The Pony Up Predicament
11/09/21 • 6 min
What’s In This Episode:
Why do companies agree to pay us and then try to back out of it when it’s too late?
Small businesses are taken advantage of all the time. There’s a whole host of reasons that companies decide they don’t need to pony up and the loss falls squarely onto YOU...the entrepreneur that has more to lose than they do. It’s unfair, uncalled for, and something that we may have more power in undoing than we realize.
Jill Salzman turns the mundane into inspiration and transforms the impossible into the achievable. Through defying expectations and breaking the rules, she succeeds in inspiring entrepreneurs to figure out what works for them by using meaningful action to create positive results. Jill is the author of The Best Business Book In The World* (according to my mom) and the Amazon best-seller, Found It: A Field Guide for Mom Entrepreneurs. She’s shared the speaker stage with Richard Branson, Sheryl Sandberg, Daymond John, Marilu Henner, and Desmond Tutu among others, and professed her love of Eddie Vedder in her TEDx talk on 11/11/11. She hosts the top-rated entertaining business podcast, Why Are We Shouting?, a question she asks herself daily. CNNMoney calls her a “mommy mogul.” MSN Live says she’s a “Cool Mom Entrepreneur We Love.” Forbes rated her a Top 100 Champion Small Business Influencer and voted The Founding Moms one of the Top 10 Websites For Entrepreneurs. When she's not speaking to audiences in patterned leggings or podcasting from her basement, she fruitlessly tries to convince her daughters that cassette tapes actually existed.

The Backfiring Mantra
What’s In This Episode:
How often do you think about how you do the things you do to run your business?
We don’t often take a close, hard look at how we run our businesses. Maybe some things used to go well. Perhaps a couple of things might be popping right now. But is everything working exactly the way it should, or are you continuing to run your business the way you’ve always done it?
