Reach Greater Heights in your business

Reach Greater Heights in your business _ Presto Virtual Assistance Services
Let's face it, the ultimate goal is to find a greater sense of meaning, purpose and happiness in life, but truth is, life can be extremely challenging! As entrepreneurs we evaluate our past wins and re-evaluate our losses.  We determine what worked and what didn’t work in previous years, who helped us and who didn’t, and we review budgets and schedules to help us make intelligent decisions moving forward. This juggling involves ALL aspects of our lives -both business and personal.  You can’t effectively be happy in one area, if the other is out of balance. Many people try but most do not succeed to have a REAL work/life balance.  It is hard to do. So, what can you do differently right now to help get that balance that most of us want and need?  One simple solution would be to hire a virtual assistant to help you move towards that goal of a work/life balance. Need help to figure out what tasks to outsource?

What Do You Think - Is Chivalry Outdated?

Is chivalry outdated? read more at prestovirtuals.ca
​Chivalry is the traditional code of conduct associated with the medieval institution of knighthood, but nowadays, it is commonly associated with men holding doors open for women, paying for their expenses on dates and protecting them, generally, from harm.  Those who think chivalry is outdated say it is a benevolent form of sexism that does a disservice to women and men. Chivalry's supporters argue that it carries no disrespect or condescension to anyone; rather, it represents time-honored values such as service, compassion and courtesy.

5 Tips on How To Spring Clean Your Business

Spring Clean Your Business
With spring just around the corner, you're probably already making plans to clean out your basement or garage. But did you know the place that might need to biggest cleaning could be your business?  Here are a five tips to help you become more efficient and organized by removing the clutter that can bog down your business.
#1 -Email and files. If you use an email client such as Outlook, check your Spam, Sent and Deleted folders. They may contain hundreds of emails dating back years. These can take up valuable disk space ad slow down your system. Organize them by date, subject or sender, then highlight and delete the ones you no longer need  Also look through your computer's folders for files or programs you no longer need or use. There are plenty of commercial applications that can easily do this for you.
#2 - Contact lists. Update and organize your contact list. 
Go through your contact lists to make sure they are organized and up-to-date.  This is a great opportunity to re-establish communication with those you haven't heard from in a while.  Don't be afraid to delete those you have no intention of working with again.
#3 - Social Media accounts -Do you have that Flicker business account someone told you to create? Assess what social sites are working best for you and that you enjoy using. Close accounts you no longer use and perhaps open a new account with a service that you feel is a better fit for your business.
#4- Piles of paper. Go through the stacks of paper in your desk and filing cabinet. Make three groups: what to shred, what to store and what to keep. Check with your bookkeeper about how long you need to keep receipts and invoices.
#5 - E-Waste. Those old monitors, PC cases and dot matrix printers belong in a museum, not your office. Many city-run recycling centers will take them at no charge to you, letting you free up valuable space. One of my personal favorites that I have dealt with on several occasions is re Boot Canada and Revolution Recycling.

Great Brands Sweat the Small Stuff

Picture
What Great Brands Do - 7 Highly Successful Brand Habits
#5 Great Brands sweat the small stuff. Smart brands concern themselves with packaging, since that reflects what Procter & Gamble calls one of the first moments of truth with consumers. They also obsess about every point where the company connects with customers – touch points, as they are known – to ensure the brand is what they mean it to be.
6. Great brands commit and stay committed.
Top companies know what they are about and remain ruthlessly focused, not pursuing every possibility that might lead them astray.
7. Great brands never have to ‘give back’
Companies such as outdoor apparel company Patagonia carry out their operations with a sense of social responsibility, so they don’t need to develop “giving back” programs. “Giving back suggests that you’ve taken something that needs to be paid back to balance out your karma,” she says. Great brands are in balance with the world around them.
In the end, the premises she presents aren’t all that startling. But they do run counter to practice in many companies. By telling stories of successful organizations that apply the rules she offers, Ms. Yohn challenges readers to recalibrate their brand marketing.​

Great Brands Avoid Selling Products

What Great Brands Do - 7 Highly Successful Brand Habits
#2- Great brands avoid selling products. While most companies obsess about their products, brands are about emotional connections. "Just do it" was Nike's call that connected strongly with athletes, spelling out nothing about the products the company sold. While competitors tried to provide more innovative products, Oregon-based Nike brilliantly embraced the values and aspirations of athletes.
​#3- Great brands avoid trends. While many companies leap on trends, the best brands know what they are about, even if they sometimes challenge trends. They lead change , anticipating and advancing cultural movements.
#4- Great brands don't chase customers.  Brands with integrity and self-confidence can use magnetic appeal to attract customers. Brands attract customers by staying true to its identity.

What Great Brands Do. 
Great Brands Start Inside.

#1- Insights into branding and marketing is a topic that raises many questions and for good reason: branding and marketing have undergone significant changes within the last few years. Your brand can't simply be a promise - it must be a promise delivered.
So branding starts with cultivating a strong internal culture that aligns with your brand, and will carry it to the outside world. For your employees to understand, embrace and deliver your brand, they need to know its values in their heads, feel inspired by them in their hearts, and then put them into action with their hands and feet.
