It’s nothing personal, we all do it, so do you, and here is how the process breaks down:
1. We see an email message
2. We give it a two-second glance

So you’re lucky enough to have a group of consistent loyal customers!
The key though, is remembering that you only have to make a few improvements to make a drastic difference to your profitability. It’s no mystery to most business owners, but very little is usually done about it.
First thing’s first – Measure it.
All you have to do is divide what’s in your till by the number of transactions. All you need at this point is an average. Measure it for about a week. Now you…

Do you have a 5-year business plan? I know from experience of asking that question that only a tiny proportion of small businesses (under 25 staff) have anything resembling a one year plan, let alone a 5-year plan.

A great way to drive ever better performance is to know and monitor your personal best performance as one or more measures. For example you might focus on a number of sales in a month, a number of calls in a day, the number of products manufactured, number of orders shipped, and so on.

When all is well, we do not tend to think about our muscles and bones. But when our back spasm and “go out” of alignment, when every movement hurts then we are reminded that maybe we should have taken more care.
Did you know that the body has over 600 muscles, 200 joints and 200 bones? It can be quite a job keeping all that lot in order! And this is where regular Structural Massage can help.
