  19. The world of retail is a complex and confusing one for a lot of people first getting into it. Most of the stores which get opened will never make it past their first year, with even fewer still making it to their second, and this makes it hard to feel secure with a shop.

By avoiding these, you give yourself the best odds of finding success.  In this post we'll explore why you need to avoid doing the following:

  20. Running a business is an exciting and potentially lucrative activity, but there are some downsides. One of the big ones is the need to keep accurate and professional books.   Accounting isn’t something you can shirk, since as soon as you open your door to paying customers, HMRC wants to know about it and wields some hefty penalties if they catch you out.

    That said, once you accept it is part of doing business, it’s not that much of a chore. In fact, it can be invigorating and motivating when you see how your business finances are working and performing, and figure out ways to become even more profitable.  Read on for some of the top bookkeeping tips and tricks for self employed and small businesses.

You also need great communication channels when it comes to the customer service side of your company.  But how can you manage all this when you are merely a home business?  This blog post will discuss the most effective ways to get information across to your customers and how to provide the best customer service, even as a home business.

  22. Like most business owners, you want to see more traffic coming through your website. More traffic means more potential customers, and that's always a good thing!

    Your business website is the backbone of your business in that it generates more leads than most other means of marketing. It allows customers from all over the world to discover and purchase from your business. Therefore, you will want your website to be engaging and high-performing so that you can attract and maintain as many happy customers as possible. 

    Should you feel that your business website is suffering in terms of traffic, then here are some top tips to utilise to increase your traffic and sales.

If you want it, maybe now is the time to figure out if you’re ready for it.  Read on to discover what to think about when buying your first house.

  24. Around 60% of homes in England and Wales fill their kettles, clean their clothes and wash their hair in hard water.

    Not all areas of the UK are affected by hard water. Rain falls as “soft” water, but as it trickles through certain rocks and soils (particularly limestone and chalk) it will naturally collect traces of minerals like magnesium and calcium, becoming “hard”. It’s these minerals that like to stick around and cause havoc within our nice, clean homes.

  25. For many of us, working from home is a blessing; you get to avoid the hustle and bustle of a busy office, don’t get stuck in traffic and you have one of the easiest commutes ever.  It’s also incredibly flexible and makes working around having young children a lot easier in most instances.  It’s not without its downfalls and certainly doesn’t suit everyone.  For me, I wouldn’t change it for the world and hope I can continue to work from home for the foreseeable future.

  27. We spend most of our time at work, yet many office blocks have workspaces that are dull and uninviting.  It’s well-documented that creating an inspiring office environment can boost staff morale and productivity, but how do you go about it?  One task to focus on is to make an office feel more homely and cozy.  This will make it a place where employees love to be and feel comfortable working all day and less mundane.  So how to make your workspace cozy? 

  28. You can do a lot with less. Redecorating is time-consuming as well as expensive, but you can completely redesign your home's style with these low-cost and free tips. You do not always have to get the paints and wallpaper out either.
