[Podcast Special] An Interview with Anita Campbell
Posted on | December 28, 2009 | 5 Comments
Weekly microbusiness news podcast
Well, here’s something completely different.
Keeping in mind my prediction that I’d have a couple of podcast specials to offer before the end of the year, last week I webcast an audio version of the Microbusiness manifesto that I published here earlier this month.
But I decided to take a break from complaining about politicians for this final podcast of the year and turn instead to the much more pleasant task of talking about ways and means to spot opportunity that are accessible to the typical microbusiness owner.
And, really, what could be more accessible than watching and listening to our customers. If we have any sense at all, we’re doing that anyway, aren’t we?
I’m talking about turning our hands to trend-watching, a topic about which I had a fun and informative conversation with my good friend, Anita Campbell.
Anita offers us tips on
- how do you spot trends and what can you do about them?
- how early is “too early” to take advantage of new trends?
- what’s the window of opportunity between “fad” and “trend” and “mainstream”?
- … and much, much more!
Give a listen. What with all the planning that is going on among small business owners along about now (or should be), it’s a timely topic.
