-- Social Beer --    * Today's article was written by Dawn Davies, who invites anyone interested in social businesses and charitable causes to visit: http://www.meandmycommunity.co.uk Two Fingers is a social enterprise with a twist - it's a beer brewing company who donate all of their profits to charity. The company was created in 2012, when its seven founders had a vision for a beer that contributed and benefitted mankind. They launched their beer brewing company to help join the fight against the most common cancer for men, prostate cancer. On their website, they say that 1 in 8 men in the UK will get prostate cancer, with the cancer killing one man each hour approximately. The charity they support is called Prostate Cancer UK, which is the leading UK charity for men with prostate problems. Two Fingers helps by both promoting the cause, and by donating all profits (after they pay bills, and reinvest in the business) to the charity. ...

-- Quote of the Day --   " A man who becomes conscious of the responsibility he bears toward a human being who affectionately waits for him, or to an unfinished work, will never be able to throw away his life. He knows the “why” for his existence, and will be able to bear almost any “how”."  ~ Viktor Frankl -- Green Business --  Businesses of all shapes and sizes can and are leading the way in their communities – some install green roofs, ranging from small market stalls for farm produce and even large modern urban green buildings.  Coops in particular really show how interaction makes a huge impact, from innovative recycling, and reuse, and community support programs, training programs and buying from local suppliers and growers.  One coop I heard of recently (can’t recall the name) actually encourages people to bring in clean yogurt containers which are then run through their sterilization...

 -- Quote of the Day -- “Customers are savvy they know what kind of value is being provided to them so businesses have to supply a high degree of value and couple that with a high level of energy – customers will feel valued and they will feel cherished. …When you are doing the interview process you want to gear the questions toward finding out who they are as a person – what are some of the difficult situations in their life and what did they do about them. Pay careful attention to what kind of energy they have… what drives them as a person. …During the training process make sure they are up to par as to how you want to portray your business, how they interact with customers, and so on. …In any portfolio (or business) you want to have a low risk, medium risk and high risk strategy – you don’t want to put all your hopes and dreams on any one thing. …So that is where you get the diversification in your strategy. …This way your gains are much larger then yo...

-- Quote of the Day --  “Our consciousness is always creating - so if you are beating yourself up if you are hard on yourself, giving things away – or feeling that unless you do more (or suffer) you are not get what you need …and this shows that you have a sense of lack, and showing that you are not valuing yourself. …It is so difficult to get out of this because that energy doesn’t allow for positive thinking. ..It is a habit really – this became your way of interpreting the world. It becomes your go-to reaction as to why you don’t have what you want. – So give it space, and consider if it is really true, and what are the other possibilities that might be true. It is going to take some effort. But as you open up the possibility of other explanations then you’ll realize that maybe your thoughts are not true.” ~ Nat Couropmitree Today’s quote originates from the Conscious Discussions Talk Radio episode titled: Conscious Creation for Business Owners  ...

-- Quote of the Day -- “… The opportunities have gotten bigger and better, but the biggest challenge for people is to get out of their own way – most of the time it is your self that is stopping you from going ahead; you have to get in the right frame of mind. …What ever you do it has to be measurable; if it can’t be measured then you are just throwing money away. Whoever you are advertising with, look at how they are going to be paid, do they get paid based on your success or are they looking to get paid up front and then you are on your own. I’m big on grassroots marketing – it is a way of giving back to and getting involved with a community. People get tied to you, they will want to support you because you are giving back to them.  It is a way to very inexpensively market your business…  Studies show that businesses that give back to their community usually do 30-40% more business than those who do not .” ~ Will Miller Today's quote was excerpted...
