Establishing and running your own small business is exciting. Selecting the products and services you want to offer, branding your company, getting customers, and getting paid, it’s all great! Then the drudgery of running the business sets in, never having enough time, trying to keep up with various compliance requirements, letting employees go, having difficulty collecting receipts, and the like. You ask yourself, “What was I thinking?” but deep down you really love what you do and want to do it better.

Time Out for Small Business will help you take time out every Wednesday at 4 PM Pacific Time on VoiceAmerica Business to address your areas of concern and provide you with advice and resources to transform, grow, and protect your business. You’ll even renew the joy you had when you first began! Your host, Joan Shumaker, has been running her own small business since 1989 and daily provides consulting services for small businesses in a wide variety of industries.
