If you are in business then 95% of the time you need a website.   If you’re not online you may as well be essentially not in business.   I read recently a blog with 5-6 tips to ensure your new website went well and clearly it was written by a website designer.   The tips were clearly…

Why (And How) You Should Pay Yourself as The Business Owner?

Business Tips, FinanceBy Donna StoneJanuary 25, 2018Leave a comment

One of the toughest decisions a business owner has to make is to set their own pay cheque level.  While setting one’s own salary can sound exciting, it is indeed a difficult decision to take.  You should draw the line where it is necessary for paying yourself your salary.  Paying yourself too less or perhaps…

New Year’s Resolutions: A Setup to Fail?

Business Tips, LifeBy Donna StoneJanuary 23, 2018Leave a comment

Being a business coach, every New Year’s I am asked “so what is YOUR New Year’s Resolution?” My response is always that I don’t do New Year’s Resolutions and quite simply the reason is that traditionally 92% of these resolutions (made in haste, usually after several drinks at a party) fail by Valentine’s day.  …

How to Create Newsletters That Get Read

Business Tips, WritingBy Donna StoneJanuary 19, 2018Leave a comment

Whilst we are inundated with email marketing and newsletters, there is still a place in business for these.  The trick is to get it right.   Not only do you want to avoid unsubscribing, but you want people to actually open the newsletter.   Choose your words wisely; you want them to tell, sell and absolutely compel…

15 Reasons PERFECTIONISM Will KILL Your Business!

Business CoachingBy Donna StoneJanuary 17, 2018Leave a comment

I used to be a perfectionist, so I’m coming from a place of knowledge.  I recognized very early on that my behavior was actually not benefiting my business.  Years later, I coach others in business and how to find that correct balance between deliberating perfectionism and meeting clients and prospects’ expectations.  Unchecked, perfectionism will kill…

One Year Bankruptcy Should Frighten You!

Business TipsBy Donna StoneJanuary 10, 2018Leave a comment

I read with (yes) horror that the Australian parliament is seriously intending to reduce bankruptcy periods from 3 years to 1 year.   If you are a business owner, this should frighten the heck out of you! These days, bankruptcy is becoming more and more common and the associated negative stigma of being bankrupt is becoming…

Reasons why you should niche your business

Reasons Why You Should Niche Your Business

Business CoachingBy Donna StoneDecember 28, 2017Leave a comment

What is it to niche your business?  Niching is when you market and service a small, well defined specific selection of the population.  No longer do you service ‘anyone with a pulse’ or service a broad section of the marketplace.  For example, I have niched someone and provide business coaching to professional services and tradies. …

A Year in Review and Making 2018 Awesome

Business CoachingBy Donna StoneDecember 27, 2017Leave a comment

  I was at a business event a few weeks back and the MC asked if anyone had experienced a FANTASTIC YEAR?   I put my hand up; I’m really happy with what occurred in 2017 but interestingly, many people did not respond even to “so what about an average year?”. When you look back at…

Business – Is It All About the Money?

Business TipsBy Donna StoneDecember 19, 2017Leave a comment

Business – is it all about the money?  Although this may be a debatable question, many people have strong opinions on both ends of the debate whether business should be all about the dollar.  While some believe that business is all about money, others may think it is the other factors that make business so…
