Volume 8, Issue 4: Social Media: Using Pinterest for Business

Since its launch in 2010, Pinterest has dramatically grown in its popularity with currently more than 48 million users worldwide. Its membership has also been steadily increasing in Australia with an estimated 450,000 members as of March 2012 (Nielsen, March 2012). Pinterest is an online pinup board, where users can organise their inspirations, interests and ideas on virtual pinboards, typically around niches like fashion, food, sports, travel, events and many more. Each image or pin is linked back to a particular website, making Pinterest a visual version of social bookmarking sites such as Stumbleupon or Digg.

Volume 8, Issue 4: Activity Vs Results

Have you ever had staff that are in early, busy all day and leave late? The impression is they are busting their buns for your business, but in reality you sit back and think “What do they do all day - what have they actually accomplished?” Yes, plenty of activity, but where is the result? On the flip side, this team member probably thinks they are doing an amazing job for you and would be shocked you think otherwise!

When asked why he was tackling such a difficult task at his age, he replied, “It’s the earliest age I have left.” When he was 84 years old he declared, Old men retain their intellects well enough, if only they keep their minds active and fully employed.

Volume 8, Issue 3: Are you a transformational leader?

Management and leadership are complimentary but very different skills. Confusion reigns around the difference between the two. Yes, both management and leadership are about leading people. It’s in the outcomes however, we see a vast difference. The key differentiator is one is transactional (managerial leadership) and, the other is transformational (leadership).

Volume 8, Issue 3: Falling In Love With Your Business Again

Often we get to a point, especially in challenging times, when we “fall out of love” with our business. Even without challenges, we can get to a point where we’ve forgotten why we went into business in the first place. Not only that, but the constant day to day drudgery which seems never ending, can cloud your vision of all the great things your business can do! For your family, the community, staff, suppliers and business partners.

Volume 8, Issue 2: Manage Opposition & Criticism

Life isn’t one long race, but lots of short ones. Every day has it’s own set of things to achieve and challenges to face and they vary from day to day. To be successful is to keep plugging away – we all need perseverance.

A manager once addressed two thousand members of his firm’s sales force during a sales convention.
“Did the Wright brothers ever quit?” he asked his staff. “No!” they responded. “Did Charles Lindbergh ever quit?” “No!” they shouted. “Did Lance Armstrong ever quit?” “No!”

Volume 8, Issue 2: Don’t Abdicate Your Financial Responsibility

Say you’d handed your bank account details to a chronic gambler. How well would you sleep at night? How long before you had no money left? I guess that not many people would be silly enough to give access to their bank account to a chronic gambler, and yet many business owners hand all of their business’ financial information to a bookkeeper, accountant or an internal finance employee without ever looking at the numbers themselves until it is all too late.
