Ways to stay motivated when you feel underappreciated

Hey ladies , so far we have discussed ways to stay motivated, despite an overwhelming lack of appreciation that you may feel. Another important key to achieving this is to foster self-confidence , even when nobody else is giving you the encouragement you crave.

It’s also important that you do your part in building a workplace culture that prioritizes appreciation in your business

Here are a few ideas:

Make it a point to go out of your way to say something nice about your staff per day. It could be something as simple as saying, “I thought you did a really nice job on that decor. You should be proud.”

People like to feel needed. When asking someone for help, make sure you explain that you specifically sought them out because you know they’re good at creative design (or whatever the case may be).

If you’re working on a big project with a team of people, consider bringing in coffee, snacks, or lunch one day. A physical token of gratitude for hard work will lead to an instant boost in motivation.

Pay attention to the details. If you ask someone to send you some information on a specific client and they do so immediately upon returning to their office, thank them for being so speedy with the response. These little things rarely get noticed by others.

By making your workers feel appreciated in small ways, you can do your part of creating a new culture. You’ll notice that acts of appreciation become contagious. Before you know it, an entirely new culture could emerge, with motivation and happiness on the horizon.

How to start a successful side hustle

Hey ladies, welcome to the second working week in 2021. From the profile of many of our members , we realised that a lot of us still have our regular 9-5 job and are looking for ways to venture into our business. As our first post for the year, we thought to address the concerns of this class of people, before we roll out our business growth techniques for the year.

If you’ve ever thought about starting a side hustle, you’re probably motivated by one of three reasons:

It’s a hobby, and you’re feeding your interest during your free time.

You’re supplementing your primary income. Maybe you have financial goals you want to reach, and having an extra income source will help get you there quicker.

You plan to transition into entrepreneurship full time, so you’re testing the waters with a side hustle before taking the big leap and quitting your full-time job. 

Regardless of your motivations, you’re about to start a business. And the moment you expect people to start paying you money in exchange for value that you provide, you can no longer treat it as a passive endeavor. But when you have a full-time job—in addition to a life that you’d really like to enjoy—that’s easier said than done.

There’s a reason it’s called a side hustle: you need to work hard to make it a success. Follow the tips listed in this post to get you started.

We remain committed to supporting you.

Pre-planning your social media campaign

Hey ladies , good morning. This week , we plan to focus on social media marketing and ways to improve our social media content.

Social media marketing is an ideal way to promote your business. It’s free, it’s easy, and often, it’s fun.

The problem with social media is that it’s also overwhelming and unwieldy, and can be difficult to track the results . To get started with this let’s have a recap of some basics that will enable us achieve the expected results after this series.

You may want to check post for a bucket list of items that you may have missed on your social media page. Do this to ensure you :

1. Upload the appropriate pictures.

2. Complete the major profile sections on all your pages – Twitter , LinkedIn , Facebook and Instagram.

3. Follow influencers or key personalities and accounts in your industry.

4. Integrate social media tools on your website or blog.

5. Decide what results you want from social media. – Whether you want to : – – Increase readership of your stories, posts or blogs.

– Get more email subscribers.

– Find more followers across other social media sites (i.e. promoting a Facebook fan page on your Twitter feed).

– Increase influence (credibility and expertise) with your target market.

– Built rapport with your target market (i.e. showing you’re fun or friendly).

Identifying and ensuring all the above points are implemented is a sure way to enhance your social media growth yourself this year. You may not really need to outsource your social media management , especially if you are a small business.

Remember, you can always reach out to us for any support that you may need.

Keep winning.

Best email app for your business

Hey ladies, we trust you are keeping well and have incorporated email strategies into your business growth plans, even as you select the best email app for you.

It’s impossible to create a list of the best email apps out there today without adding the ubiquitous Gmail. If you use an Android device this app will usually come preloaded, and many people who need a free email client will turn to Gmail for an easy-to-use app. Gmail especially makes sense if you use the rest of the Google suite of products. Partnering Gmail with Google Doc, Google Sheets, and Google Hangout gives you a whole free cloud-based business ecosystem that allows you to take your work anywhere. The app supports multiple accounts and notifications, making it simple to check everything from your business and personal accounts all in one place. Stay organized by creating folders, tagging emails, and starring emails so you don’t forget to follow up. Even if you don’t regularly use a Gmail address, the app also supports a variety of IMAP and POP email accounts as well as Exchange.

Gmail also allows you to replace the Gmail domain name on your email address with something custom- like your website, you can do that and add co-workers. 

Remember we are available to support you all the way.

Best EMAIL APP FOR YOUR BUSINESS

Microsoft Outlook

Hey ladies….today, we would highlight some points on the use of Microsoft office as a mailing platform for your business.

Anyone who has spent time working an office job has probably used Microsoft Outlook at some point. However, if you haven’t tried it in a while, it’s worth taking another look. After acquiring the mobile app Acompli, Microsoft revamped the mobile version of Outlook to be one of the best apps for email out there. Compatible with both iOS and Android devices, the Outlook mobile app helps you coordinate not only email but also attachments, contacts, and calendars. If you ever feel like you’ve been buried under a pile of emails and can’t get out, you’ll appreciate Outlook’s quick swipe controls which allow you to get a handle on your inbox with seamless swiping. Microsoft Outlook is compatible with lots of other email programs including Exchange, Office 365, Outlook.com, Gmail, Yahoo Mail, and iCloud accounts, making it great for multitasking. Microsoft is constantly keeping it up to date with helpful new features and the best security. Finally, it connects with Microsoft’s business suite of products for cloud integration on a single ecosystem- this means that you can integrate with your business’s website domain for your entire staff.

Are you looking for ways to get started on this, remember we are available to support you all the way.
