We spend a lot of time thinking about all the amazing things mothers do for us. This Mother's Day show them how much you appreciate everything that they do for you.

Motivation does not always come naturally; sometimes we must rely on self-evaluation. If you're not feeling driven, ask yourself a few questions.

When you think of mindfulness you think of yoga since it its the the most popular form of meditation. Why are business leaders choosing meditation over massage or ping-pong, for example? 🧐

The practice of mindfulness or meditations have increased employees ability to focus, creativity and emotional intelligence. Practicing mindfulness or meditating is as simple as sitting and concentrating on your breath while inhaling in and out. You don't need to do much when you are meditating. In fact, you do nothing at all. ✨

We get it! Some quotes can be a bit corny or meh. 😅 But when a quote motivates or touches a person it can become powerful. ✨

When is a 4 hour meeting not a drag? When it's with clients like these. Spent the day at The Blue Hotel Bondi Beach yesterday. A yearly review of the Customer Service processes that my team looks after for the hotel. I love my business and how it helps my clients!

Sales is just the same – you may feel that you are going to win the sale but nothing is guaranteed until the customer has paid your invoice."

Coming into 2022 and still dreading virtual meetings? Still got staff all over the place?

Here are some reminders for how to best use Zoom for productive meetings. These are the tips we've found and used for over the years.🔎

1️⃣ Have a structure: agenda & objective setting
Always set and create a clear agenda and objective for the meeting. You can even send this info to your teammates before the meeting.

For regular team meetings, a huddle format is recommended. Set a day and time that your team can easily remember and save in a team calendar tool.

Also, focus on the topic at hand and avoid raising issues that do not achieve the meeting's objective. What can be done is put them in the "parking lot" for a follow-up after the meeting ends. This also avoids involving team members in a discussion that is not part of that certain topic or project.

2️⃣ Utilise chat
Message your questions or responses in the chatbox to avoid overlapping audio and interrupting the speaker and communication flow.

3️⃣ Keep it short
During virtual meetings, it is more difficult for us to interpret verbal cues to infer emotion which leads to zoom fatigue or the feeling of emotional exhaustion due to long periods in virtual meetings.

Hence, it is recommended to keep your meetings short and efficient. 30mins for team huddles, and 15 minutes for 1 on 1 check-in.

For longer meetings such as strategic planning, frequent breaks are encouraged, and long lunch breaks can help prevent fatigue.

4️⃣ Use screen share feature
Another way to prevent zoom fatigue is by using screen share. This allows your team members to focus both on the material being presented, and non-verbal cues. It also helps get points across faster as it is easier to explain and comprehend when something is visually explained or shared.

And that's it, our 4 tips on how you can keep your zoom meetings productive. ✨ We'd like to know which of the tips we've shared resonates with you most or feel free to share how you keep your zoom meetings productive in the comments section. 🔽

Big cheers for the first Monday of 2022 🥂 It's a new year, new week, new goals, and new opportunities coming your way. 💯

Are you ready for 2022? We've done a bit of research to share with you some of the small business marketing trends for 2022 to help you stay legendary. ⚡

1️⃣ Virtual Event
Virtual events will still stay in the limelight although there is big a emphasis on making it more interesting to avoid screen fatigue.

According to John Hazard, the founder and content strategist at digital marketing agency Lighthouse Creative Group, the race is on for a more polished production value- graphics, hosts, equipment, and say goodbye to kitchen backdrops.

2️⃣ Content is still king

Gone are the days where marketing is all about product or service feature selling only. The key to successfully building trust and connection with your customers is personalised content towards your target audience and buyer personas and their needs.

"At least 47% of buyers view three to five pieces of content before engaging with a sales rep, and the majority of them expect brands to create content to gain their interest."

3️⃣ Short Video Marketing

Video is the future and the simplest and clearest way for you to give your brand a voice, visuals, and sometimes even a face that your audience will easily recognise and trust.

In 2021,52% of consumers said that watching product videos gives them more confidence in making buying decisions online.

Also according to Facebook's data, video posts gets six times more engagement than photo or link posts on average.
