THE BATTLE OF THE AGES

This episode's theme is about the various generations competing against each other. As seasoned business owners see younger, 30-somethings entering their local space as competition that use social media and e-commerce with much effort or cost, many have been left wondering if they can compete. Many don't realize that they still have the advantage of experience and if they're able to surround themselves with those younger generations through their employee base and/or collaborations and strategic partnerships, they could create a DEFINITE competitive advantage.

With all that said, the older generations may not be able to build a website or e-commerce platform overnight by themselves, it may cost $6,000 to have someone do it over several months. So the #1 resource I recommend that every small business owner do, no matter what level of tech savviness, is reach out to their local Small Business Development Center for 100% free assistance on all of these tech-focused hurdles. Advisor teams specialize in these subjects and will guide you through the process every step of the way with all the variables you have in mind.
