A Little Inspiration

Running a Business requires sacrifices and a realisation that sometimes things are just bigger than ourselves. 

If you are a business owner, you must have a vision for the future you want to create. This future may extend to the future of your children so planning, patience and action are necessary. 

Read the article (link at the end) for inspiration -  two individuals came to the UK and had a vision. They succeeded in making changes to positively affect the lives of the future, more than their own. One of the granddaughters is Baroness Verma who has continued the vision to make changes for the greater good. So you never know what the ending will be when you start. 

So when you feel stuck or overwhelmed, remember those who have walked before you and the challenges they faced AND overcame. 

You can do it! 

The Founder of RGS is the third generation in business. Her grandfather started life in the UK the same as the two gentleman in the article. He sought to benefit the lives of the family members he brought to the UK and those overseas through education and business. He succeeded. Her grandmother also worked hard in business so man or woman, we can succeed in anything we put our minds & energy into. 

Success is dressed as many things but no matter how successful you become, never expect a job to be done by someone that you would not do yourself (ever) 🙂

There are plenty of inspirational entrepreneurs  who are self made - Richard Branson, Lord Sugar, JK Rowling, Rita Sharma....

Are you next?

For most of us, we are experiencing the most surreal and financially crippling time of our lives. Businesses are facing extinction; individuals unable to work with their income stopping overnight. We never saw it coming or at least, not like this. It’s truly life changing. There is always a light at the end of the tunnel though. Our light, is the Government creating a huge support package to ease our way out and ensuring that the aftermath is not an economic crash. This support package initially focused on businesses operating as limited companies, but has now been updated to include sole traders or otherwise known as individuals working for themselves, of which there are more than 3m, making up 60% of all businesses in the UK. What’s the package? If you are employed and unable to work, you can receive 80% of your gross pay; if you are self employed, you can receive 80% of your trading profits (over the last three years to 5 April 2019). How can you get it? The systems are cu

Effective Planning & Budgeting for Businesses

Christmas is nearly upon us and it is predicted that the UK spend on gifting this year will be in the region of £25.6 billion!! If you are a UK business owner then happy days, you will enjoy a slice of the pie.  Whilst the Christmas season will boost your sales, all businesses need to be prepared so that they are not caught out with the January blues when spending declines as consumers close their purses and wallets, to recover from Christmas spending.  For quite a few industries such as hospitality and tourism, this downturn can last a few months with the joys of Spring & Easter kickstarting sales again.
