Agriculture & Rural Business Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

In today's episode, I'm sharing that I'm going to be taking a pause on this podcast. I have mixed emotions about this decision, but I have a lot going on in my life right now. We just had another baby, and we bought another business, so I feel I'm being called to spend time in other places. 

I'd also like to find some clarity on what this podcast is about. It started as an agriculture and rural business podcast, but I've really spent a lot of time talking about entrepreneurship. So, I'll use this time to figure out what direction to take this podcast in. And I'll still be providing business coaching and running Snowy Mountain Marketing as well as our new business, 406 Design. 

I appreciate everyone who has been listening, and this isn't a goodbye! This is just a pause for now; I will talk to you soon!

In today's episode, I talk about my basic $100k marketing strategy that can help move your business forward. I share my history of what I faced striving for that number, really wanting to find the formula that worked for me. You'll also hear the importance of sticking with a strategy for at least 90 days, even though it's difficult to wait for results when you want them quickly. Showing up consistently with your efforts is key. 

My strategy teaches you to start with the least amount of offers to be clear and concise to your audience. It also shows you how to build a content creation plan with content pillars and structured media posts. You want to focus on building relationships by providing free value and making it easy for people to buy from you. 

You can learn more about the strategy I talk about in this episode in my Business Accelerator Membership.

In this episode, I’m doing a recap of month one of taking over the business we purchased called 406 Design. As I’ve shared in previous episodes, the first month has been hectic! One of my biggest learnings is that if you’re planning to take over a business, make sure it’s in the contract that the sellers will help train and guide you. We were so lucky to have the help from the previous owners to get us started on the right foot. If this isn’t possible, hire a consultant to help.

Within the six foundational parts of a business I teach and coach: mindset, leadership, your offer, marketing, sales, and business management, I’m concentrating on which area I need to focus on to fix holes right away. The top one is business management right now. Our top priority is making sure clients are getting their orders in a timely fashion. To do that, we implemented a new software called Printavo. This will help us streamline orders and make production efficient. Join me as I will continue to share what we’re learning as we take over our new business!

Ray Marxer has worked for the largest ranch in Montana for 37 years, Matador Ranch. 

Beyond his dreams, Ray never thought he would manage the productive ranch for twenty-one years as it expanded to over 530 square miles of prime Montana ranch land and open space. 

As Ranch Manager, Ray led Montana’s Matador to new heights of environmental and economic excellence. When Ray left the ranch in 2011, it was up to 300,000 acres. This 240,000-acre ranch was sold in 2021 to media mogul Murdoch.

I'm really excited to talk with Ray. He recently wrote a book called Cowboy In A Corporate World. 

Today, we are talking about this book and all the different things that come with managing a ranch or managing a business in general.

Welcome to The Rural Business Podcast! My name is Aly Robins, and I’m a business and marketing coach for agriculture and rural-based businesses.

Each week we’ll discuss insights and tools to start up, scale and develop your rural business. Whether you’re involved directly in agriculture, have a local brick and mortar, or run a rural-focused business from a home office - this podcast is for you. 

I’ll be your guide as we go through the process of developing your brand and market. As we unpack the many aspects of running a business in a rural setting, you’ll grow more confident as a business owner helping you gain the visibility and profitability you deserve.

Coming from a ranching background, I understand the struggles of owning a business in a rural area as I operate mine from a tiny town with a population of 200. To grow and scale, I needed to learn how to change my mindset and put in the work. Now I’m here to help you do the same by sharing the same techniques, tools and thought processes I’ve used myself. 

If you want me to talk about a specific topic, go ahead and let me know at www.alyrobins.com/podcast-request. I can’t wait to hear from you!

In this episode, I'm diving into weeks 2 and 3 of our new business, 406 Design! I'm sharing the learnings from the first couple of weeks of owning a new business. It's chaos, but it's been so fun! In weeks 2 and 3, we're digging in to learn as much as we can, we're checking in with employees, studying new software we will implement, and continuing to focus on customer service. Tasks on the horizon include the website, learning everything employees do, and implementing the new software. This episode will reiterate how important it is to set up the back end of your business to be as efficient as possible.
