I have had this question on my mind recently: “Am I wasting my time on some of my business activities?” Some of them seem to go nowhere. How long it will take for them to take off? I have wasted a lot of energy on new products and marketing them on various social media. TheContinue reading “Where to put your energy”

Steps to set up your social media schedule
Not everything fitted into my previous post on Social Media. There are some points I think should be mentioned. Before I decided on which social media I will stay on and which one I will drop, I ran several months of testing. I was mainly looking for these three variables: Which media is popular withContinue reading “Steps to set up your social media schedule”
Testing social media algo :)
Every year, by the time August comes, I review all my activities and I start thinking about the Christmas market. Not so last year. Well, we all know that it was a very atypical year.

Do I need this first step? Do I really need to find my “Why”? The answer often seem obvious, right? Well, the most obvious thing seems to be “the money”.

When everything is too much…
I am at that stage and I thought that I will share it. I think all sides should be shown. Not only the happy and optimistic one – i.e. just plan, get organised, get routine going and you will get there… Today I feel completely different and it is not for the first time. AfterContinue reading “When everything is too much…”
Get (more) scientific with your business strategy
Know your weaknesses! This one has helped a lot, especially this year. I know that I am quite emotional about my business. I tend to think that what I like – others will like or that what I need – others will need. I have quickly learned that this is not the case. Basically, thereContinue reading “Get (more) scientific with your business strategy”
When work morale is low…
I do love spring but I have noticed that spring is not good for my business. I have no explanation for it except for the obvious ones – there are no big holidays, people are more outdoors and not spending that much time online, it is a slow season even for big business and soContinue reading “When work morale is low…”

However, the following points might help you to avoid some mistakes, I have made and IContinue reading “My 5 regrets as an mini solo-enterpreneur”
