We're SO excited about today's guest. We met him at TTT this year, got to hang out on boats and have a heck of a lot of fun. Kevin Basham is an entrepreneur who's co-founded a 7 figure recycling business from the ground up. He managed to do this with no money, little experience and making lots of mistakes along the way. Growing up he had little confidence; no idea that all this was possible. His vision is to help the next generation of up and coming entrepreneurs and business leaders, to share his story so others can see anything really is possible. It is our pleasure to welcome our very good friend Kevin Basham to #MerryBiz! Some questions we ask..... How did it all began for you? And how you ended up doing, what you're doing now? How did bullying impact you? What do you think is the biggest lesson you've learned throughout your entire journey? What's it like to find your passion?    "When you want to succeed as bad as you want to breathe, then you'll be successful." (via Eric Thomas)   Some AHA!! Moments

Today on the #MerryBiz podcast we're like SUPER dooper excited to talk about optins.  When we first started our business/blog we had no idea that we 'should be' collecting email addresses. You know we're not big on 'should be's' but collecting email addresses is definitely a YES when it comes to running any business. Yep, we don't think email newsletters are JUST for online business. If you have a brick and mortar business, sell products, services whatever it is you do (or plan to do)... collecting email addresses is a GOOD idea. From the get go. Like if you just started a blog... collect. Collect. Collect! Once you have email addresses you can send AMAZING email newsletters to these people. This allows your audience to get to know you better, you can build trust and you can provide your audience with SO much value that you'll blow them away and they'll love you forever and ever. #truestory Writing emails to your audience feels that little more special because they've said YES to you!
