EP 39: Ben Potts – Running a Restaurant in the Pandemic, Spotting New Opportunities, and Starting a Consultancy Business

 


Building out a new arm of your business in the middle of a
pandemic is no small feat—but sometimes it’s necessary.


In recent episodes, we’ve talked to different badass business
owners who transformed or pivoted their businesses in response to
COVID. They shared why they pivoted, how they did it, and how
they’re doing now.


Today’s guest, Ben Potts, is another living example of how you
can alter your business to meet your needs and your clients
*right now—*and be a badass business owner all at the same time.


Interestingly, Ben was able to seamlessly open a consulting
company because he was already a true expert—spending decades
learning every inch of the business and meeting so many people.


As you’ll hear, when you’re consulting and before you’ve launched
any sort of marketing, your first clients are going to be people
that you already know—or people that they know! That’s why it’s
essential to reach out to everyone you know that might be
interested in what you’re offering.


In this episode, Ben and I are going to dive into the method
behind developing and launching his new program, Better Bar menu,
and how he created a lucrative business before doing any kind of
marketing.
