The Small Business Big Marketing Podcast with Tim Reid

Australia's best-selling small business, Andrew Griffiths, joins me for another episode of Funny Business. This time we’re keeping it upbeat with the theme of celebration. Andrew shares his insights into the importance of celebrating business milestones, of being proud of everything you do in work, and of celebrating your customer relationships. Plus, we give you some tips on how to avoid becoming isolated in business, and how to switch off from work when your phone won’t stop buzzing. So, let’s get into it! Oh, and there's a little nudity thrown in for good measure ;0) The post 184 – Celebrating business milestones, switching off, business isolation and a touch of nudity. appeared first on Small Business Big Marketing.Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/marketingpodcastSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
