Ep. 15: Defining your True Self with Guest Joanna Wilcox
March 27, 2019 06:00 - 29 minutes - 13.4 MBJoanna Wilcox, known on Instagram as @KetoinCanada, never intended to become a social media influencer. She started her profile a couple years ago when she took the plunge with a drastic lifestyle change: taking on the ketogenic diet. At the time, the diet wasn’t as popular as it is today. She credits some of her success to the diet’s increasing popularity. I’ve followed her for more than a year, and I can tell you it’s more than just a popular diet that gained her such a major following. ...

February 27, 2019 07:00 - 1 hour - 31.8 MBToday's episode was unique in several ways, especially because it was our first in-person interview for Success Defined.

February 13, 2019 21:00 - 16 minutes - 7.74 MBWho is your ideal customer? This is a question I ask any small business owner who is struggling to reach their audience. I get a lot of different answers to this question. Today we're going to really dive deep and discuss why it's so important that you are identifying your ideal customer. You need to know exactly who you're talking to. This should be one of the first steps in business.

Analyzing 2018 and our 2019 Forecast
January 17, 2019 15:00 - 15 minutes - 7.17 MBToday we are going to look at what worked in 2018 and what didn’t, and where we’re headed in 2019. I’m not sure I should admit this because I’m a huge goal setter, but I have no idea what my KRose Marketing 2018 Goals were. Overall, 2018 was a win, but there are a lot of things I would do differently. In 2018, we transitioned to more people in the office instead of employees working virtually. I love the idea of virtual employees and we still have some phenomenal virtual employees on the K...

An...
