Strategic Reset: Why Scaling Your Business Starts With Stepping Back

You’re doing “all the right things.” And yet… growth feels messy, inconsistent, or exhausting. This is usually the moment when entrepreneurs think they need more marketing, more content, or more tactics. What they actually need is a Strategic Reset. A strategic reset is…

When “Social” Media Stops being Social
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about what social media has become and whether it still deserves the word social at all. When these platforms first emerged, they were designed to connect us. To help us stay in touch with family, friends, colleagues, and communities we care about. To share ideas, moments, and experiences. To feel a little less alone in a big digital world. Today, that original…

Embracing the Open Sea: A Journey to Freedom
There’s something incredibly inspiring about the vast, open sea. It represents endless possibilities, uncharted territories, and the freedom to navigate your own path. Just like the open sea, being self-employed offers a similar sense of liberation. It’s about breaking free from the constraints of a traditional 9-to-5 job and setting sail on your own entrepreneurial journey. When you work for…

Online Shopping - The BUZZ Word for 2022
Online Shopping – The BUZZ Word for 2022
Online shopping has been around since 1994, as according to the BBC (2022) the first ever online based purchase was conducted by NetMarket, founded by D. Kohn, at which point a person ordered a Sting CD, for $12.48 (£10). Then in 1995, Amazon.com launched its online shopping site, followed by eBay, also in 1995. Fast forward to today, according to the BBC (2022) “Internet sales as a total…

December - Time to Reflect
December – Time to Reflect
How are YOU? Not just owing to the Covid-19 pandemic, I consider the past two years as challenging overall. The fear of the unknown, the loss of life due to Covid, the unjust murders of black people in the US, the ongoing lockdown(s), loss of free speech, the constant increase of weather-related disasters, the migrant crisis, as well as the constant ‘tag of war’ between nations!!! The more you…

Meet PLUTO – Our latest family member
Our journey with PLUTO started with a dream my daughter had. After her bestie got a Yorkshire Terrier two years ago, my daughter was hooked on the idea of wanting a dog for our family too. However, after months of consideration she focused on a miniature dachshund. Buying a dog, however, takes time and while her dream was to get him last Christmas, we could not find one. About 4 weeks ago, I…

Are you ready to take your business to the next level?
Are you ready to take your business to the next level?
I see many business owners who want more, BUT who do not take consistent action. Something appears to be holding them back…Procrstination?… Procrastinators in the workplace miss more deadlines than non-procrastinators, according to a study conducted by Van Eerde (2003). During conversations, at times, I listen to the fear of success, rather than fear of failure. I usually respond with my…

Is it ‘Tidy Up Time’ for your business?
Is it ‘Tidy Up Time’ for your business?
When my kids were younger, I used to call out “It’s tidy up time!”, and they would know right away what it means; the time of day in which we dedicated to cleaning up all the mess around the house. I always felt a sense of accomplishment when despite three kids the house was well kept, while my kids definitely looked forward to receiving the occasional treat afterwards. According to a study…

Do you walk your talk?
Do you walk your talk?
Especially in times of despair (e.g. RIGHT NOW!), you will ONLY win business, IF you stand out from the crowd. Why should any customer or client believe in what you sell, if you don’t ‘walk your talk’???
It amazes me when I speak to business owners who can’t figure out why nobody buys their stuff, when I can see at first glance that they neither use their own products or services, nor…
