Small Business
Since the earthquake in Christchurch in September 2010 and more recently in February this year, our business has been inundated with business owners trying to re-establish contact with their current customers (more about that on my next blog) to try and improve cash flow in the short term and have been looking for help to attract new customers to ensure they have a good sales pipeline and revenue for the medium to long term.
Dave Sewell Ltd is proud to announce that we are now officially training providers to New Zealand Trade & Enterprise (NZTE) Development Capability Voucher Scheme, but what does that mean for business?
My guest blogger this month is Dr Sonia McManus, owner of Dreamweavers Life Coaching. Sonia has been helping many of us get through the trauma of the most recent earthquake in Christchurch where Cantabrians have been referred to as being “resilient” but what does that really mean? Sonia explains nicely in this article.
Over the last few years I have helped many businesses over come challenges that have threatened it’s continued existence, almost always these challenges arise, not because the business is not viable but because the business owner(s) lack the skills and/or the experience necessary to over come these challenges.
This week I would like to introduce my guest blogger, Tony Burns from i2i (Impossible to Inevitable). In 2010 I was a recipient of Tony’s i2i workshop, this workshop quite literally (as corny as it sounds) changed my life, my attitude to my business and most importantly my attitude to my own success.
How often have you sit at your desk, worrying about the next conversation you are going to have with that “over demanding” customer? Will it be another opportunity for that customer to have a winge fest? Will the customer tell me to take a hike? Will they refuse to pay me for what I have done so far?
Insurances, the necessary evil in life, throwing away your money to some company that says they are there to help you through any potential bad times in your life, what they don’t say is, they create them as well!!
I have over fifteen years experience in systems and network configuration and support. For most of that time I have been working with Open Source Software, and believe that Open Source software provides the best solutions for business, educational and personal use.
