A good source of business advice

January 14, 2009

As the doom and gloom seems to show no sign of lifting advice on how to build maintain or even stay in business becomes even more valuable. Of course there is a mass of business input on the web but all too often it is lightweight, not practical or contains masses of marketing hype. I came across smallbusinesspro the other day and found it really refreshing. Maybe because so much of the advice reflects what as a business coach I tell my clients every day. I seldom recommend sites on my blog but here are some guys who have a positive contribution to make in the current hard times – check them out.

Strike up the band!

January 13, 2009

I was reading the BBC news site about the downturn reported by Chamber of Commerce members this morning.  Everywhere you look it is doom and gloom.  Radio 3 was on and Mrs K was in the bath.  Suddenly they played Land of hope and glory – fantastic.  That rousing music from another age really lifted my energies on a cold, wet, dark morning.  Why not find some music which gets you going and pop it on when things are looking a bit down?  The Elgar certainly cheered me up.
