Welcome to Season 3
Our goal with Simply Reliable’s smartPRENEUR Blog and Podcast is simple really. We want to provide actionable ideas to help you improve your business. We recognize that you have limited time. So the smartPRENEUR Blogs are designed to provide 2-3 ideas that can be read in about 3-5 minutes. Likewise The smartPRENEUR Podcast is designed to go more in-depth and add to these ideas in a 10-20 minute session, short enough to consume on the way to a job site, on the way home, or first thing in the morning on your way to the office.
In February 2022, Simply Reliable added a podcast to the smartPRENEUR platform. In the last year the smartPRENEUR Podcast has reached over 5500 downloads (Audio only) in addition to the views on our Simply Reliable Podcast page and our YouTube channel. Thank you so much for allowing us to bring this great content and learnings from our incredible smartPRENEUR Guest Faculty.
What’s it all about?
Our goal is to provide insight into every facet of business. As a group each faculty member has their special talent or interest. This year we’ll discuss how to get PR for your company, how to implement work flows, developing the culture of a company, how best to market to your audience, back office solutions to bring your team together, what KPI’s are important, as well as management and sales information. Tying these together presents a free master class in business written by successful entrepreneurs who lived it and want to share what they have learned with you.
