Small Town Business with Erika McInerney

It’s very hard to run your own business without involving your family. This episode gives you five thought-starters to help get you working better together in your family business.

Show Notes

There’s a lot that can be said about family when it comes to business, especially small business. It’s very hard to run your own business without involving your family - whether directly or indirectly. Setting boundaries and having clear intentions can all get a little blurred when you don’t have that distinction between work and home…I should know.

This episode gives you five thought-starters to help get you working better together in your family business. I hope it helps you!

In this episode I mentioned Google Keep, it’s free and super easy to use.

I also read an email from a listener - Shelby - and suggested she (and anyone else) check out Real Bread by George’s online Sourdough Made Easy course;  I’m forever grateful to Georgie for teaching me how to make bread.

Thanks for listening!

What is Small Town Business with Erika McInerney?

Small Town Business shines a light on people making big things happen in small towns, regional and rural communities.

Each episode is in two-parts. In Part one, we chat with a small-town business owner, hand picked because they have a particularly special story to tell. They generously share the ups and downs and all the in-betweens of their business, before part two where I draw out one of the key points of the discussion into a specific learning with a focus on marketing and business development.

Follow along for inspiring stories from community-driven, authentic people. Then let Erika McInerney - that’s me your host - teach you how you can take that inspiration and turn into into action for your business.

Whether you’re already living in a small town, thinking of moving, or wondering what business is like outside the city - this podcast is for you.
