3 Ways to Turn Holiday Shoppers Into Year-Round Customers
"Hi Lisa. I think more entrepreneurs and small business owners should definitely think this way. Thanks for examples of making customer experience great and thanks to Herby of the BillionSuccess blog for sharing these great tips with the BizSugar community. "Should You Avoid Using PLR Content?
"Hi Lynn, Quite a controversial topic indeed! Thanks to Kelly McCausey for sharing it with the BizSugar community. I tend to avoid sweeping statements like "you should never..." except in areas of obvious bad karma like spamming or ripping off other Websites without permission. Yet, the degrees of gray here deserve discussion."Not Lost In Translation: Cendrine Marrouat
"Hi Sian, Cendrine is not only a member of the BizSugar community, but has been featured as a Contributor of the Week and always keeps the conversation interesting. Her observations about social media and online writing are particularly relevant to today's entrepreneur who must use many of these tools to network and communicate. I'm glad you had a chance to chat with Cendrine, and thanks for sharing the interview with the whole BizSugar community!"A vision can lead to increased productivity, profitability
"Hi Brad, I think vision can help even solopreneurs or very small businesses because it helps you focus on what opportunities you do want to pursue and what opportunities you don't. Since entrepreneurs are always learning new things, there is a danger of drifting away in pursuit of every new opportunity you see. A vision keeps you grounded and on track while still flexible enough to experiment with how that vision can be realized. "Reader Question: Turning a Hobby into a Business
"Great advice, Jenny. I'd add that people who have been working on something as a hobby really must think in a totally different way when they convert that hobby to a business. Some might find that the hobby is less enjoyable when the pressures of business are superimposed. Others may feel suddenly liberated by doing something they love full-time. "The Price Earnings Ratio – Everything You Need To Know
"Hi Ian, Thanks so much for sharing your post with the BizSugar community and for giving us a brief overview of the Price Earnings Ratio. For small business owners, I think the value of a company they have built with their own two hands is often a bit subjective. It certainly wouldn't hurt many small business owners and entrepreneurs, even from a very early stage, to have a look at the value of their business from a more objective viewpoint, perhaps looking at it from the standpoint of how others may see it too."The Uselessness of "Constructive" Criticism
"Steve, I'm not sure whether I agree with your assessment that there is no such thing as constructive criticism. I can, however, say that if there is such an animal, this isn't it. Focusing on such minor issues as your critic did while ignoring the value of the free content you were providing seems more than short-sighted. It sounds like the actions of a person who simply likes to criticize. There are, unfortunately, loads of people like this in the world and the best lesson they can teach us is how to stay focused and not let ourselves be distracted. Thanks so much for sharing with the BizSugar community. "Subscribe
