On this episode of Business Insanity Talk Radio, we first talk about mobile devices. More people will view your website and store on a mobile device than a desktop. So why are small business owners having such an issue adapting to mobile? We’ll give you a mobile technology guide to follow. Next, there is a lot of junk that stands between you and your business success and most that junk it actually inside your own head. We are going to show how to get past all that negative emotion and not let it stand in the way of your success. Then, we all know that a lot of people hate working with lawyers; it’s expensive, time-consuming and it’s difficult to find the right one. We will visit with a founder of a new app that is going to revolutionize this area. After, we will explore the changing role of the bookkeeper and accountant in your business, and how they are uniquely positioned to help your company become more profitable. Finally, we’ll speak with the founder of “the world’s first functional beach bag” about her successful crowdfunding campaign.
