Small Business Labs

AUGUST 9, 2016

We recently conducted a study in partnership with the sales and marketing automation company  Infusionsoft on  how small businesses define and achieve success. We were surprised by one of the findings. This is the extent to which successful small businesses are using coaches. We didn't set out to study this topic. We didn't even have questions on the use of coaches in our interview guide.

Small Business CEO

AUGUST 9, 2016

Team building activities are extremely rare in businesses outside corporations. It seems like the rich corporate giants of the world, like Walmart for instance, are more successful than small businesses for a reason. The main reason is that despite the fact that many don’t pay their lower-level employees really well; they do know how to increase employee’s sense of morale and togetherness rather effectively. photo credit: Flickr.

It’s that time of year again! Practically Perfect PA is nearly 5 years old (and yet I haven’t aged a day!) and every year I ask you lovely lot to give me feedback on the industry, the blog and other activities we have been working on – from our events to our new launched eBook. Your feedback is always welcome, but this year it will be particularly helpful as I am working on lots of new projects for the rest of 2016 and into 2017.
