How I Became SmallBizLady

View descriptionShare

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.

I’m the CEO of the blog Succeed As Your Own Boss, where I’ve published more than 5,000 articles about how to start and grow a business. I’m also CEO of Quintessence Group and the author of multiple bestselling business books including Become Your Own Boss in 12 Months, How To Become a Social Media Ninja, and my latest book: Fix Your Business. I’ve been a thriving entrepreneur for over two decades by developing marketing strategies and influencer marketing programs for Fortune 500 brands who target small business owners such as VISA, Chase, FedEx, American Express, and Staples.

 

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.
