  1. Fighting Complacency and Regaining your Small Business Edge – Small Business Show 93 Shannon Jean & Dave Hamilton 24:33

Don'T Get Complacent With Your Small BusinessHas your Small Business lost it’s edge? Has your past success enabled people to slow down the pace of work? How do you beat back complacency and invigorate your team to take on new challenges and grow your Small Business? Maybe hiring a consultant will do the trick – someone to evaluate your team from the outside and offer an unbiased opinion and tips to shake things up.

Should you encourage your employees to go out and “side-hustle” to make some extra cash and learn a new skill? We like this idea, but you need to be aware of the pros and cons of promoting outside work in your Small Business.
