Volunteers Needed

Ladies and Gentlemen ba lekhotla le sa foseng, I have been experiencing loads of problems trying to keep up with all your contact details, corrections, changes of email addresses and the like.  This is taking so much of my time.  This post makes a special call for volunteers who will come help me sort this contacts issues once and for all.

Volunteers would come in at their own convenient time, they may work at their own station of choice.  If I could please have them come in before the end of the week?  Thanking you in advance

Flawsome

FLAWSOME definition:

Consumers don't expect brands to be flawless. In fact, consumers will embrace brands that are FLAWSOME*: brands that are still brilliant despite having flaws; even being flawed (and being open about it) can be awesome. Brands that show some empathy, generosity, humility, flexibility, maturity, humor, and (dare we say it) some character and humanity.

Trendwatching

Trendwatching is one awesome site that watches consumer trends the world over.  If you have the time do visit their website and learn about consumer trends and see if you can relate to any of these trends....

Flawsome lists a lot of examples where corporates, small businesses and non-profits publicly admitted their FLAWS (especially using social media) and transparently acknowledging their "humanness"  thus becoming FLAWSOME!

The Business Plan

A business plan typically includes a written overview of the business with a description of the product or service provided, the market served, the competition faced, and the people involved in the business. It should also show financial projections going out three to five years, with revenue and expenses detailed monthly for one year. 

In the coming week we shall work on generating creative, innovative, business ideas. Followed by a chain of exercises/assignments which you guys should be submitting regularly at my office.   The assignments will serve as piece meal approaches to developing your bankable business plans.
