Sadly, far too many managers are left to their own devices when it comes to managing their teams.

But, come on…be honest. Most of us have areas we need to develop! 😀

Tip 250) RingGo - great app for car parking!

30/5/2019

I'm quite surprised that everyone doesn’t already know about this nifty little parking app, so in case you are one of those who doesn’t know, I will tell you!

RingGo allows you to pay for parking via their app. The thing I love about it most is that you can top up your parking from wherever you are, rather than having to run back to the car in a panic! (Assuming you are not in a set time zone of course.)

I never have change on me, so I find this really useful. You can add multiple cars, and it emails you a receipt. (Anyone else always losing the little tickets you get and forgetting to put them through the business?)

I love little time-saving apps like these. I think I have an app for just about everything :-)

Saving you time!

I came across this fab piece of free software the other day which I thought I'd share.

It allows you to download YouTube videos directly to your PC or laptop. It takes seconds and best of all it's free!

They also do software to convert YouTube videos to MP3s. 

Here is the link

Happy downloading!

I love this guest post from Gail. A brilliant reminder that what looks like a small thing on your To Do list can often end up taking a lot more of your time than you planned. 

Small Business Tip from @Gailreidartist
Every Detail Takes Time. Illustrated in the spirit of “a problem shared” through the medium of “ordering corner protectors for shipping framed artwork”.

I should have known it wouldn’t just take an hour to order folded cardboard corner protectors ...

If you are going to take the time to promote yourself on social media, please, please, please get into the habit of checking your message request box daily.
If someone is not on your friends list. they will NOT show up in your main messenger inbox. I have emailed a few businesses recently  and can see a week later that they have still not seen the message. You could be losing loads of business! 

Here's how to check your filtered messages on FB messenger...​

Tip 138) Must read book for ENTREPRENEURS LOOKING to create a Laptop LIFESTYLE

The 4-Hour Work Week is a brilliant book if you are looking to create a business that you can run from anywhere in the world. I read this book many years ago when it was first published, and it taught me to structure my business so I can pretty much work from any country with an internet signal! I've coached from the beach in Thailand, poolside in Bali, and written watching sunsets in Egypt and sunrises in Spain! 

Here is the most important lesson I took from the book...
​
Only do what only you can do!

​Delegate or outsource all menial tasks. Automate where possible. If you have someone to delegate to, then delegate. If not, pay someone £10-£20 an hour to do it. Trying to do everything themselves is one of the biggest mistakes business owners and entrepreneurs make – usually because it saves money or because they think it's a quick and easy thing to do.
