Hey there, my amazing listener, welcome and thank you for tuning into episode 293 of the Small Business Made Simple Podcast.

This month, the theme is business basics. The basics things you need to know about business, to be successful. Maybe you’ve been in business for a while, but don’t be fooled sometimes going back to basics is exactly what you need to do to move forward.

Have you had a chance to listen into last week’s episode? It was all about sales – definitely a basic to get right! Frances had some amazing piece of sales gold in that episode, so make sure you go and check it out after listening to today’s episode. The link: www.socialmediaandmarketing.com.au/292

But before we get into today’s episode, I just wanted to talk about how I can help you in business. In point form, they are:

• Book an hour of power and get to pick my brain for 60 minutes on whatever’s holding you back or to help you set up your Instagram, Facebook or LinkedIn properly
• One to One Coaching – where we can really get stuck into your business and get shit done
• Use my Nine Week Marketing Transformation Program at get, well, the transformation in your marketing and business – everything I know is pretty much in that Nine Module/Week program!
• Buy Small Town Big Impact – the number one marketing book for small business owners – it’s written just for you … again with just about everything I know about marketing!, and lastly, and shhh, it’s been a secret,
• Join me for my LinkedIn retreat – yep, I am embracing my Favourite Social Media Platform LinkedIn and with Jules Brooke we are running a LinkedIn retreat in Daylesford Victoria in August.

 All these ways to help you with your marketing and more are available on my website www.socialmediaandmarketing.com.au

I’d love the chance to work with you because I know you are an action taker because you listen to this action-taking podcast! Reach out and let’s chat about how I can help you move your business forward even faster.

So, as mentioned April is about business basics and today, I have David Jenyns on the Podcast. I’ve known Dave for many years, we’ve collaborated over the Big Small Business Survey for the past few years and I knew him when he was the guy in Melbourne you need for SEO. But today, his business Systemology is changing the way small business runs by helping them think about their systems and processes differently. He has, literally, written the book on it! He is, in his own words, a systems devotee who systemized himself out of his business and now helps small businesses achieve exponential growth and success.

He’s amazing, you’ll see – here’s Dave.

So how did you enjoy that? As I admitted a few times, systems are not my thing – I definitely want them to be but they have not been much of a priority for me and I have paid the price over the years.

After chats with Dave I have implemented systems that make my life easier and, I hope, that of my connections, and clients. I still have lots of processes to document but I have started and that, my friend, is the best bit … just like I encourage you with your marketing and you might push back, we all just need to start.  How do you eat an elephant – one bit at a time!
