Hey there, my fabulous listener, welcome to episode 195 of the Small Business Made Simple Podcast.

Thank you for lending me your ears today – I know you have lots of choices, so I sincerely appreciate me being one of them!

If you’re enjoying this podcast – I’d love to you take a screen shot and share it on your socials and tag me in it.  How cool would that be!

Don’t forget you can get the show notes for this podcast at www.socialmediaandmarketing.com.au/195

Before I get started on today’s episode – how did you go with last week’s episode? We chatted about Lead Magnets.  I’d love to know if you produced something, started to scribble notes about what your lead magnet could be or any action at all?  Let me know.  Drop a post and tag me inside the Like Minded Business Owners Facebook group – I’d love to hear.

So, today, on the podcast, I have a guest.  His name is Troy Brown and his business is called Xbert.  Spelt X B E R T.

Troy Brown founded and ran a highly successful marketing agency for 12 years before moving on to do the same with a digital agency for eight years. He and his teams delivered projects in Australia, New Zealand, and Asia for blue-chip and government clients.

After some serious issues in the financials of his business – including an employee committing expense fraud, and decisions being made on inaccurate data – led to a breakdown of the company, he was called to develop XBert, a software dedicated to helping business owners and their advisors make the right decisions through accurate data.

This interview is perfect timing considering the financial year is coming to a close and we all need to be looking at our finances and trying to send the best version, the most accurate version of them to our accountants in less than a month!  Or is that just me?!?!?

Take a listen and if you are keen to try out his software, you can head to https://xbert.io/ and read more about it there.

Otherwise, here’s my chat with Troy.

Did you enjoy that?  Did it get you thinking about how the piece of tech can help you, help you save money, and make business simpler?

I met Troy at a conference in Sydney earlier this year and knew I need you to hear about this piece of AI because it fitted my goal for this podcast so well – make small business simple (or at least simpler!).

Let’s continue the chat in my Like Minded Business Owners Facebook group – you can join on Facebook if you haven’t already.

Oh, and talking about my Like Minded Business Owners Facebook group – I have some amazing guests coming in there to do lives with me this year.  I am super excited by this.  From finance experts to PR and marketing experts (besides me) to Law experts – they are all coming on to give you their time and do some Q&As with the group.

Another amazing reason to come and join that community!

But that’s it for another episode of the Small Business Made Simple Podcast.

See you next week on the podcast for episode 196.  Wow 200 IS SO CLOSE – I’d better think about what I am going to do to celebrate!

But in the meantime, let’s hang out on social and get social on social – you’ll find me on Instagram, Facebook and my fav LinkedIn.

But whatever you do,

……..remember small business peeps, as my opening song says, there’s no point in dreaming small!
