Regardless of what stage of success you have taken your micro business to, you can count on us to share your story. This weeks story, in their own words, is Think Biome.
 
At ThinkBiome we understand that the microbes residing on and within our bodies, that have evolved with us over hundreds of thousands of years, are vitally important to our continued health and wellbeing. 

The successful implementation of sanitation and use of antibiotics in modern life has saved countless lives from pathogenic microorganisms. The unintended consequence of this positive action however, is that the good bacteria in and on our bodies is also harmed. 

That is why we started ThinkBiome. By making simple little changes to our diet and lifestyles we may set right the damage done by modern living. I wanted to create a community.
 
A place for people to share, discuss and understand the implications of cutting edge research into the human microbiome and to provide only the best nutritional supplements for optimal digestive health. Supplements designed around the latest, greatest research into supporting a healthy, balanced gut microbiome.

America's New Entrepreneur--North Georgia Dental Temps!

A Division of Gardner Bank
 
At SmallBusinessBank.com, a division of Gardner Bank, we serve micro business customers in the wide range of their business' life-cycles, from pre-start up, to mature business company. Regardless of what stage of success you have taken your micro business to, you can count on us to share your story. This weeks story, in their own words, is North Georgia Dental Temps.


My name is Bethany Durden. I began my business North Georgia Dental Temps, to meet the dental staffing needs of offices in the North Georgia region of the State.

My goal is to bring a paradigm shift to the outdated model of the dental staffing agency. Having been in the dental field as a dental hygienist for 12 years, I had very little knowledge of how to start a business. 

I started to educate myself through blogs and podcasts on how to start and run a business.
     
As a microbusiness entrepreneur, you must wear many  hats.  You are the IT person, the marketer, design team, secretary and accountant.  The job that I have found most challenging to this point is building my website, and the technological aspects of SEO.
     
I have chosen to measure my success by setting goals for myself within a timeframe and achieving them. If you just look at the big picture, you can easily get discouraged in the first few years of a new business venture.  However, if you judge your company’s success by the goals you have accomplished it gives a different perspective on success.
     
My most helpful tools thus far have been podcasts. Since I still work full time, I am able to use my commute to become educated.  My favorite podcast is Entreleadership. It gives both business advice and encouragement with a focus on small business.  My most helpful tools are PicMonkey, Google Calendar and a phone app Mass Text. 
    
I have loved the help and personal touch at Small Business Bank.  Customer Service is outstanding. I always talk to a person!

America's New Entrepreneur--Cicada Tech Solutions!



A Division of Gardner Bank
 
At SmallBusinessBank.com, a division of Gardner Bank, we serve micro business customers in the wide range of their business' life-cycles, from pre-start up, to mature business company. Regardless of what stage of success you have taken your micro business to, you can count on us to share your story. This weeks story, in their own words, is Cicada Tech Solutions!
 
 

My name is Johnis Dupuis and I am the founder and CEO of Cicada Tech Solutions. It is amazing to see how far the company has come considering where we have been. In the beginning we started out as a classroom of guys with a group of laptops, a variety of skills, and no startup capital.

 

But perseverance has allowed us to become the company that we see today. Now, a year later, Cicada Tech is currently a branding and design company with the intent on assisting our clientele base, primarily small business owners and those looking to rebrand themselves, with the services necessary for all their branding needs.

 

We assist in the rebranding of our clientele with services such as photography, graphic design, and social media marketing, but our biggest services has been Web design and web maintenance.

 

As time progresses, we plan on moving more into the coding sector of our enterprise by taking on our next frontier- software programming.

 

If I can give any advice to other small business owners, it would be two things. First, have a structured plan. Create goals for yourself and focus on nothing else but the goal in front of you.

 

My second piece advice is to have a strong, devoted, and encouraging team of people behind you. There are two ways to acquire power- through money and through people- and as a company that started with no money, having a militant and hard working team was very instrumental.

 

With all the planning that I had done, I could not built this company without the help of my team, especially my partners, Reginald Essien, Ashley Berry, and Chris Xia who is my Co-founder, my COO, and my CFO respectively.
