Formerly The Creaticians
You have probably heard people say that you need to create strategic partnerships in your business and I have to agree 100%. Unfortunately, many businesses think in a siloed way.

I’d like to open up an interesting topic of discussion. I have heard many times that we are in business to make money and sincerely I agree with this, otherwise what are we really about?

I thought it was relevant to open up the discussion about social etiquette in a non-confrontational way. It seems that people usually attack this subject from an aggravated rant perspective.

We all engage in a community when we are online. That community, like any other community, has the potential to be damaging to your reputation. There are things you can do to protect yourself and Hayley Solich shares a recent incident which highlights the need to protect your reputation.

There are so many aspects to building a solid online marketing business. Have you considered all the aspects and how is your marketing machine working for you?
I have often described the difference between an amateur and a professional as being the ability to understand the dynamics of whatever it is you are specialising in. By dynamics I think of music, of which I am a professional musician. In music, when you are an amateur, you feel driven to play everything as… [Continue Reading]
I’ve noticed a new trend on Facebook since the introduction of groups where you can just add people to a group without their permission. It seems to me that there are people who are using this to do the ‘Seth Godwin strategy’…create a tribe, then give that tribe what they really want because they will… [Continue Reading]
You can choose to pay big marketing $’s to advertise your business. You can choose to make it really complex, frustrating and confusing.

As many of you may be aware, I have recently been presented with the problem of working out how to sell large sized videos through an E-Commerce shop. I am not one to give in to a problem, but I have to say that this one was really troubling me. My initial thought was that… [Continue Reading]

Hayley shares some business and life wisdom.
In my life there have been many things that I have done, often at my own expense, that when questioned by others I have just had to say, “I don’t know why, I just know I need to do this.”
I added a customised banner to my Facebook Fan Page. Then I added a customised introduction page to my Facebook Fan Page. Then I introduced the same branding elements – the colour scheme, the photo imagery, the symbols and typeface – to my website and wherever I am in communites across the web. The result – my site stats doubled within 3 days.
When delegating there is wisdom in understanding the person to whom you are delegating tasks. Hayley Solich shares about the three types of people and how you can positively manage your delegation to each type of person.
A young man stood in a room with the Master who had been teaching him for most of his life. He turned to the master who was suddenly very serious. The Master spoke. “Son, I have taught you all that I know but now you must learn from the one who knows you better than any other. This one has all the answers to all your questions. This one can teach you how to overcome every obstacle that stands in your pathway. This one has the amazing advantage of knowing who you were, who you are and who you will be. Are you ready to meet them?”

The big ‘P’ word can be the cause of many a job being left undone, which is a major cause of stress in our lives.
I know when I am on a ‘bender’ – that is, a week where I just can’t get myself into gear, the big ‘P’ word takes over.
