A business advice summary  from what I am reading and learning

Business Advice Posts 

Every working person needs business advice. Whether you are in a company, enterprise or start up you can learn from other peoples’ business advice. Now I am not saying I have the answers to everything. What I am saying is that when we learn from other peoples’ business advice then perhaps we get a ‘step up’. A free kick.

I read a lot and go to many seminars and conferences. Part of my entrepreneurial journey is learning from trial and error. There are so many things to learn. For me I write them here in a selection of blog posts so that I can maybe assist others on his or her leadership journey.

It will be difficult for me to know which, if any, of these posts will touch move and inspire you to be a better leader. The thing is with business advice, or any advice for that matter, it only works if you adapt it to your owner circumstances. There is no quick fix. There is no easy way.

Best Advice: Discover What Is Inside the Book

Book designers are very clever – whenever I walk into my local book store, I am enticed to pick up a variety of wonderful volumes. The vividness of the cover, the style of the title, words all reach me before I have any idea about what is in the book. This was not...

Customer Experience = Brand Reputation

On Sunday at 4.55pm I scooted into the car park at a Harvey Norman store. My son and I raced inside – he was in need of a desk chair for his school studies. Once we made it inside, the shop assistant greeted us with “we are about to close." I responded, “We will be...

Advice: If It’s Meant to Be, It Is Up to Me

I was asked by LinkedIn in the 'Influencer' program - "What is the best advice I have every received?" Now there are many people who ask me that - a lot and I do believe that the wisdom is delivered to us when we most need it. My life is much different now than it was...

What does Cloud Computing mean to RedBalloon?

Years ago – at the very beginning of time (well it feels that long ago), we began to think about what RedBalloon could look like. I took my hard earned $25k and visited a web developer. $25,000 later I had a very average website with no content management system. The...
