How to take your BUSINESS ONLINE and INCREASE SALES during COVID-19

The wonderful people at The Poutinerie have given our audience a beautiful 20% discount. To get hold of the BEST POUTINE IN TOWN, head over to https://the-poutinerie.myshopify.com/ and add the offer code SPENANDNICK at checkout Covid-19 has decimated so many businesses. Hospitality and retail have been particularly hard hit. But just because your business as usual has suffered, it doesn't mean there's nothing you can do. The Poutinerie was hit seriously hard during Covid. It was close to having to stop trading altogether, but they pulled through by shifting what they sell and how they sell it. We talk about what they did to turn their food truck business to an online offering that sells out every week. Special thanks to Nikesh Ashar for his support on this one.

40: Recycle your ideas

Great ideas are hard to come by They're even harder if you're waiting for them to come to you. "An object at rest will remain at rest unless a force is acted on it" - this is as true for ideas as it is for physical objects. So how do you create great ideas? Get into the habit of generating loads of them, all the time. Most of them will be rubbish, so bin them. But some will come back, recycle them and turn them into something great! If you prefer YouTube, don't worry we've got you covered - https://youtu.be/qe2wl03_CFQ
