    Saving money has to be one of the most unnatural things any of us have down since we flew abroad (flying is pretty unnatural as far as we are concerned).

    Luckily for you, there are some less intense and far-fetched ways of improving your self-discipline that will ensure you aren’t always struggling at the end of the month, and aren’t always so broke-broke. So, smile, save your money and read on.  (more…)

  • Are you ready for these harsh truths about your business

    Are you ready for these harsh truths about your business?

     

    If there’s one mistake that even the most experienced businesses tend to make, it’s refusing to listen to criticism. Far too often business owners shut out anyone who might try to tell them something that they don’t want to here. There’s a degree to which this is kind of understandable. After all, no one wants to hear that something they’ve poured blood, sweat, and tears into isn’t working. But the issue with this is that, unless you’re willing to pay attention to what you’re doing wrong, you’re never going to be able to improve. By hiding your head in the sand and only listening to people who tell you exactly what you want to hear, you’re just going to end up making the same mistakes over and over until they start to put your business in serious jeopardy. To make sure that doesn’t happen, it’s time to face up to some harsh truths about you and your business.  (more…)

    The guide to organising an incredible event

    Whether you’re trying to raise money for a charity or organisation, meet with customers and shareholders, or simply put on one heck of a party, there are few better ways to do it that with an absolutely killer event. In the business world, when a lot of people think of an event they think of rooms filled with people in suits being bored out of their minds, pretending to care about powerpoint presentations.

    Now, that’s not to say that an event where information is communicated carefully and intelligently isn’t extremely important, but if you want your event to really engage people, then you need to give it something a little bit more special. Whatever the reason behind it is, your event is an opportunity to excite, delight and keep your organisation in the forefront of people’s minds well after it’s ended. To do that you need to turn it into something remarkable and unique. It needs to be the kind of thing that attendees have never seen before. To help make sure that it really is a showstopper, here is some simple advice to help you put on the best possible event. (more…)

    Beat the heat: keeping your business cool when moving it abroad

    Working in the blazing sun is, for a lot of people, a dream; to some it’s even a life goal, and moving your own business there is even more mouth-watering a prospect. The idea of waking up every day and not being met by a rush of cold air wishing you a good morning, whilst still feeling safe in the knowledge that you still have the built-in financial security that comes with being a business owner, are just a few things that makes British migration to Spain, for instance, such a tantalising prospect for a large amount of the business owner population. In 2014, the officially registered population of British nationals in Spain was 300,286: that’s a lot of people going in search of a hot summer and mild-winter Mediterranean climate, and there are probably even double that amount back in Blighty right now who would like to join them. But for all those who would there are precautions that have to be taken when moving your business to such a climate, and not necessarily things that necessarily strike as being important.

    Technology that your business needs to survive

    Sometimes you have to start at the beginning. One of the most important lessons that every business owner goes through is learning about technology. It sounds silly now because technology is a blanket term for almost anything electronic. Computers count as technology, your car count as technology and even the internet could count. As a result, when people mention technology in their blogs and articles, it can be somewhat hard to follow what exactly they mean.

    Even if you’ve read a dozen different articles, there is no doubt that you’ve picked up some useful information among all the useless junk. However, this article will be different. In this post, we’re going to talk about the bare basics of technology that your business needs to survive. (more…)

    This is how you guarantee your business new clients every month

    In such a competitive climate, we have to do everything in our power to force our companies to stand out from the crowd. Whatever industry you’re in,  you know how difficult it can be to push your brand to the forefront. And great company branding isn’t enough anymore – a cool slogan, a snazzy logo, and a sharp website aren’t sufficient to push a potential customer to choose you above your competitors. Sales aren’t about persuading, convincing, or winning – that’s how customers leave unsatisfied with the service they received – it’s got to be all about making your company accessible, and building client trust from the moment they lay eyes on you.  Here’s how it’s done.
