What a bottle of water can tell you about what you are worth? A bottle of water is worth this much: 1) $1 at the supermarket 2) $3 at the restaurant 3) $5 at the airport 4) $7 on a flight In other words, the same bottle of water is valued differently at different places! So, the next time you feel that you are not valued correctly, ask yourself this question: 𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞? #personaldevelopment #business #marketing #growth #value #creativity #ceoinsights

Feeling stuck with your business growth? Here are 3 ways to develop and diversify your business: 1. Look for additional revenue streams - at Mexi Bean Express we've recently started offering catering for corporate events, organising events, parties etc. 2. Try a different form of the same business - we've got different restaurant concepts for different locations, a food truck and a dark kitchen - all serve a purpose and all have different seasonality adding to the whole package. 3. Optimise your marketing strategy - focus on the channels that work and research what works in your niche. Move away from platforms that don't bring you transactions and aim for sales - not followers! #femalefounder #business #businessowner #womeninbusiness #businessdevelopment #growth #diversify #businesstips #uksmallbusiness #womenandmoney #restaurantbusiness #foodanddrinkindustry #mexicanfood #bossbabe #founderlife #motivation #successtips

🔥 These bars are 🔥. How Artie Bars build their small biz with Bitly If you can’t live like a millionaire, at least eat like one. Meet millionaire shortbread bakery, Artie Bars. The husband-and-wife duo of namesake Artie Januario and Nicole recently launched their small business in Raleigh, North Carolina, to bring sweet treats to the masses at local coffee shops, farmers’ markets and dessert festivals (drool). Without the budget of a millionaire, Artie Bars turned to Bitly’s Free Plan to get the word out about their small business. At least when said mouths aren’t full of delicious shortbread, caramel and chocolate (drools on keyboard again). They use Bitly QR Codes for sweets sales, swag, and social media shoutouts, plus the Bitly link-in-bio landing page to drive curious new fans to their most important destinations. Brands, big and small and just getting started, use Bitly because our Connections Platform scales to businesses of any size, from entrepreneurial to enterprise. --- Check out our special #NationalSmallBusinessWeek landing page for resources and other SMB success stories ---> https://lnkd.in/g4xHX5wg Get started for free with Bitly ---> https://bitly.is/Free

The Day a Local Bakery Became a Business Success Story I remember meeting a small bakery owner a few months ago who had a passion for baking but struggled to turn that into a thriving business. They had everything—a great product, loyal customers—but the sales were stagnant. Together, we dug into their operations and found small tweaks that made a big difference. We revamped their online presence, introduced e-commerce, and created a simple social media strategy. Today, that bakery is not only profitable but shipping treats across the city! Small businesses often just need the right guidance. It’s about listening, learning, and working together. #SmallBusinessSupport #BusinessGrowth #SuccessStory #EntrepreneurJourney #EcommerceSuccess
