Here at Food Markies, we care about local food businesses, and we believe that the future survival of these businesses rests in working and collaborating with other small businesses rather than in opposition or competition. While some believe that the competitive mindset will bring success and domination in a market, we believe no small business can offer everything to every customer. This is why we maintain that when groups of businesses work together to meet the individual customer’s needs, they will gain a collective advantage. At Food Markies, many of the businesses on our online marketplace have a similar viewpoint. Charmaine from A Touch of Charm, a small home business, is growing her small business by collaborating with the competition. Click https://lnkd.in/dcsep5-a, to read her story.

Every chapter in our lives has incredible impact on who we become, both past and present. The Klein Brothers (& my amazing mentor, Dorothy Moores) sure made an pivotal impact for me. As the weather shifts and the cool sets in, no better way to warm up than with an old favorite from the KleinBank cookbook. If you still have the 2006 cookbook, I highly recommend the lasagna on Page 94; submitted by Bonnie Oien! #gratefulheart #pastcreatesfuture #growthmindset

You've heard of YOLO (you only live once) but sometimes YOLO can cause needless spending. Welcome back to Stephanie's bookshelf and today she is sharing You Only Live Once: The Roadmap to Financial Wellness by Jason Vitug. This book turns YOLO on its head and instead of using it to burn money, use it to get to know your values and spend money intentionally. We think this is a great lesson for us all at any age. Make sure to grab your copy online or even at your local library! #moneymindset #financialfreedom #financialadvisor #booklover

In 2023 I sent a total of 66 books to people I met with. I can barely believe it myself, but I just counted my orders.  Here's the breakdown of books I sent, with the number of times I bought and sent each one to people. *38 X: The Go Giver (Bob Burg and John David Mann) *9 X: Rocket Fuel (Gino Wickman, Mark C. Winters) *8 X: Effortless (Greg McKeown) *6 X: Essentialism (Greg McKeown) *4 X: Dual Transformation (Scott D. Anthony., Clark G. Gilbert, Mark W. Johnson) Why do I buy people books? 💪 It's how I try to bring life-changing progress and blessing. As Greg McKeown has said, reading is one of the highest leverage activities you can undertake. 💪 It helps me create deeper connections with people. When we can geek out together over a book, it brings us closer together. 💪 Buying a book is like buying someone a lottery ticket, except better odds. You can turn $15 into $15,000 or even $15,000,000 in value with the right book, if you hit the jackpot. Reading "The Go Giver" was that "jackpot" experience for me. I executed those principles faithfully for a year, and returns have dwarfed my investment. What was a book that felt like a "jackpot" for you? #connection #knowthyself #bookclub #bookclubs #professionaldevelopment

Kicking off Small Business Week with a reminder of WHY it's essential to shop small! Keeping dollars in the local economy is one of the most impactful ways we can strengthen our community.
