Tips For Your Small Business 💰 (Investing, Marketing & Hiring)

[@imjennim]

Shout out to all the small businesses who are pulling through these unknown times. I'd love to hear any lessons and tips you have about running your small business in the comments below!

[@quackmuckx]

😍👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

You'll never run out of excuses but you'll run out of time!

[@kidoongi3086]

Build a business that serves you. You need to feel nourished and fulfilled in the process for you to better serve your mission!

[@clarkandmama4894]

Definitely agree with you on that marketing does not need to be expensive. This I learned the hard way after dumping $10,000 into marketing services when I actually got more clients through my Instagram and email campaigns which were FREE! If there is anything to invest money into, it is a good accountant and lawyer. They can save your business and save you tons of money

[@Joycethedentist]

Hi Jen!! Do you have any social media tips for small business? I’m a dentist and own a small boutique practice. Is there someone that helps you with posting consistently on all your various platforms? Thank you!!

[@1808Tessa]

"Even if you don't hit your goals, it's okay because you put your actions into motion and that's progress." Ugh loved that. ❤️Absolutely needed to hear it.

[@imjennim]

Yess a step forward is a step closer.

[@BCoolAnimations]

I always say, that one small step every day will become a big walk at the end of the month....so as long as you keep giving that small step every day, will get you closer to your destination

[@SophiaXuOfficial]

YESS THIS VIDEO IS SO POWERFUL we stan a businesswoman who actually shares information with her fans so we can all become as successful as her

[@JhennipherBarbara]

thats why we love her :)

[@imjennim]

Aww thanks Sophia! I love sharing any knowledge I learn and passing it to any viewers who are open to listening to it.

I've learned that when it comes to employees/coworkers, more than just "smart" people, you need people who are willing to learn and receptive to feedback. No matter how smart someone is, if they are stubborn and only want to do things their own, it makes it incredibly difficult to train them in the first place and almost impossible to work with in the future. I worked with someone who graduated from Columbia and I had to train her because I had seniority. She would NOT listen to anything I or anyone else told her because she had this mindset that she was better than everyone else but tbh, we all ended up in the same place so...

[@leelsbless]

I don’t currently have a business but I dabble with the thought of it every once in a while. Love the tips!!

[@Nabeelahify]

Lol.Same...

[@tellyourstoryIII]

Small Businesses build together

[@soojinkila]

Your innate desire to help others is so heartwarming and inspiring! ✨

[@SamElle]

i work at a startup so this is SUPER useful!! We are a very lean team (total of 5 people) and it's always juggling A MILLION THINGS!!! Adaptation is SO SO important and have to know how to address various curveballs that get thrown at us! I think anyone who wants to get into the startup world definitely has to learn that

Love you! ❤️❤️ Ur my fav! I just discovered u a month ago and I’m obsessed

[@miiyukiiii]

woah... i'm actually speechless... just yesterday i was wondering whether i should email jenn and ask her for tips and advice because i want to start my own clothing line in the hopes that it will be just as successful as eggie one day and today you posted this video. thank you a lot for this, jenn!! this is truly exactly what i needed!! 💖💖

[@Moonshinevlogs]

I am planning to do my own business. so I started my youtube channel to get more recognizable first. listening to your tips seen in other videos like becoming the boss, building your brands your entrepreneur fail video, that's all pump me up. I have watched those videos more than twice at least and some may be more than 10 times. I have learnt a lot from your videos wheater it's cooking or chatting, vlogging, running, exercise. thank you, Jenn.

[@minhaleel]

Omg I JUST opened an etsy shop of printable planners. As a med student and content creator it was inspired by a video I wanted to do about time management because I didn't want to just say tips and tricks but wanted to give my viewers a useful tool that they could use ... and ended up making a business from it lol

[@glamboss16]

The little tidbits about your personal process are GOLD!!! (specific examples: the 3 month trial run + performance review and the monthly analytics review) Please please do more videos about productivity and managing your work - as a fellow business owner, I find it inspiring and helpful and really fitting because as an OG follower it feels like we've grown and evolved together and serious work + self development + food + fashion is all just different aspects of our lives ❤️❤️❤️

[@aidasark3771]

Yes girl I've been making money but putting it all back in to the business looking forward to see what happens in a year

[@GrowWithWill]

So so important to reflect. Too often people don’t do this and if they did it more, they’d 10x their outcomes. Thank you for the 10:07 reminder!

[@sarahly8341]

I honestly this has been my favorite introduction in successfully marketing, and growing small business video I've watched up to date. (Aside from my love for Jenn's work that is. ) I appreciate how well she broke it all down and how transparent it was. Keep the goods coming Jenn!

[@imjennim]

Ahh that makes me so happy! I tried to be as clear as possible. n_n

[@TaraWagner]

Yes!! This is great!! The marketing you’re doing now keeps you busy six months from now. Find that consistent marketing pace, that consistent marketing plan. And protect it at all costs so that you can make sure you stay busy down the road.

[@tvnet222]

Being in business school right now, your point on referencing concrete points during performance reviews is CRITICAL. You can't afford to dance around issues when it comes to work. The only thing I would add is positive affirmation throughout is key as well. Creates a positive work environment and motivates workers more than a three month dopamine hit

[@sophiachang]

YES BOSS LADY!!!!! love these tips!!!

[@imjennim]

Eee, right back atcha, Boss ;)

[@julzamidala2865]

Many small business people (and accountants unfortunately) think accounting is just for taxes but they can show you so much more about your business if you set them up thoughtfully. Accounting reveals the secret code to your business if you're paying attention.

[@seeannuhh]

I love this video. I’ve worked for our small business for almost 7 years and everything you said is true, especially the trial period and the receipts! As a manager, I think one of the hardest things for small businesses is that you may be afraid to let people go because you need the manpower. But if a person doesn’t align to your core values and is toxic or difficult to rein in, it doesn’t matter how productive or smart they are. They’re just not a healthy addition to your team. I’ve learned it the hard way and realizing this has made it much easier to deal with certain situations. I’ve also come to realize that growing pains for a small business can have repercussions if you hire too many too quickly. I know you have a pretty established brand at this point, especially with a core viewership, but make sure to scale and grow within reasonable limits! When a small team is stretched far on new initiatives or training new members, it can cause burnout, tension, resentment, etc. I hope this is helpful! I love your videos and wish you tons of success! You’re doing amazing and I love seeing how you’re growing over the years!

[@pfyangs]

WOW JENN! I’m obsessed with this. I love how the last 2 videos have been different than your normal videos but in the best way possible! I love these tips and hope I can execute with the same composure you do 💙

[@webgirl]

“Books are my mentor” meant a lot to me. Thanks for this tip.

[@uevuekan]

You're so inspiring Jenn! Definition of a humble, powerful, graceful, and talented boss woman. Thanks for inspiring me to also pursue fashion and my dreams as a content creator ❤

[@zadianovita6301]

i am doing a small business with my sister too, and doing something professional with family is challenging when it comes to decision making and job desc.

[@theofficialblob]

Haha I can definitely relate. It’s difficult to compromise when you’re too comfortable with each other 😅😅

[@ngochuong3196]

Hello Jenn, this is totally a helpful video for young people like me to have a slight glance of how to run a small business step by step. I hope to see you share some more business experiences like this in the futute. Love you 💕

[@HanaLee93]

OOOH I LOVE THIS VIDEO! so nice you share your knowledge 🥺

[@ilianapyt]

oh my.. my favourite youtuber commenting my other fav youtuber 🥺

[@hatti.williams]

Love this video! I recently set up my own digital marketing agency and similar to you I like to call books my mentors.They are the best way to absorb and download all the knowledge and lessons that successful business people have generated over years of their life. Investing in yourself and in your education is the best investment you will ever make in business - be it a course or a book - I have always and will forever continue to invest in mine and my team's education. Keep up the amazing work! Side note - I'm loving the book club and the food videos! Two great new editions to your portfolio! Stay safe & much love, Hatti x

[@j33heyk]

Jenn! Long time fan here. This is the most awesome video you've put out lately. Love the value that it offers and I love hearing your input on these types of topics. I look up to you. Please keep it up!

[@cakt410]

"i am SUPER type A... ... oh my god shocker 🙄" cracked me up LOL i stan a virgo!!

[@imjennim]

SURPRISE!

[@GrowWithWill]

Love the tip on doing a performance review. Holding yourself accountable and your business accountable is crucial to growth long-term.

[@BusinessBasics]

Agree with education and keeping yourself up to date. Industries are constantly adapting, adopting new technology, so frequently conducting market research and improving yourself will boast great returns for your small business. Thanks for sharing!

[@naomixiaomi]

I loved how real and specific this video was! I also love watching your What I Eat in a Week videos and even though I’m not going anywhere in quarantine would love to see more styling videos! ☺️

[@pio915]

You never cease to amaze me. You are so well spoken and knowledgeable, and I love that about you!

[@JhennipherBarbara]

waaay back in the day ( like when you were clothes encounters with Sarah) you inspired me to start a channel. But i would start and it was nerve-wracking to me that i would give up! but i finally got the courage to start and stick with it. I love this video, these tips are super helpful 💗

[@MarielenaBravo]

Jenn is such an inspiration! I got the chance to meet her in 2016 and got a pic with her and she was just as sweet as her videos! She was the one who inspired me to start my own channel! Much love, Jenn!!!! ❤️

[@AshleyBroughton-og2zp]

I started my own business this month and I am meeting with my first client today. I’ve been I have been listening to Jim Rohn for a while now, but this video is so on time for me! I am definitely going to implement the 70, 10, 10 with my very first transaction. I am grateful to you Mr. Rohn, you definitely left your mark on this world! Thanks to you I have a plan and I feel more confident in the area of money.

[@SharonD.Spiker]

That is so amazing, I’m trying to get onto the housing ladder at 40. I wish at 55 I will be testifying to similar success.|

[@AshleyBroughton-og2zp]

The quickest way to make your first millions is to invest directly with an expert that is trustworthy and has made a name and individual billionaires

[@AshleyBroughton-og2zp]

Whichever firm you select, make sure you get your insurance from a reputable financial adviser, such as *STEPHANIE KOPP MEEKS,* who has dedicated her career to financial planning. Because they will assist you in escalating, navigating better, and completing the task in a safer manner..|.

[@boo5613]

Thank you thank you thank you!!! As employees, always appreciate bosses/ supervisors who provide clear and concise feedback, good or bad, so we know what area we can strengthen or work on. ❤️

[@lyviaray8819]

I love your advice to use books as your own personal mentor! I find that it is extremely helpful to find someone within your field that you admire and research how they became successful. Then apply as many of those steps as you can!!

This tells us that we are never too young or too old to share and bring value to others. When I was young, I always thought I was too young to give value and though in my 30s, I sometimes still feel that way.
