• Sleep / Health - Your health can have a definite impact on your business. Hally Brooke, founder and CEO of Live Nourished Coaching is back to talk to us about the importance of sleep as a business owner. Sleep is crucial to keeping our brains in top form to make decisions, come up with new ideas, and to concentrate. Taking the time to sleep as a practice can not only better your health, but also have monetary benefits for your business.
• Value > Price / Sales - When it comes to sales, are you hearing "No" more than you're hearing "Yes"? The problem might be in your sale process. Michael Rampolla, strategist and coach at Spearity is giving us tips to convince someone to buy from you and not the competition.
• Vacation Prep / Time Off - If you're not already planning to take some time off at the end of the year, you're already behind where you should be. Pat is sharing the 4 things you can do to prep your small business for time off over the holidays.
