This is a story my dad and I did with Stacie Schaible of WLFA Tampa that aired last week and yesterday it was aired on CNBC (still pinching myself). Truly honored and blessed by all of the amazing feedback from friends and supporters of Business Beware. Since the day we started this, everyone has been amazing with the support and each day that we help business owners makes our passion grow even more for BB. We started this to help others and we will continue to be a voice for business owners nationwide.

You can do just that with Oneshar.es except it won’t explode, sorry guys.

BUT when you do send a message, password or any information to someone through Oneshar.es, it’s destroyed after being viewed by the person you sent it to. This is a great tool for businesses that need to send personal information without it being shared across the boards.

It’s also available for iPhone and Android phones.

Businesses that are using Pinterest right and to their advantage, really have seen some amazing results with driving traffic to their sites. Now you can see stats on what pins were popular that you posted or that were posted from your site with PinAlerts (currently in beta). It’s like Google Alerts for Pinterest basically. Get real time updates on how your brand is spreading across this social network.

And thanks to Pinterest, everyone now thinks that I am one amazing cook…

Also, a thank you to Ovaleye TV for the shout out on their vlog from the other day.

My cousin has been doing this for a few weeks now and she recently ran a 5K where it took 2 minutes off her original time. Yep, 2 minutes already. Even if you’re not training for a race and just want to have some cool workouts to add to your current routine, these are great to work in. They were created by 2 trainers out in Cali and anyone can do them, it’s just about being consistent. I wanted to make it easy for you to have so enjoy it below or here’s the link to the pdf: Self Magazine – Drop 10 Enjoy!

It’s been a crazy ride with Business Beware for the last year from adding the awesome beware letter, the amazing people we’re meeting through our show and the overwhelming responses we’ve received from business owners. We set out to create BB as a voice for business owners and little did we know that it would grow into what it is today. We’ve had amazing support and the emails from all of you sharing how we’ve helped you and your business only helps make us grow BB to the best it can be.

We sat down with the lovely Stacy Schaible the other day with Channel 8 News and it was such a great feeling to share why business owners need someone on their side. Consumers have so many outlets from Angie’s List, BBB, Rip off Report and even every outlet of social media to rate a business. Sure, there are some bad businesses out there and they give the good ones a bad rep but there are also some bad customers out there too. I got the chance to share with her about the “beware letter” and how it works and she asked “So you are putting collection agencies out of business?” Of course jokingly I replied with, “Well, yeah actually we are!” Not really but we are definitely changing the game for them because every business owner that has used BB and our letter has said and I quote, “Thanks to BB I will never use a collection agency again.”

We’re constantly growing and listening to our members on their input and what they want to see come to BB. One big thing that was asked is that we offer the beware letter to be emailed to the customer. And now I am happy to say that you can now have it sent by regular mail or email. We have even created an all new dashboard with some snazzy options that make it oh so much easier for  you to keep up with everything in your account. So for all current members, enjoy the new features and future members we welcome you to be a part of the BB family (many more features to come very soon as well).

We are so excited for the new projects we have going on with BB and can’t wait to share some of them with you. We thank you for supporting what we do and for helping us continue to be the business owner’s voice. Please don’t hesitate to email me with any questions you have at ashley(at)businessbeware.biz

P.S. Make sure and take advantage of our custom commercials ($300) that air with our TV show.
