Bragging Rights for Small Business

We all know that bragging rights are extremely important for small businesses. But according to a new survey, the key is in networking and engaging with local communities. The study found that 81% of millennials think it’s not enough just to have an online presence anymore. They want their social media profiles linked up with brick-and-mortar locations so they can feel more connected than ever before.,

The “texas governor small business” is a term that refers to the size of a company. It is used in the United States, Canada, and other countries. Texas has had an economy with lots of large businesses for a long time now.

I was waiting in line at the grocery store the other day when I overheard a guy and a lady having a discussion that went something like this:

“Yeah, I lift around 1,000 pounds a week…” says the big muscular guy, pushing up his chest a bit.

“Oh my, that’s a lot of weight,” the lady exclaimed, but not wanting to be out-gymmed, she casually added, “I do 4 12 miles on the elliptical five days a week… ”

That discussion sparked some thought in me. We like boasting about our achievements, and some individuals go to great lengths to bore others with unending tales of self-aggrandizement, bragging about what they have or what they’ve done. But, for the most part, we just work hard to attain our objectives, and it feels wonderful to share our accomplishments.

Yes, we, as people – as human beings – like braggadocio from time to time. Small company entrepreneurs, on the other hand, seldom boast about their professional accomplishments. I’d love to go in a networking gathering and hear a fellow solopreneur exclaim, “I received 10 new leads last week and converted eight of them,” with his chest puffed out. “Oh yes, well, I have a 95 percent client retention rate,” says another. And a third boldly proclaims, “My average sale jumped 50% last year!”

Why don’t we listen to and participate in discussions like this? For crying out loud, we’re business owners! We must be outspoken and proud! Haven’t we worked our butts off to earn the right to brag? Why don’t we speak more about these issues? Is it possible that we don’t have anything to boast about? Is it because we don’t establish objectives or track our progress, so we have no clue what we’re doing – or whether we’re doing anything at all?

As a small company owner, understanding where you began, where you are now, and where you intend to go is crucial to gaining bragging rights.

Mr. Grocery Store is a man who owns a grocery store. Iron Man didn’t simply go into the gym and start lifting 1,000 pounds one week. And I’m quite sure his buddy didn’t run 4 miles on the elliptical for the first time. How can you know what success looks like if you don’t have a starting point? And how can you share success with others if you don’t know what it looks like? So start establishing objectives and keeping track of your progress. I’d want to hear you boast!!!
