My 7 top tips to working sustainably from home (even with young children): https://www.getfruitfulmarketing.com/my-7-top-tips-for-working-sustainably-from-home-even-with-young-children/

I'm not saying I've got this sorted yet, given the new circumstances in which we find ourselves, but sharing this to remind myself to keep on track and hopefully may help you too.

I started my business working from home while my daughter was just a few months old. Having spent the last six and half years developing my business and being the primary carer for my daughter, I’ve learned ways to balance working and childcare. Of course things are a bit different at the moment a...

A meditation for fellow business owners and marketers at this time

May we choose our words with care
May we share messages that uplift, motivate, support and serve
May we connect people who have needs with those who can meet their needs
May we inspire and encourage solutions
May we fully appreciate the unique value we can add with every word we use and action we take
May we fully appreciate our colleagues, customers, communities and collaborators
May we be guided with compassion and empathy for ourselves and others
May we continue to seek new ways of serving
May we continue to learn and grow from within and from each other

How do you make decisions in your business?

Based on emotion/gut feel/intuition or hard evidence?

Both are important but sometimes we struggle to put our fingers on the facts we need to bring clarity and therefore don't have the full picture to make the best choice.

If you'd like to learn more about how marketing metrics and management accounting can give you the information you need to make your business more data-driven, I'm going to be speaking about this at a special event that is taking place 4 weeks today.

Save the date for Thursday 19th March and book your place to join us here:

ReignSupreme has teamed up with Brand & Marketing Strategist Anwen Cooper to create an event to show how management reporting functions are helping businesses to grow above expectations as part of our 'Small Business, Think Big' campaign. Who is it for? Business owners who are keen to expand their p...

Do you lack objectivity when it comes to knowing how to find more of your ideal clients, where the growth opportunities are for your business, and how best to approach your marketing?

I'm going live over in my free FB Group in one minute to talk more about this there: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thefruitfulplayground/

In today’s blog I wanted to share the third most common challenge I see facing business owners who are struggling to manage their own marketing: lack of objectivity. When you are the founder, owner or manager of a small business, your attention may be focused mostly on ‘what you do’, or the pr...

Another reason why marketing your own business can be so hard... not knowing what to do:

Following on from yesterday’s blog post about how lack of time to dedicate to marketing can be a common challenge for SME owner/managers, today I am looking at another issue you may face if you’re running your own business, and trying to do your own marketing: lack of experience and knowledge ab...

Are you guilty of saying you 'don't have time for marketing'?

Perhaps you feel you are behind with your marketing, or just struggling to be consistent with implementing your plans.

This is one of the biggest challenges I see facing most small business owners. If you can identify, then I'd like to challenge you on what this actually means for you and your business in my latest blog.

Take a look and see what you think is REALLY behind your 'lack of time' and what you can do about it.

Even I sometimes find marketing my own business hard, despite the fact that I’ve been working in marketing for 20 years now, and running Get Fruitful Marketing since 2014. The challenges I face are the same issues I see coming up for my clients who are mostly busy running their own small businesse...

What should you include in your 2020 Marketing Strategy?

Here are my top 10 points to consider...

Do you have a documented Marketing Strategy? Or a marketing section in your Business Plan? Most small businesses don’t. Maybe because they haven’t made time to think it through and write something up. Perhaps because they don’t know where to start. If you are lacking a Marketing Strategy, or h...
