Are You an Argumentative Business Owner?

Business CoachingBy Donna StoneJuly 9, 2019Leave a comment

Who wants to do business with (or work for) a cranky person?  When it comes to doing business with someone, whether that’s a customer, supplier, boss or employee – the fact that they can do the job is important. The fact that the pricing is right is important also.  But almost as important is whether…

Discipline in Business

Discipline in Business

Business TipsBy Donna StoneJune 25, 2019Leave a comment

To succeed in business you do require self-discipline.  To me, discipline is not a bad thing.  Many people balk at the idea of discipline and if you look up the meaning of ‘discipline’ it is “the practice of training people to obey rules or a code of behaviour, using punishment to correct disobedience.”  – I…

11 Reasons to Not Expand Your Business

Business TipsBy Donna StoneJune 11, 2019Leave a comment

As a business coach, you’re probably wondering why I would be talking about not expanding.  For a start, whilst 90% of my clients are looking for business growth or expansion, I do work with some who actually do NOT want to expand or grow.   For them, working with me is about working better, more efficiently…

Maintenance of Your Apple iPhone

Business CoachingBy Donna StoneMay 28, 2019Leave a comment

For any business these days, our phones are one of our important tools of the trade.   For some of us, we live on our phone and can do anything from it – especially if you are in business.   I recently got the iPhone 8 (and love it) which got me thinking to how to best…

Business Anger is Deadly

Business CoachingBy Donna StoneMay 13, 2019Leave a comment

I think at some time or another we’ve ‘lost it’ or experienced someone in a business environment ‘lose it’ and display a degree of anger that just is not on.  Displaying anger in your business can literally be deadly.                 Let’s look at how business anger is deadly…

How to Put “FUN” Back Into Your Business!

Business TipsBy Donna StoneMay 7, 2019Leave a comment

The importance of having fun in the workplace can’t be overlooked by business owners especially when it makes employees more efficient at work.  Why will you make the office gloomy when you can make the work fun and productive at the same time?  Employees who work in a happy working environment tend to work harder…

A Female Leader in Business

Business CoachingBy Donna StoneMay 2, 2019Leave a comment

  I wrote an article for Soar Collective about being a female leader in business.  As I said, leaders and entrepreneurs aren’t born… they are made by finding their way through the challenges around them. I, myself, was brought up with limiting beliefs.  I was made to believe that as a girl I would need…

Having Trouble Getting Paid?

Business CoachingBy Donna StoneApril 23, 2019Leave a comment

One of the most painful aspects of being in business is getting paid.  If you’ve been in business more than five seconds and offer credit, then you know what I am talking about.  There is everything from the “I’m not happy so I’m not paying” comment, right through to complete ‘ghosting’ where you are completely…

Changes to the Bookkeeping Industry – Good or Bad?

Business CoachingBy Donna StoneApril 16, 2019Leave a comment

The face of the bookkeeping industry is hugely changing. The last 5 years have seen massive changes and I don’t believe those changes will stop, pause or even slow down. In fact, I believe they will accelerate. So what are those changes?           The three main changes in the bookkeeping industry…

Business TipsBy Donna StoneApril 8, 2019Leave a comment

The Aussie Federal Budget was handed down this week – and somewhat earlier than usual.   Our Prime Minister, Scott Morrison states this as “the first budget plus in 12 years.”  Yes, we will all see this is a free election budget as it benefits many.   I’ve broken this up into Business, Individual and General.  …
