In the segment, Mapes talked about some of her experiences of being a leader and a business owner.  First telling her \u2018Good News\u2019 at Top Of The List, she says \u201cThe teamwork now is at a really high level, for charisma and also for doing the right things for the client \u2013 we\u2019re all on the same page regarding vision so that\u2019s really motivating everything around us.\u201d  Mapes then commented on contributing factors to success with Top of The List: \u201cKeeping up with what\u2019s going on, it changes so often. Google comes out with different algorithms \u2013 there\u2019s Pinterest and Twitter and Facebook and people don\u2019t know how to deal with all those and make those work to their best advantage, so keeping up on top of that is just vital.\u201d  She offered advice on maintaining key relationships with clients, keeping her team happy and hard-working, and how to deal with some of the stresses that all small business owners face. \u201cSometimes you get so busy that you just have to say \u2018that\u2019s good enough.\u2019 . . . It forces you to delegate and forces you to say that it might not be exactly the way I would do it, but it\u2019s good enough.\u201d  Listen to or download the segment or visit the WGVU website archives for all Morning Show recordings.","name":"\u2018Good News and Success\u2019 Radio Segment Features Top Of The List Owner, Bev Mapes","headline":"\u2018Good News and Success\u2019 Radio Segment Features Top Of The List Owner, Bev Mapes","copyrightYear":"2012","publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/topofthelist.net\/about-us\/"},"subjectOf":{"@type":"Blog","image":{"@id":"https:\/\/topofthelist.net\/wp-content\/themes\/totl\/graphics\/totl-logo.png"},"url":"https:\/\/topofthelist.net\/blog\/","name":"Top Of The List Blog","publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/topofthelist.net\/about-us\/"},"description":"Explore a wealth of information including effective online marketing strategies and tips for improving overall website presence.
