  • Prioritise Like a Pro

    Tracy’s content piece this week is all about the Eisenhower Matrix, a brilliant tool that helps you prioritise that big long never ending to do list. Named after the former US President, this technique allows you to decide what is urgent and what is important and will help you in all aspects of life. 

     

    KEY TAKEAWAYS 

    • The Eisenhower Matrix is a task management tool that helps you organise and prioritise tasks by urgency and importance. Using the tool, you’ll divide your tasks into four boxes based on the tasks you’ll do first, the tasks you’ll schedule for later, the tasks you’ll delegate, and the tasks you’ll delete. 
    • Urgent tasks require your immediate attention. When something is urgent, it must be done now, and there are clear consequences if you don’t complete these tasks within a certain timeline. These are tasks you can’t avoid, and the longer you delay these tasks, the more stress you’ll likely experience, which can lead to burnout.
    • Important tasks may not require immediate attention, but these tasks help you achieve your long-term goals. Just because these tasks are less urgent doesn’t mean they don’t matter. You’ll need to thoughtfully plan for these tasks so you can use your resources efficiently.
    • The top left quadrant is: Important and Urgent - Tasks with deadlines or consequences. 
    • The top right quadrant is: Important and Not Urgent - Tasks with unclear deadlines that contribute to long term success. 
    • The bottom left quadrant is: Not Important and Urgent - Tasks that must be done but don’t require your specific skill set. 
    • The bottom right quadrant is Not Important and Not Urgent - Distractions and unnecessary tasks. 

     

    BEST MOMENTS

    ‘I have two kinds of problems, the urgent and the important. The urgent are not important and the important are never urgent’ 

    ‘When you give something a date, suddenly it has a deadline’ 

    ‘Successful people will put time in their diaries to do those quadrant 2 tasks’ 

    ‘Don’t let the ones who got rid of their tellys make you feel like you’re doing something wrong’

  • Branding With Andrew Hope

    This week is a little different, we are bringing our regular inspirational story from business, but our guest this week will also be giving you some great tips to get started with your Branding Strategy. Andrew Hope has been in the creative world since leaving school many years ago. Following not one but two redundancies, in 2009 Andrew went into business for himself and created Hope Creative and Branding and Design Agency helping businesses create and maximise on their identity.

     

    KEY TAKEAWAYS 

    • If you can get your brand strategy in place from the beginning, then your identity will progress from that, your identity will then connect with your marketing. 
    • Six simple tips from Andrew on how to save you money when branding for a small business or start-up. Creatie it from the heart, describe how it looks and feels, connect with your customers, tell your brand story, keep the brand on your plan, and own your brand. 
    • Create your brand from your heart: Great brands are all about personality and emotion and that comes from you as the founder. Audiences connect more with brands they can see people care about. 
    • Describe the look and feel of your brand: You need to clearly communicate it to your target audience. How does it look, how does it feel, what are you. 
    • Connect with your customers: Make every touch point a great experience for your audience and that great experience will keep them coming back again and again. 
    • Tell your brand story: If you have a great backstory of why you set the business up, then tell it! Words are key, tell people why you chose that business name, why your tagline is what it is, get those case studies out there and why you do what you do. 
    • Keep brand on your plan: After your launch, many businesses forget that they need to update and evolve their brand when launching new products and expanding into new territories. 
    • Own your brand: This is all about the responsibility of a business owner. Protect your brand and nurture it. Brand damage can devastate your business, keep your brand under your control and keep the narrative about what you want it to be. 

     

    BEST MOMENTS

    ‘There’s a lot of people in business who will just help you’ 

    ‘There are some good networking groups and some not so much, but you have to give them a go’

    ‘To me branding is the key’

    ‘Branding is all about you and your personality that reflects your business’

  • Market Update For Property Businesses

    The property market has always been one of the most reactive sectors, and one of Tracy’s businesses is a property business, buying, doing up, renting, and selling. So when the state of the market changes, it affects her income streams, so as part of her new blog series, Tracy will be giving you a market update and a reaction to where we are in the second half of 2022. 

     

    KEY TAKEAWAYS 

    • In 2020 the government introduced the stamp duty holiday which meant that it was a lot cheaper for people to buy property. Covid didn’t have as much of an effect on the housing market so when the holiday was introduced, people started buying. This led to there being more demand than supply. 
    • The stamp duty holiday actually did the reverse of what the government wanted. Because demand rose and supply fell, prices went up, and the first time buyers who were supposed to be being helped onto the property ladder were priced out. 
    • Residential transactions have fallen by nearly 8% compared to in May. 
    • Residential transactions for June 2022 are 50% lower than in June 2021, which was the last month of the stamp duty holiday.
    • According to a recent Which report, in a normal year most estate agents have about 50 houses for sale, this year they only have about 20. 

     

    BEST MOMENTS

    ‘It did the exact opposite of what it was supposed to do’

    ‘The speed of growth is now slowing down’ 

    ‘I do have a crystal ball, but it ain’t going to work that well’

  • Turning Passion Into Profit - Real Life Journey With Ken Abbott

    What happens when the university degree you get is something you are unlikely to ever have a career in? For Ken Abbott of Ken Abbott Photography, you go off round Europe on $10 a day and fall into a corporate life, before waking up many years later and turning your passion into profit. Tune in as Ken reveals his real life journey and how he turned his passion into a profitable business, capturing life as it is for individuals and businesses alike.

     

    KEY TAKEAWAYS 

    • When you’re working contract or freelance you are at the mercy of your clients sometimes. If you only have one or two clients bringing most of the money in then if they decide to leave or circumstances mean you no longer have their business, then you’ll see your income drop dramatically. 
    • As a freelance or contract worker you need to make sure you don’t become accommodating to the point where people take advantage of you. Make sure it’s clear what is expected of you and the client and if you’re asked to do more then you should be charging them more. 
    • The use of photography for businesses has changed dramatically over the years, it went from needing a photographer for an ad in a magazine, to the need for professional shots for social media. Because it’s now easier to publish photos, you need to take more of them because you don’t want to be posting the same ones all the time. 
    • When it comes to headshots for your LinkedIn profile etc, Ken thinks that they’re far too formal and you don’t actually get any of yourself across in the photos. If you make it much more natural then people won’t have a disconnect between the headshot you and the real you. 
    • People don’t get their photography style until they’ve taken 10,000 pictures. 

     

    BEST MOMENTS

    ‘We all have our plans in life but things can just fall your way’ 

    ‘Photography is how you interact with the subject’ 

    ‘Being a professional photographer is so much more than being able to take good pictures’

    ABOUT THE GUEST 

    “Photography is and always has been my passion.  It inspires me like nothing else. People paint, draw and sculpt but I take photographs because I believe that they capture the world around us like nothing else can. I specialise in informal and (mostly) natural light photography for events, venues, performances and portraits. So if you are looking for photography that is natural, 'real' and taken with an unfussy approach please get in touch for a chat.” - Ken Abbott

  • Spanner in The Works

    A content piece this week all about some trials and tribulations Tracy has had in relation to borrowing money for a limited company that she is the sole director of.  Whilst a very complex and confusing situation, tune in as Tracy takes a fun but serious look at a problem impacting sole director companies.

     

    KEY TAKEAWAYS 

     

    • A new judgement in February 2022 has led to new case law that is causing a little unrest in the world suppliers/partners especially lenders of money to companies with a single director.
    • When setting up a limited company in many cases people use the standard models of association (rules for the company).
    • This ruling may also impact companies that become sole director companies due to the resignation/departure of the other directors!
    • A directors meeting, according to the model article, must not be less than two people. So essentially it’s impossible to have a directors meeting as a sole director. 

     

    BEST MOMENTS

     

    ‘One judgement can affect other people coming behind them’ 

    ‘If you haven't got two people as a minimum then you can’t make a decision’

    ‘Lenders might want you to appoint another director, which you don’t want to do’

  • The Networking Rebel With Caroline Andrew-Johnstone

    Do you want to be a more confident networker? Tracy’s guest this week on Sweat Grit & Hustle is Caroline Andrew-Johnstone. Tracy has known Caroline for 6/7 years and she eats, sleeps and breathes networking. With her Networking Rebel business she is now sharing her wealth of knowledge in this space.

     

    KEY TAKEAWAYS 

    • When she attended her first networking event, Caroline was shocked to see the difference in attitude between people at that group and the people she had worked with in the past. The people in the group weren't selfish and had a common goal of making everyone else in the group successful in their businesses. 
    • After becoming a leader of her networking group and having plenty of experience in space, Caroline finally got the kick she needed to launch herself as the Networking Rebel. She gave away her first 20 sessions for free and that really helped her show people that she had the skills to help businesspeople. 
    • 20% of networking is turning up. It’s as simple as that, get in front of people and at least be in the room. 
    • The most important part of networking is the bit most people forget to do. Follow up flawlessly, without being annoying. Build your network and build your sales.
    • Caroline says she doesn’t give networking advice, she gives confidence to networkers. Confidence is the most important skill you need when giving your elevator pitch. 

     

    BEST MOMENTS

    ‘They had a vested interest in making each other succeed, which I’d never seen before’

    ‘That’s Yorkshire grit isn’t it Tracy’

    ‘Why don’t you just ask an expert’

Listen in to find out how to get ahead of the curve and if your business idea has the legs or not.

    • Who's your Audience - Do you know who your target customers are? The better you know who will be buying what you’re selling, the better you can plan and market your business. You’ll be more successful if you’re meeting the needs of your target customer. Get yourself an avatar of who your customer is. 
    • Understand your Mission - What is the purpose of your business and how are you going to achieve it. This could be a financial mission or a philanthropic one where you give to others.

  • The Written Word Works With Tim Martin

    After 20 years working in corporate, Tim Martin decided to run away and do some real work. With an obsession for music and a passion for helping unsigned artists understand how to market their music, Tim has been a published author in the music press for some time. Realising this same skill could help other businesses, Tim set to work expanding his business to help all business owners with their written words for marketing and set about to prove The Written Word Works!

     

    KEY TAKEAWAYS 

    • Tim has a lot of friends making music and with the likes of Spotify not paying smaller artists very well they’re struggling to make money. Tim decided to lend his marketing skills to help artists who had lost income during the pandemic when no gigs were on. 
    • Tim believes that there will always be a want for physical media. Think about how long ago the Kindle came out, they haven't stopped printing books since then. There’s a resurgence in vinyl collecting, and you can still walk down the highstreet and buy a CD.
    • Tim’s advice is that if you don’t set off after your passion, you’ll never do it. If you’re really passionate you’ll be able to find the time to make the commitment’ 
    • People skills are the most important when it comes to selling and marketing someone. You need to understand who they are, what they’re about, get to the core of why the audience should care. 

     

    BEST MOMENTS

    ‘We’ve all had to use our skills to look for alternative ways to make money’ 

    ‘Fundamentally, I do it to put dog food on the table’

  • Pricing Strategies

    Pricing for your products or services shouldn't be an afterthought, it is a key part of panning a business, product and/or a services launch. This week on Sweat, Grit & Hustle, Tracy is covering a question from one of her clients who wanted to know if she just used direct costs (to produce her product) to work out a selling price, or should she include general costs such as accounting software, shopify fees, and card transaction fees etc.

     

    KEY TAKEAWAYS 

     

    • Whatever we sell, we want to at a minimum cover all the costs, not just the cost and time it takes to make the product or deliver the service, it should cover everything including the tax we have to pay. 
    • The seven common pricing strategies to help you plan for your future business, products and services are as follows:
    • 1. Value Based Pricing - Value-based pricing is a strategy of setting prices primarily based on a consumer's perceived value of a product or service. Value pricing is customer-focused pricing, meaning companies base their pricing on how much the customer believes a product is worth.
    • 2. Competitive Pricing - Competitive pricing is the process of selecting strategic price points to best take advantage of a product or service based market relative to competition. This pricing method is used more often by businesses selling similar products since services can vary from business to business, while the attributes of a product remain similar. This type of pricing strategy is generally used once a price for a product or service has reached a level of equilibrium, which occurs when a product has been on the market for a long time and there are many substitutes for the product.
    • 3. Price Skimming Pricing - Price skimming is a product pricing strategy by which a firm charges the highest initial price that customers will pay and then lowers it over time. As the demand of the first customers is satisfied and competition enters the market, the firm lowers the price to attract another, more price-sensitive segment of the population. The skimming strategy gets its name from "skimming" successive layers of cream, or customer segments, as prices are lowered over time.
    • 4. Cost Plus Pricing - Variable cost-plus pricing is a pricing method whereby the selling price is established by adding a markup to total variable costs. The expectation is that the markup will contribute to meeting all or a part of the fixed costs and yield some level of profit. Variable cost-plus pricing is particularly useful in competitive scenarios, such as contract bidding, but it is not suitable in situations where fixed costs are a major component of total costs.
    • 5. Penetration Pricing - Penetration pricing is a marketing strategy used by businesses to attract customers to a new product or service by offering a lower price during its initial offering. The lower price helps a new product or service penetrate the market and attract customers away from competitors. Market penetration pricing relies on the strategy of using low prices initially to make a wide number of customers aware of a new product.
    • 6. Economy Pricing - Economy pricing is a pricing strategy where products have lower prices due to low production costs. Economy pricing allows businesses to price products according to their production value because they don't acquire the extra costs of advertising or marketing.
    • 7. Dynamic Pricing - Dynamic pricing, also called real-time pricing, is an approach to setting the cost for a product or service that is highly flexible. The goal of dynamic pricing is to allow a company that sells goods or services over the Internet to adjust prices on the fly in response to market demands.

     

    BEST MOMENTS

     

    ‘You’ve got to work backwards’ 

    ‘Value based pricing is not about trying to undercut your competitor, in fact it’s the opposite’

    ‘We know the prices of new tech is going to drop, but some people want it now’ 

    ‘If you are trading time for money then you need to make sure you’re able to deliver at a rate that gives you the profit you want’

  • Real Life Journeys With David Wright

    David Wright of Wright Building Design is a friend, brilliant young business person, and contact from Tracy’s networking group. David joins Tracy this week on Sweat, Grit & Hustle to talk about how it’s never too late to get back into education, why you should never settle for mundane, the benefits of networking, and how he started his own business. 

     

    KEY TAKEAWAYS 

    • At the age of 23 David decided that life didn't have to happen by accident, it could happen by design. So David decided to go to University and studied Architecture Technology as a mature student.
    • After he’d qualified, David worked as an Architecture Technologist, but by 30 once again decided nothing had to stand still and even with a guaranteed furlough wage, left all that and went into business for himself with Wright Building Design.
    • When you’re looking for any architectural designer you should find referrals through people you already know and people they’ve worked with in the past. This way you know if they’re right for you and your project. Once you have made contact, ask them about their insurance policy and find out what problems they’ve had to overcome, give them a real interview. 
    • When it comes to networking David believes that BMI is a vehicle for him to get to talk to people who want to talk to him. 
    • David is part of an exclusive networking group, meaning that he’s the architecture expert in that group and no one else can join and take that seat. 

     

    BEST MOMENTS

    ‘I took work quite seriously so it’s nice to give it a bit of a break’ 

    ‘If you’re trying to describe something to somebody, words only get so far. If you can find an image or sketch it out it’s easier to communicate’ 

    ‘Networking is a big part of growing your business’

    ‘Don’t think you know everything, ask questions’ 

    ‘If you plan properly, you won’t fail’

    After leaving school and going into the construction industry, at the age of 23 David decided that life didn't have to happen by accident, it could happen by design! So off David went to University and studied Architecture Technology as a mature student... yep at 23/24 he was indeed one of the oldest by far on his course. Once qualified, David began life as an employed Architecture Technologist, but by 30, once again decided nothing had to stand still and even with a guaranteed furlough wage, left all that and went into business for himself with Wright Building Design.
