Minutecoach coaching - Big Ideas for Small Business RSS

Minute by minute

The official good stuff tumblelog for minutecoach, passing on handy hints as and when they pop up.

The idea behind minutecoach is to provide help to the battle-weary business owner and management professional who's work life is getting out of hand. As a professional consultant I've been lending an ear and helping friends, colleagues, managers, directors and total strangers get a grip on things for ages.

What's the biggest innovation at minutecoach? Pay As You Go. A five minute call to ask a question. Ten minutes to talk through an email. It takes just one minute to find out where or if we can help.
Get your business flying and your life back with your wife, husband, lover, kids, dog, cat, or rabbit.

Minutecoach Pay As You Go in the Small Business Resources Cafe, Chesapeake.

This month Minutecoach is featured (and recommended!) in the Small Business Resources Cafe, which is very nice. The article is about that 18-24 month period in the life of a business when start-up assistance is over and exhaustion is becoming a real possibility, struggling to cope with either a lack of business success, or paradoxically, too much.
It’s at this point that fresh perspective and insight can help, but where to get it?  Read the article for a heads up.

Tools for Social Networking - where to find them

So you’ve people following you, and some you’re following, and some who are friends, it’s all getting a bit confusing, and you’re asking yourself where the value is in social networks, who counts and why. Well then, a few social networking tools might be welcome.
Have a little look at http://gist.com to assess the activity and potential of your connections across multiple outlets, and http://friendorfollow.com for Twitter, which will let you know who you are following that is not following you. Er, and vice versa.

In addition, for a list of tools for social media to speed your efforts in realising the value of those connections visit  http://oneforty.com. It is a useful site, but I’d start researching at lunchtime, say around one o’clock, and plan to stop at oh, I don’t know, say one forty… or you’ll be there all day…
