Too relatable!

Love that for my already full content calendar.

In the background, our founder has been building out a content-capture system that relies on texting rather than email, shared drives, etc. When we work with small business and nonprofits, we know that time is one of the most precious resources. So we send you a text that you can answer in two minutes or less.

When we ask the right question, we get amazing answers. That helps business owners and leaders get information out of their heads and ready to be used for content.

While we technically employ a few people, BHC started out as one person who wanted to do some work for others. But outside traditional employment environment. Some call it freelance. Some call it contract work. We just called it helping small business and nonprofits. Shout out to those who do the work, make the money, and are part of the state economy.

A recent Missouri Economy Indicators Brief explores multiple job and self-employed trends.

Self-employment is an important part of Missouri’s economy, offering people ways to earn income outside traditional jobs. In 2023, Missouri had more than 485,000 businesses without paid employees, including about 429,000 sole proprietorships, generating $26.2 billion in revenue.

About three-quarters of these businesses were in metro counties, while one-quarter were in nonmetro counties. However, nonmetro businesses generated slightly more revenue per business — about $56,200 compared with $53,300 in metro areas.

Nonmetro counties also had the highest concentration of these businesses. Scotland County ranked first, with 119 businesses per 1,000 residents and more than $106,000 in revenue per business. Transportation and warehousing had the most businesses in metro areas, while construction led in nonmetro areas.

These numbers show that self-employment and small, one-person businesses are an important part of how Missourians work and earn income, particularly in rural communities.

Curious if others are seeing great ROI with Skip? I found out about it during a grant-funding workshop and I'm trying it out. I'm just not sure if it's worth it to add another platform (hello, LI, Alignable, etc) to my mix.

Anyone using it?

We work with mission-driven clients. This past week, Brandi and Amanda hit the road to chat with nonprofit leaders at a fundraising conference. We explain that we work with nonprofits AND small businesses because we find that both are often *very* mission focused. They are doing a lot with a little. And they deserve strategy alongside tacticians.

And that’s where we excel — at the cross roads of strategy and practice.

So many takeaways from GiveCon. I've got just a few to share. I love this idea about how to use AI in a nonprofit world. It's about finding ways to expedite repetitive tasks so you can actually be strategic. And, let's be real ... so you can nurture relationships with donors. Isn't that where your time is best spent?
