Can You Make Your Hobby Into A Business
My client, Jenny, showed me a small selection of knitted wool hats that she had made. She said she had dozens of them in her house. She wondered about the possibility of going into business selling these hats. Up to now she had sold a few to friends without any effort. Wouldn’t it be nice to sell them to others! Maybe-on a website.

Strategic Thinking What Does It Really Mean
Recently I was working with a client’s management team and we were having a discussion about thinking. And as the discussion ensued I thought to myself that we think a lot, but we very seldom think about how we think. As a strategic thinking and business coach I do think quite a lot about how we think and especially how people in business think or shall I say how they “don’t think!” In today’s economy with the global competitive pressures faced by business each day, it seems to me that there needs to be a great deal more emphasis on strategic thinking. And in my view, strategic thinking should no longer be limited to or encouraged of those in planning. I believe that strategic thinking is now necessary for everyone.
Understand Your Roles
How many hats do you wear? Well, not literally, of course. You hear that phrase all of the time. Wearing many hats. What that essentially means is that in life, we all have different roles that we play in different groups. If you don't consider those roles, it can cause you time management issues down the line.
Re-Organizational Chart
Most small businesses start with a good idea, an individual with a skill set who turns the idea into a revenue producing business, some investors or personal savings, and patience and perseverance. The founding father or mother wore many hats at the beginning and over time handed these hats to individuals who were hired to help as the business grew. Sometimes growth came so quickly that there was a rush to judgement as to how many and who to hire as well as their areas of responsibility. This was a good problem to have because sales were increasing and the dream of growth was coming true.

The Heroes Organize Their Business
We have many equally important business functions competing for time slots. This is the management task of deciding who does what, where and when. In large organizations, this will mean handing over responsibilities and the authority to suitable persons and departments. In many of our smaller organizations, this means wearing one hat for the hour or day, and wearing different hats during the other hours and the other days. Either way, keep the hats stylish and comfortable. Nobody wants to wear a frumpy hat.
