Not only that, but Aldwyn has worked as a Freelance writer for interstate and National Magazines, is founder of Animal Action Events, raising about $15,000 for various animal charities since 2007 and gaining millions of dollars of free media exposure for the humane treatment of animals worldwide.

She is an Actress in theatre, short films, TV advertisements and feature films, has worked as en Editor, Writer, MC and Voice Over artist.  Wow, and double WOW.

In my interview, Aldwyn discusses her history in the field of media communication and her vast and varied experience, not only as a photojournalist, but some of the consultancy work she has undertaken and exposure that she has obtained for her clients.

It is obvious from this interview that whatever she takes on, whether personal projects such as the Animal Action Day mass media awareness and fundraising for animal welfare, winning the Gold Coast Table Tennis Championships Women’s Open Singles title back in 2006 and her ongoing loyalty to this sport since she was a winner at 10 years old, surfing, swimming and cycling, and her adorable cat Tiger, to client’s mass media communication projects, writing, co-editing or performing plays, exhibiting her photographs, or her role as ‘Media Queen’, (more later) her knowledge, energy and dedication makes her the perfect person to give advice, support and lend her know-how to your projects too.

BUSINESS SKILLS TIPS 9 – MOVING FORWARD AND ACHIEVING GOALS

BUSINESS SKILLS TIPS 9 – MOVING FORWARD AND ACHIEVING GOALS

From revolving daily lists, to setting SMART goals, you can move your business forward faster and ensure that you are achieving goals by tackling those jobs that you dread, the ones that make your stomach lurch when you think about them.  Having the strength and determination to tackle them, one step at a time will ensure that you get to achieving goals.

Tune in to todays BST and discover some tips that will help you on your way to moving forward.  Angela talks about goal setting in this brief blog post.  A whole range of webinars are planned from January to March 2015, complete with useful downloads, so watch our podcast show for news about upcoming events.

In the meantime, plan ahead yourself by breaking down your goals into easy to do mini-bites, or even chunks that you can easily digest and make sure that you are moving forward in your business and achieving goals along the way.

 

BUSINESS SKILLS TIPS 7 – LEARN FROM BUSINESS FAILURE STORIES

BUSINESS SKILLS TIPS 7 – LEARN FROM BUSINESS FAILURE STORIES

Today Angela asks the question, why do businesses fail?  Easy to find out, just read the financial pages and then ask yourself how you can learn from business failure stories.

Some businesses fail because they have not paid sufficient attention to their profit and loss figures and some, because they have neglected customers, clients and other important people that they rely on including their staff, outsourcers and others.

If you want to avoid your business failure then look to your own stories and compare them to other companies that fail.  Do you have areas in your business that are neglected?  Are your staff undertaking their tasks under excellent guidance, using informative and correct practice, taking care of your customer needs?

Most failures are due to poor delegation, under staffing, over spending, unrealistic projections and lack of knowledge about products, services, customer needs or lack of clear branding or unique selling point. Examine your business plan and check your story against those of the failed businesses.  Better still, ensure you have a plan!

BUSINESS SKILLS TIPS 8 – YOUR MOTIVATION TO SUCCEED

BUSINESS SKILLS TIPS 8 – YOUR MOTIVATION TO SUCCEED

What is your business motivation?  Do you want to be famous, become an authority figure, use your income to perform humanitarian actions, or just make loads of money and retire early?

I am asking questions again.  Today I am thinking about what your business motivation is all about.  Do you know for sure why you want to be in business and why you are pursuing the direction that you have chosen?  There is no shame in being in business for the money!  In fact, most successful entrepreneurs admit having a taste for making large sums of money.  Sometimes it is for the challenge that excites them, sometimes for the power it brings them, sometimes just because they like to spend money on nice things.

Others are in their business so that they can help people.  Maybe they run a consultancy, a therapeutic practice, work at a trade – all these businesses help other people directly.  Some people want to earn a position of authority and being a business person brings that to them.  Academics and lecturers may enjoy having other people listen to them and the role they play in enlightening others – and, of course, the authority.

Whatever your motivation for being in the business you are in, there might be days when your motivation flags a little, so refocus, build a picture of your success, and enjoy the journey.  Make every day an adventure and use the challenge to work towards your dreams. Expand your level of motivation and watch your success take off.

 

BUSINESS SKILLS TIPS 6 – BUSINESS MODELLING AND CUSTOMER PROFILING

BUSINESS SKILLS TIPS 6 – BUSINESS MODELLING AND CUSTOMER PROFILING

Sounds like a heavy title, eh?  Actually it is all about methods that can ensure your business success that are easy to do, cost very little and can save any business person time and money in building a business model that is bound to succeed, and customers that are truly happy with what your business has to offer. Using business modelling and customer profiling you are bound to enjoy increased income and a big list of happy customers.

So, in this short session Angela shares one or two methods you can use these concepts, which say more about childhood copying and using selective probing questions than it does to scientific methodology.

Listen to this blog

Angela used business modelling herself when she was setting up her hotel business, and through contacts in the Chamber of Commerce she located other hoteliers who shared information with her that greatly advanced her business.  Later she developed  customer profiling and used it to discover exactly what her customers needed, and designed products to meet that need, both sensible and good business practice.

 

BUSINESS SKILLS TIPS 5 – PERCENTAGES OF BUSINESSES THAT FAIL

BUSINESS SKILLS TIPS 5 – PERCENTAGES OF BUSINESSES THAT FAIL

In today’s BST I am taking a candid look at the reasons why businesses fail, indeed, I examine what causes the percentages of business that fail here in the UK.

Success or failure can be due to a number of variables.  However, Dun and Bradstreet claim that the number one reason why businesses fail is due to failure of planning.  In this BST, I give some pointers as to how you can avoid the risks, and play to your strengths to ensure that your business succeeds.

Not only that, but you can follow the link below to find out more information on how you can ensure your business success, by listening to my webinar  5 Secrets To Online Business Success.  The act of planning ensures that you do your research, make clear and practical decisions that relate to the finances, the structure and the marketing of your products, services and trade so that your customers, your clients and yourself are happy and that people to purchase your products and services come back time and time again for more.

Make sure that your business is not one that fails, and learn how you can prevent being part of the percentage of business that fail to get past the nursery years and become part of the percentages of business that succeed.  Here’s to your  business success.
