Networking expert Stefan Thomas, who has worked with everyone from small business owners, through to multi-national organisations such as BT, Instinctif and Oqema, is sharing some tips about staying positive in a negative world.
Stefan, who lives in Oxfordshire, is a professional keynote speaker and the bestselling author of Business Networking for Dummies as well as Instant Networking and Win the Room.
Seen as a business leader Stefan has been repeatedly asked about how a small business can navigate the current cost of living crisis.
“What does that really mean for a small business owner? For me, I’m going to move into a serviced office where bills are included in the rent, fixing my costs and making the winter far more predictable,” he said.
Many business owners feel the outlook for businesses is gloomy, however Stefan says: “we can always look at any situation as gloomy, or we can remove the labels from it and embrace what opportunities the situation reveals.”
What are the opportunities? Stefan believes that business owners, and the entire population will want to save money. Entrepreneurs will want to make more money. Many business-to-business service businesses can help people do both or either. The opportunity is that businesses should adjust their marketing and focus on helping people save or make money.
Here are his tips on how to be more positive in a currently negative business world:
