Sweet Buzz - Scaling a Digital B2B Business With Dancho Dimkov

In this episode, I share how I reinvented my podcasting process to make it as efficient as possible. I used to rely on an employee to handle everything, but now I’ve found tools that allow me to record, transcribe, edit, and publish a podcast all from my phone in less than 10 minutes. From using the Dolby On app for recording to Happy Scribe for transcription and ChatGPT for polishing the content,...

In this episode, I share my key takeaways from a conference in Armenia focused on AI in the consultancy world. What stood out the most was the discussion on AI digital employees—AI that’s no longer just a productivity tool like ChatGPT but is taking on actual employee roles with access to emails, reports, and even customer service. During the conference, I saw a live demo where an AI receptionist...

In this episode, I continue discussing the lecture I’m preparing for the Faculty of Economics. After sharing the idea of documenting, not creating content, I move on to the second big point: content repurposing . The idea is simple: when you create content, make sure you can recycle and reuse it across different formats and platforms. I explain how you can take a video series and repurpose it into...

In this episode, I’m on my way to give a guest lecture at the Faculty of Economics, and I’m using this time to share my key lesson with you— document, don’t create . I’ve been thinking a lot about how people approach social media, and I realized that instead of constantly trying to create fresh content, it’s much easier and more impactful to document what’s already happening. That’s exactly what I...

In this episode, I talk about my decision to finally start my PhD, or rather, a Doctor of Business Administration (DBA). After delaying it for years, I realized it was time to dive in. The focus of my DBA is on how small service-oriented companies can grow using AI and automation. I’ve had to narrow my research down significantly, but now I’m looking at how AI can streamline processes in HR, marke...

In this episode, I talk about finding your uniqueness in business by combining different skill sets to stand out in a crowded market. A friend of mine was deciding between focusing on her marketing experience or continuing in sales. My advice to her? Don’t choose—combine both! By positioning herself as a sales expert with a marketing background or vice versa, she could differentiate herself and ad...

In this episode, I reflect on a pivotal moment in my early twenties when I decided to stop investing in others and start investing in myself. Frustrated after an investment with friends didn’t pan out, I realized that I could count on myself more than anyone else. So, I made the best decision of my life: I enrolled in a master’s degree in entrepreneurship. That decision shaped my entire career, le...

In this episode, I continue my discussion about investing and share a personal experience of trying to partner with a passionate team years ago. I invested in a recording studio, but quickly learned that passion alone isn’t enough. The people I worked with weren’t ready to take on the responsibility of being entrepreneurs, and the project fizzled out when I wasn’t around to push it forward. The le...

In this episode, I talk about what happens when a business owner reaches a point where the business no longer needs them. BizzBee Solutions is running smoothly, and I’m not as excited about it as I once was. With some extra money in hand, I considered investing in the stock exchange, but the returns didn’t seem worth it. Starting a new business also feels like too much work at this stage, so I exp...

In this episode, I share my journey toward becoming a public speaker and how consultancy fits into my long-term strategy. I’m flying to Armenia to speak at a conference on AI and consulting, but this gig is part of a bigger plan. I realized that professional speakers can earn between 10,000 and 20,000 euros per gig, and I’ve started reverse-engineering the steps to get there. It’s not just about s...

In this episode, I explore the idea of time and how the compounding effect applies not just to money, but to building assets. As a consultant, I’m often paid by the hour, but I realized that investing those hours into creating lasting assets—like courses, books, or public speaking services—can provide returns indefinitely. I share how I recently built a new public speaking service that only took 1...

In this episode, I make my long-awaited comeback to podcasting after a four-month break. Life has been busy! On the personal side, I’m thrilled to share that we welcomed our third child—a baby girl—into the family. Professionally, I’ve been diving deep into my Doctor of Business Administration degree. Podcast transcript: Hello, everybody, and welcome to another episode of Sweet Buzz ! How's it goi...

Today, I want to share why investing in stocks can beat spending on consumer products. I stumbled upon a video comparing Apple stock vs. buying iPhones over the years - mind-blowing difference! I emphasize putting money into brands you love. Allocating a bit each month to stocks can lead to significant returns. I share my experience with Upwork, a platform I use and invest in. Remember, research i...

Just hopped off a workshop with the Association of Management Consultants in Macedonia, and let me tell you, a mindset shift hit me like a ton of bricks. Last year, I was all about waiting for the organization to kickstart a project certifying Macedonian consultants. But this time, I decided to take matters into my own hands. Proposed dropping €10,000 to get it rolling independently, with the asso...

Back in December, I really thought that my book was ready for a January release, only to face delays. Then, I decided to put the book on the test. And dang, it hurt!

Remember COVID? Remember how things started to go out of control when it hit? Or how do things begin to look different when platforms change their rules? Well, that inspired me to think about a crucial aspect of business survival – diversifying sales channels. Relying on just one sales channel can be risky and threaten your business. Those things can quickly turn your go-to sales strategy into a d...

During the holidays, I watched this killer video that slapped me with some hard truth: it's not a "WHAT" problem, it's a "WHO" problem. Let me break it down with a cool story from Malta. I hung out with a buddy of mine, he is a mixologist. Fancy, right? Those three hours spent with him changed my perspective. I WAS MINDBLOWN. And I really want to share that story with y...

The most painful subject, am I right? 🙂 But let me tell you something - it's easier to make more money than to cut costs. Yes, it's fascinating, I know. 😁 We're hardwired to fear high costs during slow months. But what if I told you that most of my time now goes into finding new revenue streams? It's a game-changer! From an employee perspective, it's all about saving that pay...

I noticed an interesting pattern in how employees, business owners, and salespeople approach money. Employees are all about costs. Budgeting, saving, and planning every penny of their salary. On the other hand, business owners are only 20% concerned with costs. The rest is dedicated to boosting revenue - new channels, upselling, and whatnot. Salespeople? They're the cool hybrids - part employe...

We're diving deep into some behind-the-scenes insights from the Digital Nomad Summit. Today, I have a topic that got me thinking - the powerful synergy between consultancy, agency, and digital goods.
