    How to Create a Space in a Niche Market with Tina Singh of Bold Helmets

    Tina Singh couldn't find a helmet to fit her kids when they started riding bikes. As an Occupational Therapist, working in the area of head and brain injury, she knew how important the use of helmets is. After trying many makeshift solutions, she took it upon herself to create a product that worked for kids like hers. Bold Helmets has created the first safety certified multisport helmet for Sikh kids aged 5+.
    We talk about how she got started, what she wishes she’d known, how to create a new product from nothing, and how to market a new product while educating your audience about why it’s needed

    A new way to think about goal setting for your business in 2024

    A new way to think about goal setting for your business in 2024

    As we approach the end of 2023, Molly breaks down her favorite tips for personal & business goal setting for a new year:
    Good, Better, Best - Love this for races, but works well for a higher level look at business as well—what went well, what could have been better, what do you need to be at your best?Social media, marketing, P&L statements, taxes—gahhhDefining success - slow growth vs fast growth, going all in vs letting it happen. What do you want versus what does the optimal day/week look like for you? How can those two overlap? Have big goals, but bring your Resolutions down to ones that are small + more daily/weekly in nature vs sweeping. Celebrate success when it comes! Know you don’t have to have it all figured out / it doesn’t need to be going amazingly just yet. Most businesses take 18-24 months before returning ANY profit
