The Story
How To BE The Business.com offers website design and updating services alongwith tips and advice for SME's. The name encompasses the fact that as small business owners we often have to BE the complete Business - Accountant, marketeer, printer, sales person etc.
Best advice given
Research, Test and Reassess (regularly).
Business day
Get up early and do some excercise - even if it's only stretches.
Mind yourself...
I practice yoga and enjoy gardening which destresses me when I've had a bsy day of Google/Goggle eyes!
Make time for yourself to do something you love every day.

Proudest moment
My proudest moment so far in business was my successful Eco Tourism tour of Ireland which I did in 2014 for my eco tourism blog www.ecoactiveireland.com
Funniest moment
Not sure of there are funny mistakes in business but certainly there are ones I have learnt from!
Don't be afraid to work for others if you need to ( eg getting a full time job to catch up on monetary issues or to save for the future business) - you can always come back to your true love and with less monetary worries you will be in a better position too.
A younger you?
Inspiration
My sister Sam inspires me, especially when I see how she inspires others and how she helps those who need a bit of direction or clarity on issues.
anthem for business
I have a few businesses and a new one in development so it's kinda hard to say - but I guess Kylie's Locomotion might be the next one.. It will all become clear to you as to why I have chosen that soon... ;)
"why" For business
Flexibility. I simply love being able to live life in a way that allows me to take advantage of opportunities ( be they business conferences, friend meets or special travel deals) that the employed 9-5 Mon-Fri type job simply doen't allow.
other jobs
You name it.
Data Processing, Quality Control Inspector, Maitre D', Hotel Receptionist, Travel Agent, some I don't recall at this stage.

Improve Life/ Work Balance for myself and others through inspiration.
