The Five Stages of Business

ESTABLISHMENT Your business is being created.  Everything seems fun and new at this stage but in most cases money is tight.   This is a time to be creative in getting known and a time to find your feet in what you do.  Usually this stage is when the owner does everything all the time.   Sadly, many businesses close when the start up money runs out, so the key is to keep overheads and expenses to a minimum.  Spending money on sales campaigns and business listings is unwise as they seldom produce the desired results.  Establishment Problems:   Cash flow, marketing and gaining new clients. Establishment Keys:   Keep overheads and expenses to a minimum Establishment Tips: Only use free business directories Use all free online listing options Pitch either with a cheaper version or premium version Network with other businesses Create strong relationships with existing clients Start with a free website, blog and hosting Open a separate bank account for your business

Nature's Way - Masks

There are so many weird and wonderful things that you can use to make a facial mask.  My daughters and I have had loads of fun with natural masks and also had great results.  Many chemical masks have frighteningly high risks so soaking your face with them is not a good idea.  Most masks contain dangerous substances and block your pores.  It is important to allow your skin to breathe and adding too many products can have an adverse effect.  Less is more when it comes to your skin so find a beauty regime that allows your skin to find a natural balance.  Most of the time what you put into your body has more effect that what you put onto your skin.  Eating healthy, exercising, sleeping well and drinking lots of water are the most important ingredients for the best looking skin.   After that comes a simple cleanse, tone and moisturise routine with natural ingredients.  If necessary, use a Nature’s Way mask from time to time.  The following table shows the health concerns based on c

King's Daughters Conference 2012

I can't believe a year has gone by and it's that time again.  It feels like just yesterday that I was writing about how the King's Daughters Conference was conceived and here I am again counting down the final 5 days to our second event.  The 2012 conference is so much bigger and so much better than last year's one .  I am bursting with excitement about all that we have planned and can't wait to be writing another blog post to you soon with feedback and photos.  I highly recommend that you subscribe to our new YouTube channel so you can be the first to see all the media after the conference.  There is not much for me to say right now as I am way too nervous and excited.  If you haven't already got your ticket please do so at www.kingsdaughtersconference.co.uk and if you live too far away to join us don't worry as next year's event is international, we will come to you via your computer screen .  Exciting times ahead!

Being a Woman in Business - Invitation

Today’s women seem more passionate about business that ever before.   In the sixties we fought for equal rights in the workplace, in the seventies we fought for equal pay, in the eighties we put the first American woman in space and we begun our fight against sexual harassment.  In the nineties women served in combat for the first time, during the Gulf War.  Today we are twenty first century women and there is little difference between a man or a women in business.  Or is there? Recently I read this statement: “Successful women entrepreneurs do not look at their peers and subordinates as men or women, but just as people whom they must lead or interact with in the course of their work.”  I must say that I totally disagree with this statement and believe that a woman who understands the different between men and women will get more out of their professional life than those that deny that there are in fact differences.    Taget Women offer a glance at the physiological varia

Esther or Delilah? - Esther’s Story

A long, long time ago, in a country called Persia, there lived a powerful king named Ahasuerus (aHa-shoo-eerus).  He ruled over a vast empire of one hundred and twenty seven provinces which spread all the way from India to Ethiopia.  He ruled in his magnificent fortified palace along with his a beautiful, dazzling queen, Queen Vashti.     During his reign, King Ahasuerus wanted to show off to his entire kingdom, so he held the most spectacular, magnificent, awe inspiring feast.  He showed the riches of his glorious kingdom and the splendour of his excellent majesty for many days, one hundred and eighty days in all .  Wine and other exotic drinks flowed without measure to all who attended.      Food was delightful and plentiful.  Entertainment of the highest professional quality was provided.  No expense was spared at the king’s party.  Yet, at the end of his extravagant feast, it seemed that the king’s need to display his power was not satisfied.  He proclaimed another feast; this
