2019-09-0200 minStartup Chats with Ben ParryWho Controls Social Media?It was on my mind the other day about how so much content and attention comes out of America. And how hard it is to break through in a crowded and noisy digital age.
I've got some of my own ideas about why this happens, but I would love to hear you thoughts too!
2018-06-2807 minStartup Chats with Ben ParrySocial Media Marketing For BusinessBusiness and social media is a challenge for many businesses of all sizes. Its an interesting challenge to break through both perceptions of the opportunity but also the reality.
I think there is a misconception with business and social media on many levels. The first is the ease and speed that things can happen. The second is that a lot of businesses do not see the full value in social media marketing. But in 2018 more than ever now is the time to embrace the opportunity that social media marketing in 2018 has.
But one piece of advice I could give any...
2018-06-2609 minStartup Chats with Ben ParryDon't be Afraid To FailThere was a time I was worried, probably like you, about failing. I had a fear and still do, to an extent, of failure. However what I have learnt is that its okay to fear failure. Just don't be afraid to fail.
There is a critical difference!
Don't be afraid to fail, because the moment you except that you will fail at some point, is the moment you free yourself to try! You will be prepared to try things, to push yourself and go for it!. If you start to fail, you also start to learn and grow.
Every-time you...

2018-06-0820 minStartup Chats with Ben ParryBusiness Chat | Should I Give Away My Game Plan?Being in business has many different challenges and I love to have business chats to help others. That might be a private one on one business chat where we bounce business ideas and have a really inspirational chat. Or doing a business podcast chat where I learn about someone else's business, story and journey. But there was a time I was worried, probably like you, about giving away too much!

My fear for a lot of you, is that you are setting yourself up for failure. Don't get me wrong, its important to look for quick wins sometimes, but not at the expense of taking short cuts and not planning properly.

Start to control the process and be brave. It is absolutely critical that you man up, start to take control the sales process and let your prospects know what the rules of your game are. Otherwise you will only create a circle of chaos and chasing and you'l be jumping to their tune!

2018-05-2506 minStartup Chats with Ben ParryBusiness and Social Media | Entrepreneurial ChallengesBusiness and social media is not something that sits comfortably with a lot of businesses. I should know I was exactly the same last year, then everything changed!
As a UK entrepreneur I was going to say small businesses really struggle with grasping the power and opportunity that social media provides. But in all honesty big businesses in the UK also struggle and are not doing social media marketing particularly well.
Just ask yourself, how well do companies and businesses interacting with you on social media? Most not very well. But if I was going to give some business advice...
