Carina Tenaglia’s Post

I own a small business. Two of them actually. My wife owns one as well. I get really tired of seeing marketing and ads telling me I should “shop small” simply because it’s the right thing to do. Or businesses that try to encourage me to shop their for no other reason than “we should support small business”. I love small businesses. Small businesses almost always offer better service and a better experience. They earn our business because they do a better job. If a business does that I will be a customer. But it is not my job to shop at small businesses. Nor is it my duty. It is the businesses’ job to provide a good enough product or experience that I want to shop there.

These are the faces of the Kind Business Club. Every single one of these faces represents a: 🧡Passion 🧡Life 🧡Career 🧡Family 🧡Unique set of hopes and dreams They each represent a small business. Small businesses are the lifeblood of not just our economy, but our lives and communities too. Yesterday we showed you the face of a small business owner called Christine, who lives in a town where small businesses like hers are closing every day. If you’re ready to say boll*cks to people like Christine and the awesome group in our Kind Business club, having to give up their passion to close their small business, then it’s time to show them your support. You can: ✅Check out our Kind Business directory and source your next gift or purchase from a small, kind business: https://lnkd.in/edkMrzKv ✅Leave your favourite local business a review, and tell them why you love them so much. ✅Spread the word, tell your friends and family about the small businesses that you love by sharing their content.

🧠💸 THINK BEFORE YOU BUY 🧠💸 @smallbizsatuk We are in full support of Small Business Saturday. It would be great if today, everyone took a second to look down their Christmas list requirements and think about where they buy them. 🖥 Can that TV for little Spencer's bedroom be purchased from a small business? 👗 Can that dress for Ava be purchased from a small business? 🤹♂️ That silly gift for your Uncle Pete, could that be purchased at a small business? ✅ The answer WILL be yes. So why not take the time today to support local. The excuse of using a larger retailers for next day delivery shouldn't be a hurdle. You have plenty of time and most small businesses will still be able to get these presents to you in 3-5 working days.

We all know that the excuses stopping people today, from starting up their own business offline, is lack of capital, no physical shop, no customers, difficulty in finding/having customers, and no products of their own. Well, all these are no longer a hindrance. I started up my business without any capital, no existing customers, no shop, no products of my own and made 80k in just 10days, on my first sales. I can teach you how to become a business owner and make money too, even if you don't have all of these. Pre-order my book "80k in 10days" to get started https://lnkd.in/dUGdnrnD
