into marketing, and sometimes? Crickets. Why is this? Because in most cases, we play marketing too safe. Boring marketing is invisible marketing.

Every business has bottlenecks At many board meetings, I can be counted upon to ask , “Where’s the bottleneck this month?” Senior management is usually prepared with an answer, and a good discussion of resource availability and application follows. Sometimes, the bottleneck is not so visible to the CEO. In those instances, I follow with: “Do you notice people waiting at your door, telling you that they were waiting for your response or decision, even if you were unaware of this?

Before AI transforms entire industries, it’s already transforming our everyday lives, one assistant, one agent, one GenAI-powered consumer app at a time. Historically, the biggest tech companies have often been in the consumer space, from giants like Apple, Amazon, and Google to recent giants like Uber and Airbnb. While only 5 out of 140+ companies in a recent Y Combinator batch were consumer-focused, the consumer market for AI is poised for significant growth.

Founders with great businesses are often frustrated that they can’t raise money. Here’s why. I’ve been having coffee with lots of frustrated founders (my students and others) bemoaning most VCs won’t even meet with them unless they have AI in their fundraising pitch. And the AI startups they see are getting valuations that appear nonsensical. These conversations brought back a sense of Déjà vu from the Dot Com bubble (at the turn of this century), when if you didn’t have internet as part of your

Normally, we talk about underpaying when the topic of invoices comes up. Businesses are guilty of terrible invoice management, meaning clients and customers don’t pay the full amount on time. Everyone is aware of this, so it’s not the biggest shock in the world. However, most businesses aren’t aware that overpaying invoices can be just as bad, if not worse.

Don’t Forget the “Relations” in “Public Relations” (or PR)! When you appear in the media that your target market pays attention to, you receive third-party credibility you can’t get in any other way. This is because it’s not advertising or a paid placement; it’s what public relations, or PR, is all about. You may already know this. Perhaps you tried sending out a press release… and nothing happened, so you gave up on PR.

One of the biggest myths in entrepreneurship is that the more involved you are in every part of your business, the more successful it will be. Lies, I tell you!
