In a previous article in which I talked about our businesses being like roses, something I didn’t touch upon was the pruning we sometimes have to do in our business. That is the focus of this article.

As business owners we put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into our companies. We start them, nurture them, feed them and watch them grow. We become very attached to them, sometimes too attached, especially when it comes to certain facets of our business.

For those of us who have operated a number of different business, we know how hard it can be to watch something we have built and grown sliding downhill. Very difficult to admit it has become a millstone around our neck. Having business problems not only effects us financially, but also emotionally, personally, and creatively. We start to question our abilities to continue.

However, when certain strategies or facets are not working you need to learn to “prune” them. For example, when we operated Business Minders (a secretarial/assistant service to businesses) we started by offering telephone answering services, letter writing and sending, making call backs and

Management That Works
One may ask, what makes two work environments so different even though it may be the same company? Most frequently the answer is management. Have you ever wondered why you may walk into a bank for instance and you have been treated so well that you look forward to going back there. On the other hand you may walk into the same bank, but a different branch and y

For example, when we operated Business Minders (a secretarial/assistant service to businesses) we started by offering telephone answering services, letter writing and sending, making call backs and answering questions, sending out general information packets, making appointments and scheduling travel. Basically everything an assistant or secretary would do if they worked in an office. We also offered additional services, like database set up, accounting services, and supply purchasing. However, we found after operating for a while, we had to “prune” some of the services as they weren’t helping the business grow but hindering growth.

It is more than just more people equate to more sales. We found that there was also an increase in the size of the sales and the percentage of shoppers who made purchases when huge crowds were present.

All of a sudden the rules of the game change. The conflict could have been prevented.

Unsecured Personal loans are a good short-term loan option, where you do'’t have to borrow a larger amount of money. The major advantage with an unsecured personal loan is that you don’t have to put up security to avail the loan.
