Today, Melinda shares with us the reality of running her business – including times when she didn’t think she would make it through. People see pictures of her online, on TV, and in webinars, and they think everything’s rainbows with the phone ringing off the hook. That’s true now, but that was not always true. This month marks Melinda’s 24th year in business, and she is coming up on her 14th year as your SmallBizLady, America’s #1 small business expert. In honor of this anniversary, she shares with listeners three times over the last 24 years that she thought she would go out of business and how turned it all around.
“One of the things I learned over the years is you have to focus on keeping your customers; keeping your customers is far less expensive than going out there and getting new ones.” – Melinda Emerson
