Video – How to create video content, without a camera
You can create great video content, and don’t even need a camera to do so:
Would you run a business with a multi million pound turnover, without training?
Of course you wouldn’t, which is why the management teams for the business networking groups I am involved with receive ‘leadership development training’ before taking up their role. The leadership teams change every six months so it is a regular occurrence. In September 2012 I was again involved in helping train the new leadership teams. […]

Remember to allow for your own time costs when engaging a professional:
Helen Colechin – HR Department
I met with Helen recently for a one to one meeting, we are both members of the same business networking group based in Caterham. Helen represents the HR department in our group, the company provides outsourced HR services to people needing them – whether on a one-off or on a regular basis. They also offer […]

When you love what you do, work ceases to be ‘work’:
Case Study: Leann – starting a business
Leann had started a part-time self-employed business and initially had not been concerned about tax as she believed her expenses were covering her income. This is a common misconception, however there can be serious penalties for failing to declare income to HMRC. Indeed, from 2011 onwards the penalties for failing to submit a tax return […]

The benefit of this to people is that they can be referred to trusted individuals, rather than just pick a name out of a directory. My business networking group is based […]

Case Study: Michael – with complex tax affairs
Due to pressures of work, Michael was not able to start collating his information until January. As things were getting close to the deadline he was worried about being able to get help with his tax. When we met we ran though the extra information required to complete the tax return and accounts, as well […]
On a Sunday, are you dreading the working week?
There is an unfortunate statistic from Premier Inn’s survey, that 40% of British workers dread the return to work on a Monday. Apparently the dread is even said to start around 4pm on a Sunday afternoon! But why? Surely if people are not enjoying their work they would find a role more suited to their […]
Video – Can collaborating help your business to grow?
It’s a mistake many people make – thinking they will try to deal with everything themselves, rather than specialising in one area and outsourcing others. Rather than cost you business, you could find that the cross referrals actually increase the amount of business – and by combining marketing efforts and economies of scale in other […]
