Since 1999 I have helped many other businesses grow while operating and developing my own award-winning business, Jacaranda Business Support Services (JBSS). I guess you could say I have walked my talk and proven it works.

In that time I have had the opportunity, and the very great pleasure, to work in my area of passion to support businesses across a vast range of industries – medical centers, publishers, tradespeople, artists, professional speakers, real estate agents, theme parks, fashion designers, tour companies, interior designers, writers, publishers, accountants, private investigators, lawyers, the police department, universities, zoos, health practitioners – and that’s just for starters.

My first book, Ready, Set, Go For It! The complete women’s guide to operating a small business in Australia, was released in February 2004. Since then I have been privileged to present workshops and seminars throughout Australia to help others realize their dream of establishing a successful small business.

The success my clients have achieved has been the key motivating force behind my writing this e-book: 17 Expert Ideas to Make Your Small Business a Huge Winner - so that these winning strategies - and some may surprise you - are available to everyone.

Ok – OK – I confess that there was also a certain amount of self-gratification involved in why I wrote this e-book. It is another way I can fulfil my long-term passion – to guide others through the often daunting process of establishing and running a small business. And this e-book will be a major catalyst in growing your business.

But don’t panic – don’t shake your head and sigh, “Not another thing to do!”

Of course you’re strapped for time – that is part of the reason why you are reading this now. I know your time is precious and you have more than enough on your plate already – but it doesn’t have to be that way and you don’t have to take months or even weeks learning how to turn your business around or to take it the next step. 

The first thing you MUST do before you spend another day working on your business or before starting your business is to read this e-book because it will save you time - it will save you money - and it will save you heaps of emotional heartache.  

And it won’t even take you an hour to read! The tips are brief and to the point, they are easy to understand and to put into immediate use. In less than an hour you could have the tools to completely turn around how you view your business and how you succeed in your business.

17 Expert Ideas to Make Your Small Business a Huge Winner is only 38 pages – every word there for a reason – every word designed to enlighten, educate, motivate, reveal and inspire.

As one business owner wrote: “This is wise advice without any of the fluff.”

IN FACT - The simple, no nonsense strategies outlined in this e-book have the potential to change your business, financial and personal life.

Let’s face it, there is so much to think about – major decisions and all the small choices that could actually make or break your business – and it can take hundreds of hours to put your systems and strategies in place – find they are not working – try again – fine tune – and then realize in a state of desperation that nothing seems to work just the way you want or plan. And it could all come down to one simple approach you had not considered.

Just what I like – a short read that’s straight to the point. You can tell that Donna-Marie has actually ‘walked the walk’ and this concise guide to the crucial focus areas of business is practical and ‘down to earth’… This is wise advice without any confusing ‘fluff’, easy to follow and simple to implement.

Donna-Marie has very effectively condensed what I have learnt as a small business owner into a thorough, yet understandable book. The more I read, the more I found myself nodding and agreeing with her suggestions and examples - especially in the initial stages of a small business. I couldn't believe how well the book described practically all my own personal experiences and discoveries. I just wish I had had it by my side when I was first ventured out into self employment – it would have saved me a significant amount of money!

Ä        They are not necessarily the first ideas that come to mind.

 

Ä        They are certainly not the top tips according to some other books.

 

Ä        And they are definitely not 17 points that just sound good.

 

But they ARE the top ideas from my own experience and that of my clients over the years. They have all been put to the test and, wherever possible, they are all in use in my own businesses. Plus, they have ALL made a difference – in some cases staggeringly so – to the small business operators who put them into practice.

 

 

As a small business owner in the highly competitive computer industry, anything that can give me an edge is welcomed and in fact necessary to stay ahead of the game. Because the tips are brief and to the point, they are easy to understand and to put into immediate use. For example, upon reading tips 5 and 6 I finally understood what I had been doing wrong all these years from a marketing perspective and was able to change my approach quickly and easily.
