Hello, welcome to another Tool Of The Week episode. This week we are discussing the benefits of Toggl Track for time tracking in your business. I have used Toggl for years and firmly believe it is vital for all businesses - whether they are product or service based.

If you can't measure you can't manage. If you don't know accurately how much time each activity is taking in your business then you can't manage your business and make data-based management decisions.

Listen to why Toggl is necessary, how to set it up and use it, and why you need time tracking.

Welcome to the next episode of the Best Business Books Review. In this episode, we will be reviewing The New Hustle by Emma Isaacs. We will discuss what was good about it, and what was not so good and pull out all the best gold nuggets of wisdom that we can. This book is fantastic if you have a team or are in a leadership role. However, I was very disappointed by the inconsistent branding. The cover says The New Hustle fighting the hustle culture - yet - the book was all about celebrating HUSTLE. I was really looking forward to reading a book as per the blurb and was infuriated when it did not deliver. Even worse, it glorified burnout for ambition's sake. This book would have been more powerful if it was a more insightful and transparent memoir of the support and services Emma had that allowed her the ambition she encourages.

PS I am so sorry about the squeaky sound in the background!!! I had my little one with me.

Do you have employees or manage a team? If so, then this episode is for you. We will talk about the recent court case that saw a US man receive $450,000 in compensation from the ex-employer that gave him a surprise birthday party dispute the gent asking for this not to be held.

Why does this matter to you? Because regardless of fault or circumstances, there are lessons all business owners can learn from this. This podcast will go through what the company could have done better and how you can put processes in place to prevent this from happening to you.

If you have any further insight into this case, I would love to continue this conversation on my inst https://www.instagram.com/bonniewix.biz/

Clickbait title? Yes. Absolute truth bomb? Also, Yes!!! If you are struggling in your business, no matter what it is you are struggling with, I can guarantee the issue stems from this number 1 mistake.

Is your business struggling with time? Are customers becoming unhappy? Or even worse, are you not attracting any customers? Is your marketing strategy throwing spaghetti at the wall and hoping it sticks?

Then you are suffering from this mistake that could kill your business.

I know... Because I recorded this episode specifically for myself.

Can you guess what it is?

Foundations are important to all businesses and a cornerstone of those foundations is your Brand kit. Don't have one? I have a free 48page brand clarity workbook available at:
