Infographic Tuesday - Small business SINKING or SWIMMING?

Infographic Tuesday - Entreprenuers

I am not a huge fan of the term "Entrepreneur". As far as I am concerned these people are not the peak - they are simply the level that the rest of us should have achieved.

An entrepreneur could be a fantastic worker within a company. They only reason they go it alone is due to frustrations and inability to fix problems internally.

A failure of a company, not of them.

So rather than thinking about praising an entreprenuer..........turn it around,

Who was their previous employer?
What constraints did they have placed on them?
What went wrong?
How can I avoid this?

These are the keys to keeping these talented individuals inside a company - thus lifting the company to a new level.

Infographic Tuesday - Brand Colours

Great little infographic about what colours mean to your brand. Something designers are aware of (fyi designers go check out http://www.farrstdevelopments.blogspot.com) but business types need to learn.

Infographic Thursday - The App Bubble

Recently I was contemplating building an empire via making apps.
Turns out that while there are a few success stories - there a plenty of failures.

Infographic Tuesday - Banner ads, who clicks

You will click hopefully...........because that buys me beer inspirational motivation to do more stuff for you.

Infographic Tuesday - LinkedIn Networking

I got a few emails regarding my Facebook InfoTuesday post. So thought I better continue the trend with another networking site.
Turns out people get projects through linkedin also! So perhaps that could be another tool for your sales guys to get into doors previously left closed?

Infographic Tuesday : Facebook

While I don't really want to get into the debate as to what should or shouldn't be in CV's etc. I do think inspirational messages are important motivational tools. Here are some manifestos that I have taking a liking too recently.

Introverts and what good things can happen behind closed doors

You guys might have remembered my post I did about open offices and if they work.

Well it seems that someone (Susan Cain) thinking about Introverts in the workplace has come to similar conclusions. Interesting viewing.


So, should we be trying to embrace the differences of different employees and finding out how they work best - rather than trying to create a fictitious 'synergy' throughout the whole company? What are your thoughts?

What was supposed to be "Infographic Tuesday" (sorry I was sick)

Today's one is about Student debt - and how we are creating a false hope for many students. It is placed in comparison to many 'bubble market' crisis's. Education News Education News
