Today I’m giving you my Black Friday predictions and giving you advice on what you need to do to prepare for Black Friday as a small business owner. This year, EVERYTHING is going to be different for the shopping season. A lot of businesses will be closed for in-person shopping and will move everything online. So as a small business owner, how can you compete with the big stores and prep your own business for maximum Black Friday sales? Let’s get into it!

I love to shout out a business each week on the show. Your reviews are such a blessing to me so I want to repay by drawing some attention to someone who takes the time to leave one. Thank you, KSevier, for your kind words. I pray a blessing over you and your business!

Jennifer Allwood meets me where I am in my faith, my entrepreneurial
journey, and my life as a mom and wife. The balance of Monday fires,
interviews, and overall topics always give me something to think about –
intellectually, emotionally and spiritually. I feel like I’m never alone when
I am listening to Jennifer Allwood’s podcasts. —KSevier
