Knowledge Is Power

Hi, Helen Here. 

Although it may seem like anyone can be an expert on the Internet these days, knowledge is still a key advantage for small to medium sized business. Yes, it is true that if you do a quick google search about any topic you will be bombarded with never ending information. But do not be fooled, there is a big difference between knowledge and information.

Sir Francis Bacon was the first person attributed to the phrase "Knowledge is Power'. I am sure that you have all heard it in at some stage in your life, but do you fully understand it?

Knowledge = options = power

When we are business educated, we learn new things that we were previously unaware of. This gives us the ability to make better business decisions, come up with more evolved and intelligent business ideas and thoughts, thus making our business more successful overall.

This then leads to into more opportunities for you and your business. This high level of options in your business life gives you the freedom to choose from many different pathways, and that freedom is power. That freedom allows you to have the power to choose your businesses pathway forward, it allows you to have the knowledge to overcome obstacles.

If you read a book written by genius in rocket-science, you will absorb something. The same goes for if you have a business coach, you will absorb business ideas.

We are all looking for a business edge these days, usually an edge over your competitors. How do you think you are going to get your winning edge?

Knowledge brings confidence, and confidence leads to success and there is no better way to build your confidence than understanding key business drivers.

If Your Profitability Aim Is Nothing, You Will Reach It Every Time

Hi, Helen Here!  In all my years of coaching and mentoring small to medium business owners and their teams I always tell them to set goals. Usually they will make goals about the obvious things; customers, competition marketing etc. But what ceases to amaze me is that they forget the most important and obvious goal; profit. I know that every business hopes that they will make a profit, few make it a measure of success though. Many times, small business owners look at what they pay themselves as profit, but what you pay yourself if what you get paid for doing a job. Profit is what you gain from the investment of your time and talent.  Without profit what you have really done is just created a really hard job for yourself. The problem is you see, many business owners become fixated on growth but what they don’t understand is that without profit, it is simply more work.  Profit is measured of the return of your interest, set goals for profit leave and make decisions ...

Knowledge Improves Performance and Profitability

Hi, Helen Here.  It is no secret that having business knowledge improves your performance and profitability. But, unfortunately a lot of people don’t understand the concept and how to harness it.  Using knowledge in your business doesn’t mean that you have to think up clever new ideas, products or services. It is much more straightforward. Useful and important knowledge can be the experience you gain from your employees, the designs and process of your goods or services, the way you sort your documentation, your plans for future activities and much more.  The challenge isn’t gaining and being exposed to this knowledge, it is harnessing it and using it in a productive way. You can gain the knowledge by your customers, your employee’s or suppliers, the market, organisational memory and the list can go on.   So, consider the measurable benefits of capturing the knowledge and using it effectively. There are a range of outcomes that could happen.  Maybe the...
