| Welcome to
Business in Berkshire |
|
| Good Morning
|
|
Welcome to 2007. I've been doing some
scribbling over the Christmas period... not too much, couple of hours a day at
most, just needed to keep my hand in and prepare for 2007. Most of these
thoughts I will be sharing with you over the next few weeks as we lay down our
plans for 2007... once stated, it becomes reality! The Jon's Journal piece
below came to me this morning and will probably be the foundations of our Media
Pack for 2007, chopping 16 pages down to 3 or 4. Not bad for 30 minutes work
but how much thinking went into it? Best of luck in 2007, or should I say,
best of clear thinking in making your plans! |

 Why You Really do Need a
Business Coach Every great performer, whether an elite athlete,
business legend, or performing superstar, is surrounded by coaches and
advisors. The role of the Business Coach is to help business owners improve
their business through guiding strategies, support and encouragement. They
typically help the owners of small and medium sized businesses with their
sales, marketing, management, team building and so much more. Just like a
sporting coach, a business coach will make you focus on the game.

 Successfully sell yourself and
your services Do you ever have trouble finding the clients
your want? Do you find it hard to talk about why people should buy
from you? Do you talk to lots of people about what you do, but find
it difficult to convert them to clients? Do your clients ever
question your prices? |

 Government Told to Buy Better to
Save Taxpayers Money As the Christmas shopping period draws to a
close the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) has called on all levels of
government in the UK to remember that better buying will also save money for
the taxpayer. The public sector spends £120 billion per year and better
value for that money can be achieved by involving more small businesses in
public procurement. |

 Preparing for
2007 You could do nothing. Just keep on doing what you have
always been doing. Itll most probably mean that 2007 will be just like
2006. Unless of course your market changes, your customers needs change or the
competition doesnt stand still and becomes more competitive. It seems
like a better idea to do something, but what? Start by setting yourself 5
simple goals that you will aim to achieve by this time next year. Heres a
few ideas to get you started: |
