This week I want to talk about how complacency can kill your business (or at least hurt it). I run a personal chef business, and have been doing it for 11 years now. When I started out doing it on the side, I was a little scrappy. I did guerrilla marketing. I did a lot of networking. I was regularly sending out my email newsletter. As my business and customer base grew, I slowed down on some of those tactics.
Fast forward to this summer...business kind of sucks, and I realized that I hadn't been paying attention. I'd become comfortable, and complacent. It could have taken me out of the game completely. So I wanted to share this mini, solo podcast as a cautionary tale, because it's important for me to share my failures in addition to my successes (maybe even more so).
