Hey Besties!
We're back with another sparkly episode of "Small Business Bestie"! Episode 15 is jam-packed with golden nuggets, inspiring stories, and, of course, the electrifying energy of our fabulous hosts and guests. So, grab your favorite cup of coffee (or tea, we don’t judge) and let’s dive right in! 🥳
This episode, Michelle teams up with two incredible women from Novi Edge—Gwen Riley and Beth Keller. Now, if you haven’t heard of Novi Edge, you’re in for a treat! Gwen and Beth are on a mission to turn those small business jitters into juggernaut triumphs by helping with everything from people to profits and planning.
First up, we have Gwen Riley, a powerhouse with 22 years of experience. She's the former owner of a heating, air, and plumbing company. Combining this hands-on know-how with her consulting prowess, Gwen brings a magnetic force of practical wisdom to Novi Edge. Seriously, this woman gets business from the inside out!
Then, there’s Beth Keller, another superwoman with 22 years at Aflac. Beth's specialty? Guiding, mentoring, and maximizing talents in a straight commission business. She’s the kind of leader who turns potential into performance, and she’s all about helping entrepreneurs focus on their strengths rather than juggling all those pesky roles.
So, what’s the magic behind Novi Edge? It’s all about a customized, holistic approach. Whether you’re a local startup or an online newcomer, Gwen and Beth's team cater to your unique business needs, focusing on that sweet spot of small businesses with 2-100 employees and half-a-million to 10 million in revenue.
One thing they stress? Knowing your numbers! Yep, understanding your financials is like having a GPS for your business journey. And hey, they don’t just give advice and vanish. Their 90-day igniter program is a game-changer. It’s like having a personal training plan for your business, complete with videos, workbooks, coaching sessions, and those oh-so-essential team meetings.
Both Gwen and Beth emphasize the importance of confidence and accountability. Ever feel that imposter syndrome creeping in? Who hasn’t, right? These wonder women tackle it head-on, ensuring you’re not just dreaming big but acting big, with a solid plan and support.
From using tech tools to maximize efficiency to leveraging a strong network for resources and funding, they’ve got strategies and insights to supercharge your business. Plus, they offer personal coaching because let’s be real—balancing life and business is the ultimate juggling act!
Speaking of juggling, Michelle and Beth chat about the wonders of morning routines. A little quiet time, some uplifting affirmations, and starting your day with intention can transform your flow. Imagine kicking off each day with the clarity and energy of a go-getter on a mission! 🌟
What’s beautiful about this episode is the camaraderie and passion. Michelle’s co-ownership in Cultivate Accounting and her role as a small business coach shine through as she shares empowering messages. She invites listeners (that’s you!) to connect with her on Facebook and subscribe to the podcast—it's like joining a fabulous business sorority supporting each other’s wildest dreams.
As the episode wraps, the overarching message is clear and heartening: Keep dreaming and moving forward, even when scared. Gwen, Beth, and Michelle underscore how vital it is for business owners to be supported and poured into. They’re not just consultants; they’re cheerleaders for your success.
So, what are you waiting for? Dive into Episode 15, soak up that business wisdom, and remember—your Small Business Besties have got your back. Let’s make those big dreams happen, one confident step at a time! 🚀
