Your Biz Your Town
Your Biz Your Town

We hope you had a chance to tune into #YourBizYourTown this morning as Shelley Irwin and myself welcomed Five Star Real Estate and Eastown Veterinary Clinic.
Jimmy stopped in as well to represent senior dogs. We think he is getting a little too used to the limelight (he asked for an appearance fee).
As you know, our favorite subject is dogs and dogs…oh and wine. We also stalk real estate like it is our job, I mean who doesn’t go on grar.com and search for your dream home? Our friends at Five Star Real Estate are pretty cool and West Michigan’s leading real estate company.
Here are some cool things you didn’t know about Five Star.

  • They opened five additional locations in Caledonia, Muskegon, Kalamazoo, Big Rapids and Grand Rapids East Beltline to meet needs.
  • They are hosting meet and greet events in all new locations and are looking to hire additional agents – great opportunity for those wanted to get into real estate.
  • They provide the tools and systems required for success without a lot of excess, levels of bureaucracy or expenses that are so common.

Want to find out more? Check them out at www.fivestarleaders.com and www.fivestarmichigan.com.

Jimmy is a radio star.

Jimmy would like to introduce you to one of his favorite people, Dr. Ashley Tittle of Eastown Veterinary Clinic. This place is hip, cool and offers a full range of services for your furry family member. Jimmy’s favorite service is of course their wellness and preventative care as well as their senior care.
A senior exam includes more questions about your pet’s life to identify early indicators of disease.  There will be more discussion about abnormal findings and recommendations on how to keep your senior pet feeling their best.
To get your pet in to see one of the amazing vets at Eastown, go to www.eastownvet.com. Let them know 834 referred you (we get a sweet discount if you do).

Something on Your Mind?

If you ever need proof that personal brand matters...Kim got to see the @nasaartemis II launch in person as a direct result of her Big Deal Energyâ„¢. 

You need to work hard, show up authentically, and provide value. That was her message to a room full of students and young professionals at @western_michigan_pmi's theProject Collegiate Competition. 

The Big Deal Energyâ„¢ Workshop is on June 23. Register at the link in bio.
Employers think Gen Z is lazy, entitled, and will quit the second things get hard. That perception is keeping you out of the room before you ever get a chance to prove otherwise.

The good news is, you can flip the script, but it will take some serious work and a personal brand, or as Kim Bode refers to it: Big Deal Energyâ„¢.

Kim is speaking at theProjectâ„¢ Collegiate Event, hosted by the Project Management Institute Western Michigan Chapter on April 14. She'll cover how to build a personal brand that actually sounds like you (not ChatGPT) and how you can show your value through social, content and networking.

No one talks about how lonely it is to own a business. The tough decisions land on you, the business doesn't pause when you need a break, and nobody - not your employees or your spouse - really gets it. 

If you know a business owner, tell them they're doing a good job. It matters more than you know.
The growth stage is the hardest part of building a business. 

Kim was recently quoted in @corpmagazine on what she sees running the Women's Entrepreneurial Fellowship: women who have built something, survived the hardest part, and are still doing everything themselves. The natural tendency to be humble and attached to their work creates unique business challenges for women; they put up walls because they can't be vulnerable. 

Meanwhile, when a woman CEO needs growth capital, she compiles three years of tax returns before a bank will schedule a meeting, while her male competitor closes the same deal over drinks.

When women have access to the right resources, they grow and invest back. Full article at the link in bio.
