Again by our very own Jordon (our music producer)
We love music at Smooch. So much so that we handpick all of the songs we play at our stores. We are always on the look our for music which makes us feel good, transports us to another world, even just for a few minutes.
We came across a wonderful band on youtube and were thrilled to find out that one of their members is none other than our music producer Jordon!
Take a listen for yourself. It will make you go bananas!
I came across this list of top 10 tips for being a successful entrepreneur. Not all my favourites are in there, but there are some pearls of wisdom. Any other hints?
1. Look for opportunities to do something better than just about everyone else.
2. Accept risk as a necessary evil. It makes for much less competition.
3. Act responsibly to customers, employees and vendors.
4. Goals aren’t enough. You need a plan. You need to execute the plan.
5. You need to fix the plan as you go. Learn from your mistakes. Most people don’t.
6. Do not reinvent the wheel. Learn from others — join a business group.
7. Make sure the math works. I know plenty of people who work hard and follow their passion but the math doesn’t work. If the math doesn’t work, neither does the business.
8. Make sure that every employee understands and works toward the mission.
9. There are going to be difficult times and you need to be resilient; whining is a waste of time.
10. There will be sacrifices. Work to find a balance so that you don’t become a financially successful loser. It’s not about the income, it’s about the outcome.
