ISSUE TEASER:

Have you been comparing yourself to others through social media? You're not alone, and Brian Sauls advises you that it's time to turn your focus elsewhere. It may be easy to make your life look perfect on Instagram or Facebook, but once you refocus on what's more meaningful, like getting to work by gaining clients. No matter how much effort you put into social media, it isn't what will pay the bills.

Why isn't your phone ringing off the hook? Jim DuBois shares some insight. "How to "Really" Get the Phones Ringing" declares that you should make it your company's mission to keep that phone ringing consistently. Using methods such as email blasts, text messages, voice mails, and taking advantage of walk-ins if you've got an office storefront can get you the leads you've been missing.

Austin Grubbs knows it can be scary to make the leap and hire a new employee, but you can't build your company or brand without them. Taking baby steps while already having a principal, dedicated operations manager can help you focus on interviewing and hiring. You may go through 40 interviews before finding the person you are looking for. "Just keep your head up and don't settle; you know what you are looking for."
