How Melbourne Business Owners find opportunities in difficult situations

“You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it.” — Maya Angelou

Managing the daily influx of emails – is it possible?

,

Email is one of the necessary means of communication, especially in business. With a lot of official messages, personal matters, spam and email threads where you are copied, how do you ensure that you don’t waste too much time going through your inbox without missing out on the more important ones? It may not be too much of a deal but there are repercussions when you fail to read an urgent message, while there are also consequences when you spend too much time on your emails than on other pressing issues.

Using LinkedIn to promote your business

LinkedIn is a social media platform that has been used by individuals, companies, and organisations to connect, network, and promote their products, services, causes, and brands. Entrepreneurs have also recognised the value of LinkedIn to their business, and EO Members share with us how they utilise LinkedIn to promote their brands and organisations and take advantage of the platform’s network.
