Keeping It Real In Business

Posted on November 1, 2017 by ben

When you get wrapped up in your own business, it’s hard to just keep things real. Being laid back is hard due to the amount of stresses you’ll be under, which is understandable. But every so often you need to take a step back and evaluate how you can change a few things to keep it modern and fun. There’s so many unique ways of doing this. As your business grows, it’ll be in the limelight more than you realize. So take a look at these tips for taking a modern spin on the business way of life.

Sustainability

Protecting the ecosystem is so important in the modern age. Over the years we’ve released so many harmful gasses into the world that we’ve accelerated the rate of global warming hugely. The effect this is having on our environment is catastrophic. Car emissions are one of the main causes, but so are businesses.

It isn’t just the harmful gasses that are being produced by factories that are damaging, it’s the waste pretty much every business is producing and leaving to rot. This has harmful effects on both the environment and the nature. If you want to stay modern and help the environmental movement, look into sustainable commercial trash pickup. It’ll be better for both the environment, and your business.

Office Life

You need to take advice from some business giants in order to keep office life modern. Don’t just settle for the boring 9-5, no contact with your employee’s, strict office wear lifestyle. That trend is so last year. The future is all about making work fun. Scrap the strict smartwear rule, and let your employees wear what they want. It creates a much more relaxed working environment to come into.

Take notes from the likes of Google. Their employees can wear what they want, and their modern take on what an office should look like is so refreshing. If you don’t already know, then check it out here! Or take some advice from one of the most successful entrepreneurs there is, Sir Richard Branson. He has a rule that his employee’s can take as much holiday as they want, as long as the complete all their work needed in the year. How refreshing is that!?

Advertising Approaches

Advertising is such a big part of your business, so you need to do it the right way. Advertising needs to be done in a fun and exciting manner in order to attract the right customers. Think about it logically. Who remembers the boring adverts where there’s a boring man talking about accident claims? Nobody. Who remembers the adverts with the catchy music, or the catchy colors, or the action happening? Everyone!

Advertising is all about psychology and getting things into peoples head as much as possible. Online marketing is also a good technique to master as everything is online nowadays. Like with TV marketing, you have to follow the same principles. Everything needs to be bright and bold and displaying your best offers.

My good friend Ben started this site many years ago.  Ben said this about himself, “am a follower of Christ, a rabid computer geek, small business owner, and breaker of things. He is married way above his station in life and has three wonderful children who have made driving him insane their mission in life.”

Well back in 2019, Ben suddenly passed away from cancer and he asked me to continue the site. I like Ben, am a follower, a computer geek, a small business owner, and the father of 5 great children.

I miss Ben everyday but run this site in his honor. Thanks for visiting and enjoy!
