  Year after year as a business coach, I talk to clients and prospective clients about business planning and strategy.  Smart business-minded people see the value of planning and having clearly defined goals and objectives.  As the saying goes “A goal without a plan is a just a dream”.  Whilst it’s lovely to ‘dream’, there…

Don’t Send Out Any Marketing Till You Have Done This!

Business CoachingBy Donna StoneNovember 19, 2019Leave a comment

Time and time again I see people send out marketing which just falls so far below par, that they are more than not engaging, they are shooting themselves in the foot.   You get only ONE chance to make a first great impression, so if the impression you make is sub-standard, poor or downright shabby, then…

For some businesses, they see stock control as simply an accounting/tax thing they have to do once a year on 30 June.  They see it as a pain in the derriere and a little more.  So I thought it was timely to share with you all the many reasons that stock control, often called ‘stock-taking’,…

Business TipsBy Donna StoneSeptember 17, 2019Leave a comment

As a seasoned business coach, I’ve been on LinkedIn for a really long time.
