John Porter, The Barter Coach™’s Post

Business lately feels like it's BP and AP - Before Pandemic and After Pandemic! My business is no different. When I started bartering in #Regina, things were booming here - LITERALLY! Housing boom, construction boom, strong government incentives for energy grants and housing upgrades. Businesses were flourishing. People and businesses were healthy, and that was great for a new concept like organized #barter. Nowadays in AP times, bartering is almost becoming essential form of sales and marketing for my clients. I'm going back to my roots, and back to my core business pitch which is that bartering saves money, *when you do it properly*. I've witnessed businesses barter SO much that they harm their cash flow. I've watched businesses SO scared to barter that they harm their cash flow. Right now, I'm looking for any business that has any "waste" or inefficiency. If we can find a way to barter that expiring time or product and turn it into BarterCredits™ that retain their value, that's hundreds of thousands of dollars of "waste" that we can capture and retain as an asset for our members.

Taking a moment to “press pause" is a vital aspect of entrepreneurship that's often overlooked amidst hectic schedules. While it may appear counterintuitive during busy or stressful periods, this pause is an essential act of self-care. Prioritizing your mental well-being is crucial for running a business. Therefore, remember to carve out time in your busy day to rejuvenate and engage in activities that promote inner peace. By honouring this need for respite, you will equip yourself to give your all to your business endeavours every day. #RiseHelps #Entrepreneurship #MentalHealth #EndTheStigma #SmallBusiness #NonProfit #BusinessTraining #Loans #MicroLoans
