    Cost of Mastercard transaction and card reader

    Hi Guys At some point my wife is thinking of moving from online only to possibly running a shop. Do you guys know if is it is a standard charge based on a percentage for all transactions taken by Mastercard? Also, how much on average does it cost to hire the card readers? Many thanks Phil

    quitting day job to run business?

    It comes down to when you feel the time is right. To be honest, these days I think it's actually a higher risk to be in a j.o.b (just over broke) than run your own business. Cheers Phil

    Great tool for getting work done in half the time

    I am but I have used this tool in office life as well, I used to get distracted a lot by things going on in the office. Of course, it's a bit of a challenge ignoring your phone and email at work, but actually, a lot of the time, it is things that can wait....unless you work in a hospital of...

    Great tool for getting work done in half the time

    That's weird, I don't get any adverts on mine at all? Or maybe you only get an advert on the first visit or something? If you did, then sorry about that. Once the stop watch is started, then you can flip back to Word, or whichever application you are using. Thanks Phil

    Hi All

    Hi Matt Along with the questions you have asked, you need to think about how you are going to market your business. Without customers, you don't have a business. As mentioned above, having a social network would work well with fishing, so Facebook is good and it would be worth having a...

    Great tool for getting work done in half the time

    Hi Guys This is a technique I've read about and having been using a while to do (desk) work in half the time. It sounds so simple but it works. Parkinson's Law states that if you have more time to do something, you will take longer to finish the job. This is why deadlines are useful as...

    Anyone been successful with advertising on twitter?

    Hi Vladimir Could it be worth looking at somewhere more targeted for your advertising. While you can make sales from Twitter and Facebook, remember they were both primarily designed for social activities and entertainment. I find they are good for building relationship with prospects and...

    Are you working ON your Business or IN your business

    You've made some great points. This is where business owners really need to think about delegation. In my business, there are certain things I like doing and others I hate. Rather than hitting my head against a brick wall, I looked to outsource the stuff I didn't like doing. One thing though...

    Getting started marketing

    Hey Paul What I would do now is leverage the success from that happy customer. Firstly you could ask him if he would mind doing a testimonial for you, ideally video him and then stick it on your sales page / web site. Then, I would ask him if there is anybody he could refer to your product...

    Are you working ON your Business or IN your business

    Hey, glad to hear it. Also, I'm happy to see somebody replying with a decent post. There seems to be a lot of people on here who post two word replies, like "I'm interested". Not sure what the point of that is ;-) Anyway, back to the point, I bet you are much happier now that you are...

    Are you working ON your Business or IN your business

    Hi Gang There's a sandwich shop I sometimes go to in London which has a nice owner I like to chat to. However, one thing I noticed was she often works behind the till, while taking phone calls from suppliers, family members and whoever else calls. Now, she probably feels like she is...
