10 Business Norms that Damage a Corporation
Call it crazy but there are those who love to work. Mondays mean the start of productive bliss and not the blues. Weekend work emails are still switched on, in case that important client gets in touch. Shock, horror, there are some who don't even mind working for a comparatively lower salary or five figure bonus. It's something corporations would be only be too happy to hear, but due to current workplace habits, a keen worker is something they can only dream of.

How Did I Get Here?
How did I get here? A woman of 27, a mum to three beautiful children and partner to one adoring man. The same time every year there is an urge for change bubbling away in the depths of my soul, something needing to be tweaked at, changed, even. Never feeling satisfied with just how far I have come on this journey called life. Living my life, always chasing after my next move; could this be the next big thing for me? Could this be the one that makes me successful? I'm like a donkey chasing a carrot that's being held in front of its face on a string.

Finding My Niche In The Business World
Like many others, I had finished school as a two time graduate. I made my mother proud but after College I really was lost!! I got a job working at a hospital as security in the Emergency and Trauma unit, along with studying for my Corrections Exam and working as a Bartender, Server and Manager at a restaurant. I know what you're thinking... how did I manage all that. Truth is i'm not quite sure myself, I just did it. I worked day shifts at the restaurant, took a nap went to the hospital from 7pm to 7am and studied on my breaks. My days off weren't really days off because that was when I found time to go to the gym, study and pick up extra side gig jobs. I was a MESS!!

Why Should Employers Encourage Volunteerism from Their Employees?
Supporting the community is great and all, but whats in it for me as a company? What's in it for me as an employer to make time for employees to volunteer during their shifts? We have quotas/metrics/time commitments to meet and customers to support. We come to work and do our job, isn't that enough?

Why is Amway Global a Legitimate Business?
Amway Global is a 50+year-old company and has created billions of dollars in revenue. Rich Devos and Jay Van Andel had the vision to be successful and have made millions of people financially independent. Many people, though, have their own views and are very negative of the opportunity. Many people have claimed it to be a chain business, pyramid scheme, or just a sales business. I have worked with people who are in Amway and attended business conferences which have told me otherwise. In this article, I'm going to discuss why this is a legitimate business and those who talk nonsense about it don't know anything about the business opportunity.

Reach and exposure are key factors for any entrepreneur looking to scale their business or their brand and social media has become the defacto way to go about it. While Facebook, Instagram and Twitter are all viable and acceptable channels for this growth, a lot of people overlook LinkedIn. I meet a lot of entrepreneurs who overlook the value that LinkedIn can bring to their business and their brand.

Why Buy Handmade
Buying handmade products is a great idea. Here's why. 1. Handmade products are made with love, care, and attention. Handmade business owners put a lot of work into their products. They pay close attention to details because they want their customers to love their products. When you buy a handmade product, you can rest assured that the maker put their best foot forward because they are passionate about what they do. You will be receiving a high-quality product that was made with customer satisfaction in mind. Human beings put a lot more care into what they make than machines do, and this care shows in the product you receive.
