In this episode of the Moment Masters Show, Shakira M. Brown, a.k.a. “The Small Biz Whisperer” welcomes back marketing expert and now published author Louis Gudema, founder of revenue + associates to the show. Gudema has released a more than 350 page, full color book titled, “Bullseye Marketing: How to Grow Your Business Faster” now available on Amazon https://amzn.to/2zFrV3o . During his chat with The Small Biz Whisperer, Gudema provides a sneak peek of what you will find in his book. He also shares strategy and tactics for effective marketing.
If you are dying to learn the actionable marketing steps you can implement today with very little money, Louis Gudema has you covered!
Gudema says,” Many marketers, and non-marketing executives, are so focused on spreading the word about their great offerings that without realizing it they do this in reverse order. They start with programs in the outer circle like social media, content marketing (blogging, videos, speeches, etc.) and display advertising — which usually are among the slowest and most-expensive ways to generate new business — and they miss the great opportunities that are right under their noses. And because they do this backward they all too often have poor initial results and soon give up, saying, “We knew it: marketing doesn’t work for us.”
Louis Gudema is no novice at marketing strategy. Through his consulting firm helps companies from MIT startups and small businesses to the Fortune 500 increase their revenue by focusing on the fastest, least expensive and most cost-effective programs to get more leads and sales. Louis speaks frequently on marketing and business at regional and national events, and has written for such leading business sites as The Harvard Business Review, MarketingProfs, Chiefmartec, TechTarget, VentureBeat, Content Marketing Institute, and HubSpot. Louis also chats with The Small Biz Whisperer about being an upcoming speaker during Growth & Success Con 2018 Virtual Small Business Conference where he will share even more marketing insights.

In this episode Shakira Brown a.k.a The Small Biz Whisperer goes in depth with the “star” one of American Idol’s most infamous auditions. Hung took a leap of faith and stood on line for hours to sing his favorite song “She Bangs” in front of the judges for a chance to make it to Hollywood. He didn’t have the pipes to be invited for the big stage, but his bold and comical audition catapulted him to stardom in a different way.
Hung, who famously said he had no regrets and tried his best after being panned by snarky Simon Cowell, ultimately turned sour lemons into lemonade. He became and international sensation getting paid to perform in his personal style of singing. He rode the typical 15 minutes of fame wave for FOUR years, but when the calls stopped coming in his star faded.
Today, Hung is on a path to reinvention and he joined me on the Moment Masters Show with update and advice for anyone who has trouble taking risks.
In Hung’s words, “If you keep believing in yourself you can become unique, you can become one of a kind and make the impact you are always looking for.”
Listen to this entertaining and inspiring Moment Masters Show interview with William Hung for a new way of thinking about Hung and perhaps even yourself.

In this special “Fortune Cookie” episode of the Moment Masters Show Shakira Brown a.k.a The Small Biz Whisperer tackles the prickly subject of small business owners owning up to their constant dysfunction.
The theme of the episode is based on a fortune message she discovered in her fortune cookie stating, “Not to alter one’s faults is to be a faulty indeed.”
The Small Biz Whisperers fortune cookie conjured up thoughts about why many small businesses fail and how often the failure of entrepreneurs to right their faults block their success.
Shakira shares three stories of small business owners so stuck in their faulty ways that it prevents them from getting the results that they truly desire and desperately need to stay afloat.
During the episode she unpacks how many business owners make the unofficial definition of insanity said to be “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result” all too true.
This episode clearly highlights how small business leaders struggle because they are ineffective at getting out of their own way and as a result lose an incredible amount of money, profit and opportunity which sometimes leads the businesses to close for good.
Most importantly, in this episode small business owners LIKE YOU will be able to see how failing to implement a strategy around any aspect of your business will never yield the results you want.
Shakira Brown, The Small Biz Whisperer tells it like it is, “If you feel like you can do everything you’re wrong. If you feel like you will survive the first three years of your business by doing everything yourself to save money you’re wrong. Everybody needs to invest in their business and hire people who are great at what THEY do. Find a budget to do it.”

In this episode Shakira Brown a.k.a The Small Biz Whisperer speaks with life hacker entrepreneur and accidental author Roy Huff. Roy has an inspiring story. After graduating high school a year early, he moved to Hawaii at the age of seventeen with only $100 in his pocket to start a new life to escape the cycle of poverty in his family. He has since become a very successful author and has earned five degrees in four different disciplines spanning liberal arts, history, education, and geoscience. He has worked on projects such as NASA's GOES-R Proving Ground and has co-authored peer-reviewed research, which has graced the cover of the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society (BAMS).
Roy is no stranger to the rewards of hardwork and knows that it is a means to an end,"A person could buy into their own hype and think that the reason they have done well up to a certain point is because they are intelligent, have good genes or whatever. But the simple truth is it comes down to deliberate practice and the amount of effort they can put in to doing something."
Today, Roy is committed to promoting education, applied science, individuality, creativity, and above all, hope. He grew up on the East Coast, but has lived in Hawaii for more than half his life where he currently resides and creates new worlds with the stroke of his pen.
Listen to this episode to learn a bit about his journey and also hear about what’s in his self-help book, Think Smart, Not Hard, which shares some of the strategies he has learned to achieve success and happiness. Be inspired by Roy's story of perseverance and ingenuity to break free of any personal roadblocks you may be facing.

In episode 31 of the Moment Masters Show host Shakira M. Brown a.k.a The Small Biz Whisperer go in-depth on branding with advertising and branding genius Robert A.B. Sawyer. Sawyer who has over 30 year of experience branding and developing marketing strategies for businesses of all sizes across a myriad of industries thoughtfully reminds us that branding is not defined by the business but more so by its customers. His impressive background in the world of advertising and branding includes working with some of the leading advertising firms in the world including Ogilvy Mather, R/GA • Saatchi & Saatchi Young & Rubicam and Ziccardi and Partners. The brands he has helped shape include American Express, AT&T, DHL Asia, Hitachi, OTIS and Pepsi Cola Company, among man others. He is also a published author of two books: Kiss and Sell Wriitng for Advertising Redesigned and Rekissed and American Lullaby.
Sawyer says “When we are talking about the process of building its about building value and the first step is to begin internally. It is important for all employees to have the same point of view no matter how many employees you have it. He says everyone must be on message or stay on brand.” Our discussion goes quite deep and by the end of listening to this episode you will have a clear understanding of what branding is and most importantly understand why you must view your business as something fluid and dynamic that must be continuously monitored. Sawyer warns that you can’t do that if you are not certain what your business actually is.
Plus, find out why branding is as granular as the quality of the type of promotional items you hand out to prospects and why Sawyer believes that having a feeling of insecurity in business is not as bad as you may think.
