When did you last buy something because someone wanted to sell it to you? Unless your kids have set up a money making venture I’ll bet the answer is ‘never’. Your customers and prospects are the same, they don’t buy because you want to sell...

I recently heard a business owner question whether she was limiting her business by defining her target market as Mums, I would suggest that she isn’t limiting it enough What is a Mum? I’m a Mum. I’m not the same Mum I was in 1991 but I’m still a Mum. In 1991 I was a...

Is your social media working for you or against you?

by Glenda Shawley | 27, May 2017 | Business communication, Business start-up, Small business advice, Small Business Marketing

I love social media, I can waste hours scrolling Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest! But the main reason that I love social media is that it allows us to build relationships with far more people over a far wider area than we could ever achieve face to face. I...

by Glenda Shawley | 25, Apr 2017 | Business start-up, Small business advice, Small Business Marketing

There’s an old saying. ‘If you always do what you’ve always done you’ll always get what you always got’. It’s rubbish! If you always do what you’ve always done you’ll be left behind in the dark ages. Things change in 25 years! I recently celebrated 25 years running my...
