Business Bites: Motivation

Kat

June 21, 2013

Over brunch in Soho yesterday morning, Gala and I started chatting about motivation. It's funny because I always figured that I was motivated by money, after all isn't that why we run our businesses? But she commented that since I'd arrived in New York, less than 24 hours previously, I'd spoken about two projects that I am currently working on. Of both I'd then gone on to say "yeah but I'm not really doing it for the money. I really enjoy it and think it will make me really stand out from the other wedding blogs..."

Business Bites: Favourites

Did I mention that I'm off to New York next Wednesday for the next round of Blogcademy workshops? Gosh where is the time going this year?! I'm so super excited. NYC might just be my favourite city in the whole world, and of course I get to see some of my favourite people in the whole world while I'm there too.

Business Bites: Instagram All The Things!

June 7, 2013

Yesterday I was in North London shooting an editorial for the brand new edition of the print magazine. Issue 3 can't come soon enough, especially since we completely sold out of issue 2 recently, can you believe that!? I don't want to give too much away but it's pretty different, and hopefully something you won't be expecting from Rock n Roll Bride. OH BOY, I can't wait to share it will you all!

Business Bites: Being Weird Together

Kat

May 31, 2013

Being friends with other bloggers is totally awesome. I was reminded of this just yesterday when I had a lunch date with the gorgeous Emily of Fashion Foie Gras, who I met at the Cosmopolitan Superbloggers Masterclass. It's the same as when I hang out with Gala and Shauna (19 sleeps and counting!) because we don't have to worry about feeling weird wanting to photograph our outfits or document our hang-out, talking through the benefits of twitter vs facebook or discussing the latest internet drama. To us this is all totally normal behaviour!

Business Bites: Starting Over

Kat

May 24, 2013

I've learnt a lot about what it takes to launch a new business of late. Not so much with Rock n Roll Bride, which I kind of fell into by accident, but with The Blogcademy, the bloggers workshop that I launched with Gala and Shauna in the latter part of last year. Its actually really crazy to think how far we've come, the lessons we've learnt and the changes we've already made (to the promotion, the online presence and the curriculum that we teach!) but it's been really valuable having to do it so quickly.

Business Bites: Magazines & Mini Meltdowns

Kat

May 10, 2013

Yesterday Gareth & I hotfooted it to Brighton for a mini shoot with the inimitable Lisa Devlin for our magazine. Did I mention that I'm working - hard! - on the next issue right now? Oh yes, I am soooo super excited about it because I just know it's going to be even bigger and better than the last two editions. I'm actually taking the idea in a brand new direction and I'm super duper psyched to see what you all think about it! Onwards and upwards and all that...

Business Bites: Striving to Improve

Kat

April 26, 2013

I know it's geeky, but I really love reading anything and everything I can get my hands on about blogging or running a small business. I mean, if we're not constantly striving to improve or better ourselves, how do we ever expect our businesses to flourish and grow? So do yourself a favour, take a break, and spend some time reading up on how you can make some positive changes. Today.

Business Bites: Taking an Interlude…

Kat

March 1, 2013

Here are this week's links to keep you learning. Have you read anything great in the past seven days? I'd love for you to share your links in the comments (or hit me up on twitter). I'm actually taking a two week hiatus from Business Bites after this post because I'm off up a mountain with my family (Lord, give me strength). But I'll be back and fit to bursting with new goodies nearer the end of the month. I am genuinely looking forward to a proper holiday though (i.e. one that's not coupled with a work trip as well) and I'm sure I'll be raring to go as soon as I get back.

I don't even like chocolate, but this looks utterly delicious. As well as dreaming of stodgy food all week, I've been browsing around on your behalf. Grab a cuppa (and maybe some cake?!) and get stuck in...

Compiling this list of inspiration and business snippets is one of my favourite weekly activities. I always learn something new - often many things! Always strive to learn and better your understanding of how to best run your business, whatever level you're at... In other news, I'm being interviewed by Exposure Radio at 1.30pm today. If you fancy listening in you can stream it live here (must not swear, must not swear, must not swear...)

Business Bites: We’re all Still Alive Right?

December 21, 2012

I would imagine that most of you are winding down for Christmas today, and that if you haven't knocked off already then today is probably your last day of work. HURRAH! But the internet has been awash with great business advice this week - I think everyone's thinking about next year and how they're going to make everything so much better! Assuming the world hasn't ended today (we're all still here right?) let's use this new age to make our 2013 plans. I'm personally so ready to forge into 2013 with renewed vigour!

We're all gearing up for Christmas, but you know me, I'm always on the hunt for business related articles that I can learn from. I'm excited for Christmas, but almost more than that, I'm chomping at the bit to get into 2013 and to progress my business further! What about you?!

Business Bites: Getting your Business Healthy

November 30, 2012

This week I've been seriously considering doing a juice cleanse. Now I'm not one for fad diets and I generally hate talking about anything to do with weight loss but - EUGH - I don't half feel in desperate need of a detox at the moment. I blame Bri but I think I'm going to see how she gets on before I go into it wholeheartedly! Have you ever done a juice cleanse? What kind of results did you see/feel?
