S5 E12: How to Grow a Thriving Business in a Small Town with Dana Larson of Rural Revival

Growing a business anywhere is a challenge, but doing so in a small town can seem almost impossible.   Whether it's a tiny population, a small amount of foot traffic, or a perceived lack of demand, the obstacles always seem to outweigh the opportunity.  Today it's time to bust that myth as I'm joined by my friend Dana Larson.  Dana is the founder of Rural Revival, a podcast dedicated to telling the stories if people like yourself who are building thriving businesses in small towns across the country.  In today's episode Dana discusses how to generate business ideas that will work in your small town, how to find money to start your business, some of the most common obstacles faced by small business owners, different methods of marketing your business, and much more.- The Positively Tea Company is your go-to source for organic, loose-leaf teas without the artificial junk!
