Business Is Booming ...

I’ve two great friends setting up in business at present. One’s a home-stay, the other a beauty salon. Both are doing refits with the idea of opening 1 April …

All very exciting stuff & I’d love your opinions & tips:

Given your own experiences, what needs to be their highest priority NOW and once they do open their doors to the paying public?

In addition, I’ve two clients Bill & Ben – and no, they’re not the flower-pot men!

They’re having troubles with their staff not being as productive as they could be. They’re in a packaging environment & feel their staff are slacking off while they’re outing & abouting, growing the business & talking to customers.

I'd love to hear your thoughts and comments …

and I’ll share MY recommendations too. 

Talk to you soon ...

The Power of Mindset

There's a 100% chance you won't win the race, if you don't start running.

There's a 100% chance you won't make a cent from your business, if you let a lack of confidence

keep you from taking action.

If you want to make the impossible happen, you need to believe, even in the face of everyone telling you otherwise, that you CAN do what you plan to do.

That’s something more than just belief. It’s true confidence, and it’s worth its weight in gold!

Forget the doubters & Eeyores of this world.

Know that  ...

Brutal confidence + belief is unstoppable.

What are you, what am I going to do differently today?

Some Horrifying Facts I Just Read ...

Just read some stats that horrified, but didn't surprise me.

These are:

Women still earn only 80 cents for every dollar a man earns. On average, women pay $500-$1000 more than men when buying cars - and they pay 46% more for goods and services than men. A US study of the job negotiations of graduating university students found that male students were eight times more likely to negotiate starting salaries and pay than female students. 

If you're interested in learning more, there's a webinar on 30 March entitled: Negotiate Your Way To Success. The webinar which is sponsored by Optus Business features the authors of A Woman's Guide to Successful Negotiating.

If you're able to make it, do let me know your thoughts & talk to you soon ...
