Why It’s Far Better To Work ON Your Business, Rather Than IN It

Many have heard this expression; but do we really understand what it means?  I’m going to look at what it means to work ON your business (versus IN the business) and why it’s important as a business owner to work ON it.             What exactly is working IN a business?…

What Makes an Extraordinary Person, Versus Just Ordinary?

LifeBy Donna StoneMarch 14, 2019Leave a comment

After attending an International Women’s Day (IWD) High Tea this week I got to thinking about one of the speakers.  This lady has had the most shockingly awful childhood.  The word ‘tough’ doesn’t even scratch the surface.  But what is extraordinary is the direction she took, what she has achieved and where she is today. …

Business CoachingBy Donna StoneMarch 12, 2019Leave a comment

I mentor and coach a number of leaders in business, new managers and new owners.  Often what comes up is the person’s lack of confidence in their role.  One or two have even asked, “Am I a fraud?”  Let’s look at how to build your confidence to become a great leader.        …

How Do Others Perceive You?

Business CoachingBy Donna StoneMarch 5, 2019Leave a comment

Three years ago I wrote this article about perception in business for another website.     Perception is very important in business.  You should know how you are perceived as a business owner and how your business is perceived by others such as your clients, prospects and even competitors.

7 Marketing Mistakes You CANNOT Afford to Make!

MarketingBy Donna StoneFebruary 26, 2019Leave a comment

When it comes to business marketing, we can afford to make little mistakes but we need to get it right fairly quickly.  Many think it’s about the cost of failed marketing, and certainly, that is very relevant.  You stuff up an advert or message and you’ve wasted that money.  But it’s more than that.  It’s…

The Disasters of Working with Friends (And How to Avoid the Dramas)

Business TipsBy Donna StoneJanuary 29, 2019Leave a comment

When it comes to family and friends, working with them, for them, or employing them can make for a complete and utter disaster.   Families can be torn in half; lifelong friendships can dissolve overnight and generally, one or both parties are unhappy and disappointed.         This comes around for what I believe…
