A message in support of mental health for small business owners. #mentalhealthmonth
Is this you?
You sit at your desk, look at your list of client work and internal to-do’s and feel anxious about getting it all done.
A couple hours later in the midst of whatever you’re doing, your mind drifts and you start wondering “How am I going to grow my business in the next 3-5 years? How am I going to increase revenue and profits?”
You imagine a greater financial future. Impatience sets in and just like that you have lost an hour of your day daydreaming about what could be, while losing focus on what needs to get done today.
Anxiety, impatience and stress aren’t going to propel your business forward. In fact, it stunts your creativity.

Here are some examples of how past clients have pivoted in their business to generate more revenue and profits.
| Product System
A dance studio owner had to closed her studio before the pandemic and started designing a line of tights and leotards that matched the various skin tone of black and brown women. She continued selling the apparel line when the studio reopened. |
Customer Engagement
An online retailer selling vintage and modern hip hop gear generated more revenue by tailoring and redesigning shearling and leather coats (complementary service) and hosting film and entertainment related events in her showroom. |
| Channel
An interior designer primarily worked with architects on big home and commercial space projects. But she realized there was a market for homemakers who wanted support with their DIY home renovations. So she started offering virtual consultation services that included virtual shopping experiences to select furniture and accessory items.
|
Structure & Channel
An organic beauty brand primarily sold hair and skin care products to customers but they realized that the natural hair clients needed education on how to use their products with other ingredients and simply take care of their hair. So they created a series of tutorial videos and created an online community where customers and natural hair care enthusiasts shared results, hair care secrets and educated each other. |
