We talk about all sorts (not the licorice type) on A Funny Thing Called Business and it always surprises me what I learn about my fellow podcasters...

What's the most weird and wonderful thing you track in your business using a spreadsheet?

If you listen out for Pete's intro at the start of the podcast episode you can hear all the radio training in just those few words!

If there's a special celebration happening; Christmas, Easter, Halloween home is always ready for it! So this weeks recording of A Funny Thing Called Business podcast episode was set amongst pumpkins and candles.

This month , , Pete and I chatted about 'How to Uplevel Your Business' - one thing that came out was a theme amongst us that it took us all 3 years to take ourselves seriously as business owners. Is this the same for you - is the 3 year mark a thing?

You've just gotta have faith...famous words from a brilliant singer.

And all too true in business as well.

This month's podcast, A Funny Thing Called Business, episode was all about 'When Profits are down what do you do?'

Not a subject business owners talk about, and rarely in an open forum like a podcast.

, , and lshared the good, the bad and the downright ugly!

But FAITH is such an important feeling to keep hold of when times are tough.

When the struggle to pay your teams wages is real and the endless subscriptions just keep on debiting your bank account, faith that it'll turn around...

So, real talk, what do you focus on when profits are down?

(Listen in to the whole episode where you find your podcasts).

When profits are down in your business what do you do?

If you're still passionate about your business and there's still a market for your services...

#1 Tweak how you talk about your services and how you market

Or...

There's always Only Fans! This month's podcast, A Funny Thing Called Business, episode was all about 'When Profits are down what do you do?' But as found out the hard way that wasn't a quick win either! 😉

PS Pete - loved seeing the name of the clip coming through as Profit_onlyfans_
