Have the best 2019

For some it’s been amazing

For others a challenge 

Either way you have the opportunity to go into going into 2019 on fire!

Maybe your year was amazing - and you’re in the best shape of your life, or you just feel amazing and you’re at peace…

If so - fuel it, compound it, and feel the gratitude .

Truly feel it in your cells..

Nothing furls sustainable success like vision and gratitude..

If 2018 was a shitty  year - maybe the relationship didn’t work out, your business didn’t take off, you lost a loved one , you’re not in the best shape of your life, you’re in a job you don’t like, or maybe you’re dealing with some problems from your childhood that you’ve just never been able to shake...

Remember ... that’s ok 

The valleys of our life, the down parts of life, the sad parts of our life… that’s when:

• We typically discover a new path that leads us to our next level
• That’s when we say “enough is enough!”
• Thand’s when the new business comes
• That’s when we discover who and what we want in a relationship
• That’s when we take control of our health
• That’s when we quit dabbling and gain the capabilities to start and scale a business

Without darkness there can be no light, without the valleys there can be no peaks…

It’s impossible to know abundance, joy, and wealth until you know what it’s like to struggle…

You can’t appreciate it until you’ve gone through failure and defeat...

So if this is your best year: Compound it!

But if it’s one of your worst: learn from it - plan and take action 

2019 is designed for you. 

You will come out of it with lessons, with skills, and capabilities that can take your life to that next level… And it will give you the gratitude to appreciate what you’ve achieved once you get there.

Office Evolution ranked #2 franchise in Entrepreneurs 2018

Office evolution is not a workspace with Ping-Pong tables and kombucha on tap, like WeWork and Regus, which tout Silicon Valley.

Office Evolution founder and CEO Mark Hemmeter saw a marketplace of entrepreneurs - many of them professionals that have managed small businesses such as accounting or legal firms, and are already plugged into a more traditional community. Many have known each other for many years - and since 2012 have opened more than 50 locations - each of which has its finger on the pulse of what its particular community needs.

BBG www.bbg.business provides these firms an opportunity to collaborate learn and grow with each other through a process enabling members to build know like and trust with each other. As CEO Geoff Hirsh says “if I sit with you for 3 hours a month with a mindset of “ how can I help you” what’s the chances of us doing business together ?”

4 tips to improve your engagement on linked in from Simon Clarke

https://www.linkedin.com/in/sjcsystems

Are you one of the countless members on this platform who has something to promote? 

Are you posting content about your employer, about your own company, or about yourself?

Do you get constantly frustrated when you've done the hard yards, added a lot of connections on your network, and yet still only have a few hundred views?

There are four simple steps that you can take to dramatically increase the audience of your submitted content:

1. Never, ever, embed a link to an external website in the body of your post. LinkedIn want clicks on THEIR site, not have you going off to externally hosted content, where you may never return from. If you have a Press Release or some other content, either post it here using the "Write an Article" option, or post a summary and reference the first comment to find out more. Having posted that summary, immediately comment on your own post and paste in the link to the external content. LinkedIn will look at your post and rank it higher because it is internal content. Hence you'll get more views.
2. Use short, easy to read grammatical constructs. Bullet points, numbered lists, short sentences.
3. Make your content bite-sized literally and easy to digest. 
4. Try to avoid jargon or explain it, especially if it has different meanings in other parts of the world.

I hope these four tips improve your audience engagement. Please comment below with other tips that you've found to improve your content readership.

Do Gen Y’s want what we are keen to leave them?

There is going to be a massive transfer of wealth over the next 10-20 years – the likes of which the world has not seen.

There is a massive gap in getting businesses investor ready or ready for succession.

 

Do the “gen ys”  who are set to inherit these businesses want them or have they got their own agenda?
