Five things you need to avoid if you want your small business to succeed Want to give your small business a fighting chance of succeeding? If so, here are five things you need to avoid. Sadly, the failure of a small business is not an uncommon event. In fact, one out of five small businesses don’t make it out of the first year. Beyond that, only about half survive five years, and only about a third make it to ten years or longer. After pouring your time, energy and money into starting and funding a small business, the last thing you want is to see it fail. 1) Not listening to customers Customers are more than just a source of revenue; they can also provide valuable insights that might not be as obvious to the person running the company. As a business owner, you shouldn’t just ask for customer feedback; you should encourage it. Both positive and negative feedback can be valuable. You can read tips to help you use customer feedback (and handle complaints) in these articles: 2) Incomplete business plan 3) Inventory management 4) Poor accounting practices
About At Code Club, we think all children should have the opportunity to learn to code, no matter who they are or where they come from. This is why we support a nationwide network of volunteers and educators who run free coding clubs where young people aged 9-13 build and share their ideas, learning along the way. We currently have more than 10000 clubs in over 100 countries, and our club projects have been translated into 28 languages. Our projects are easy to follow, step-by-step guides which help young people learn Scratch, HTML & CSS, and Python by making games, animations, and websites. The projects gradually introduce coding concepts to allow young people to build their knowledge incrementally, which also means there’s no need for the adult running the session to be a computing expert. We also support active clubs with a range of extra resources, including certificates and posters, as well as offering competitions and prize draws for them.

Thingiverse - Digital Designs for Physical Objects Five ways to finance your business start-up Need to raise funds to get your promising enterprise off the ground? Read five ways you can finance your business start-up. Finding ways to finance your business, especially in its early stages, can be a mammoth task for even the most talented entrepreneur. But it’s also a vital one. One of the first steps towards making your business a success is establishing a grounded financial base – not only can it help you to get it off the ground in the first place, but it gives you a pool of funds to help you make the right decisions to keep it growing at a healthy rate. Five ways to finance your business start-up So where do you find the money to start your business? 1) Take out a loan Loans are usually the first source thing that comes to mind when considering a financial solution. A logbook loan will be secured on your vehicle, which technically means that the lending company will own it until you can pay back the loan (you will still be able to drive your car as usual). 4) Sell shares
Why competing in the skills Olympics could boost UK growth - BBC News Vuvuzelas, samba dancing, flags and a whole lot of feel good factor - a huge party has been taking place in Brazil but for once its not to mark a sporting event. Instead 1,200 young people from around the globe gathered to compete for medals in the World Skills competition. Limbering up for the UK was Robert Johnson, in the Plastering and Drywall category. He left school at 16 to work for his dad's plastering company in Middlesbrough. "I've been practising three or four days a week as well as helping my dad keep the family business going," says Robert, who has six years plastering experience. Alongside building skills, under 25 year olds are displaying their talents in trades as diverse as landscape gardening, plumbing, electronics, carpentry, graphic design, robotics, baking and beauty therapy. As at any championship team morale is vital. The New Zealand team start every morning with the Haka and the Swiss team have a 600 strong supporters club who follow their finalists around the world.
FABRICOLLEGE – Un FabLab en milieu scolaire & ouvert à tous Inspiring action with Simon Sinek | The Joy of Business You know when several people all tell you about the same thing in a short space of time…? Everyone’s talking about unicorns and you just have to check out exactly what’s happening with unicorns. That’s what has been happening to me with Simon Sinek recently. Clients have been recommending him, connections on Twitter have been quoting him, and Amazon have put his book on my recommended reading list. In case you’re as much out of the loop on this as I was, Simon Sinek is a ethnographer who has been shaking things up with his ideas about leadership and management. His big idea for business is that we should make it really clear about why we do the things we do, not just how and what we do. He explains all of this much better than I do, so I’d recommend having a wee look at his TED video or reading his book. This inspired me to write down exactly why I do what I do, both in my business consultancy and advice work at the Joy of Business and with Brighton Chamber.
