Happy Monday!
Here’s the Business Buzz with A Helpful Trend, Tip, Tool, and
a Hot Take from HiveThink to help you this week…
01 HiveTrend - Elf Coming Back to Theaters!
The classic Christmas movie, Elf, is coming back to theaters on November 17th to celebrate its 20th anniversary. Capitalize on this by making Elf related content, skits, parodies, and using music from the movie.
If you hop on this early and make content to spread the word in a fun way, YOU could be the source that lets your followers know about this, helping them have a spark of joy knowing they can see Elf on the big screen again.
02 HiveTip - Being a Consistent Leader
"Consistency is one of the most important and underrated aspects of being a leader. A person can’t feel safe at work if they’re apprehensive about what version of their manager they’re going to encounter on any given day. So if you’re the boss, you need to be steady, controlling your moods so you don’t end up taking out that morning’s squabble with your spouse in a server with a wrinkled shirt." Will Guidara, Unreasonable Hospitality.
One of the hard parts of being a leader is not going to extreme places with emotions. Someone I know once said that as a leader you don't get to be really excited about things or really mad about others, because you need to be neutral and even-tempered. I think that is extreme and takes the "people" out of the workplace, but there is something to be said for showing up as a consistently empathetic and understanding leader.
Your team should not be afraid for how you are going to react to something they do or say, and should know if they mess up that your first reaction won't be "What the hell!?" but rather "Are you ok?" and "How can I help?". That is how you build trust, candor, and an open workplace rather than your team hiding from you.

04 HiveTake - If You Want Your Product/Service Launches to Make More $…
Stop speaking to what your customers need, and instead speak to what they want.
In your business, you already know all the steps your customers or clients need to take, but it’s important to remember that if they still need what you have to offer they DON’T know all the steps.
This means that they can really only focus on what they WANT deeply right now, and therefore that’s the exact kind of message that’s going to hit hard.
Once you hook them with their WANT, then you can connect them getting what they want with what they NEED.
As Mary Poppins sings, “A spoonful of sugar makes the medicine go down.”
Check out this reel where we talk about how a once-thriving business went into obscurity by not continuing to pay attention to their customers wants in a changing landscape:
