Simple Sense for Small Business

Small Business Week Starts May 3rd. Are you ready?

Trophies are fun, but ya know what's better? The truth, especially when it comes to business survival stats. Good news, bad news time.

1 in 3 small business owners survive 10 years.
Good news: 80% of owners still feel optimistic about their future.
And 65.3% of small businesses are profitable RIGHT NOW.

So what lives between those numbers? CONSISTENCY.
Not luck. Not timing. Not a viral moment.

✅ Consistency on the hard days.
✅ Consistency when the economy is shaking.
✅ Consistency when the algorithm ignores you.
✅ Consistency when you're the only one who believes in it.

Small Business Week is not just a hashtag. It's a reminder that 34 million small businesses are the backbone of this country, and YOURS is one of them.

Watch, share, and tag a small business owner who needs this today.

Well, this is a kick in the head. I used a music clip made available by YOUTUBE and i got a copyright alert anyway. But wait, it gets better. When I disputed it, IT WAS REJECTED!! I submitted an APPEAL because this is absolute BS.

𝑬𝒎𝒑𝒍𝒐𝒚𝒆𝒆 𝒓𝒆𝒕𝒆𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒊𝒔 𝒂 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈. 𝑳𝒐𝒚𝒂𝒍𝒕𝒚 𝒊𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒈𝒐𝒂𝒍. BUT….right now, with everything folks are navigating out there, the real question is:
𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘣𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵'𝘴 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘩 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘰𝘳?

Your employees are watching how you treat them, in this economy, under this pressure. A retirement plan isn't a perk anymore. It's a statement.
It says: "𝑰 𝑨𝑴 𝒃𝒖𝒊𝒍𝒅𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒔𝒐𝒎𝒆𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒕𝒉 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒚𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒇𝒐𝒓."

We recorded this one in 2024, BEFORE.....
💸 Illegal Tariffs
🚢 Zigzagging trade policies
💵 Small business bankruptcies started climbing
🏦 Loan delinquencies hit multi-year highs

AND YET, everything we said in this glitch hits even harder today. Here's the uncomfortable truth: You won't be around forever, and neither will the conditions that built your business.

You can either CHOOSE how you exit, or it will be chosen FOR you.

And right now, for a lot of small business owners, that choice is being forced by circumstances nobody planned for:

✅ Inflation eating into margins
✅ Tariffs disrupting supply chains
✅ Unemployment uncertainty shaking consumer confidence
✅ A K-shaped economy where Wall Street thrives and Main Street gasps

Because your exit strategy doesn't have to be perfect. It just has to START.
❓How much do you need?
❓How much is enough?
❓What does one year look like?
❓What does three years look like?
❓What does five years look like?
❓Do you have potential buyers?
❓Is this a legacy play?
❓Are you cashing out to ride off into the sunset?

Whatever the answer, the time to figure it out is NOT when the decision is made for you. Voluntary beats involuntary every single day of the week.

You made a mistake. OR DID YOU? Here's the thing about the #BizGlitch366 project. Yes, it's about mistakes...in business. And they sting, because they're the ones that cost us $$ and can keep us up at night.

But um uh, Linda, some of the 𝑮𝑳𝑰𝑻𝑪𝑯𝑬𝑺 don't feel like mistakes; they look, sound, and feel like IDEAS. So what gives?

First, YOU'RE RIGHT. But here's what most people miss...
It's not just an idea. It's a BONUS idea wrapped INSIDE a mistake.

And if you don't unwrap it, you could be leaving the most valuable marketing intelligence of your business sitting on the table.

Because inside that "mistake" could be a/an:

✅ Gap in how you understand your ideal customer
✅ Blind spot in your target market
✅ Missing piece of your next best client
✅ Insight and hindsight to a robust marketing campaign that attracts the right people

The #BizGlitch366 project was built on one simple intention:

Mistakes are data.

And....IDEAS that started out as mistakes? That's GOLD.

Don't just fix the mistake
Don't just celebrate the idea
DO BOTH

Your next best client could be hiding in the glitch.

👇 Glitch #93 is just one of those ideas that evolved from a mistake: https://youtu.be/1rCCMT4B1X8

I've stopped the tarot readings for business owners and potential mistakes and oversights we know can happen. I kinda miss it, but not many folks seem to notice. Did you see any of the Glitch Tarot readings?

Simple Sense for Small Business

Yesterday, MILLIONS marched. Today, we spend with intention. The day AFTER #NoKingsDay (March 28th) is #MomAndPopShopDay (March 29th).

Coincidence? Some say there's no such thing.

We launched #BizGlitch366 in 2022. The battlefield hasn't changed, it's only gotten more lopsided. The reality in 2026:

✅ Wall Street profits? Relentless.
✅ Main Street? Gasping.
✅ 36 million small businesses strangled by high interest rates & trade chaos
✅ Bankruptcies climbing. Delinquencies rising.
✅ Private equity quietly rolling up everything, from fire trucks to youth sports

This isn't an accident. It's policy. Written for the uber-rich. By the uber-rich.
The antidote to an oligarchy? YOUR DOLLAR.

💵 #BuyLocal is economic resistance
💵 #EconomicBoycott starts at the register
💵 Mom & Pop shops ARE the #NoKings movement in commerce

The system is rigged. That's not a conspiracy, it's math.
What are YOU going to do about it TODAY?

📌 Shop local
