  • You're burning through money on bad advertising [Things to avoid, and things to do instead]
    Apr 24 2024

    When we consult with small businesses, 9 out of 10 times they are wasting money on bad advertising strategies, or they aren't advertising at all because they tried and failed in the past.

    And it's REALLY easy to try a Google Ad or Facebook Ad campaign and get everytihng wrong to the point where a good company with regular income is just throwing away $500-$1000 a month they may have to spend but is generating zero ROI.

    In this episode, Brian and Patrick take the time to talk about the major ways small (and larger) companies are wasting money on bad ad spend.

    And if you stick around to the end, you'll have a better understanding of how to spend your money in a more efficient way.

  • 3 Steps to a Successful Side Hustle [Preview - It's like starting a businesss]
    Apr 10 2024

    A wise man once said: "It’s easy to sit there and say you’d like to have more money. And I guess that’s what I like about it. It’s easy. Just sitting there, rocking back and forth, wanting that money."

    That's kinda what I think is giong on in a lot of entrepreneur's heads when they decide they want to start a side hustle.

    They see the result, a steady stream of income from efforts that don't require as much time as a full time job. But besides that?

    Well I don't want to spoil the discussion.

    The side hustle we discuss in here happens to be one of the coolest brands in Rhode Island (I know, Rhode Island, but I swear...).

    Before starting Rhode Island Original, Terry Rajsombath was fighting for our country. And we're thankful that Terry wasn't busy doing an Ultra Triathlon, and wasn't serving the guard in Kosovo when we asked him to stop by and talk about his experience building his lifestlye clothing brand.

    Enjoy the discussion and check out Rhode Island Original here: https://www.instagram.com/rhodeisland...
