Welcome to the first episode of the SmallBizChat Podcast – the show that’s on a mission to help you improve your small business and avoid small business failure. I’m your host, Melinda Emerson “SmallBizLady,” America’s #1 Small Business Expert.
On today’s episode, I share who I am, how I became known as the SmallBizLady, and the challenges I’ve faced throughout my entrepreneurial journey. I share how being on bedrest while pregnant with my son forced me to slow down and allowed me to discover the mistakes I’ve made as an entrepreneur. I share how I found inspiration and motivation from these mistakes and how it led me to help other entrepreneurs. I also share how the SmallBizChat Twitter talk show got started and what you can expect from each episode of the SmallBizChat podcast.
“Figure out what your calling is. Then, be ready to do the work.”
