If you have just decided to buy a derelict home and don’t know where to start modernizing and beautifying it, you have your job cut out for the next few months. Whether there is a special charm in the building itself or you fell in love with the surroundings, you will have to make the space (interior and exterior) work for you. From checking the wiring to improving the curb appeal, you will have to pay attention to several details to get your renovation project right. Below you will find a few tips to get started.

1.Safety 

While it is common that realtors provide you with a property check and survey before you would buy the house, you will need to look out for risks once you are in the position to claim the real estate. With old buildings come certain hazards, such as pests, especially if the house was left empty for a long time. You will need to get a professional deep cleaning and disinfection company to take care of chemical and bacterial hazards. You have to get the electric and heating system tested for damage and leaks, so you don’t end up with some nasty surprises when starting to work there.

2. Energy Sources

The next thing you need to check out is energy sources. There might be an outdated oil furnace that will have to be replaced. You have to choose your energy sources carefully. If you are far from the main road and other houses, you might not get access to mains natural gas, and have to either get a tank installed, or use renewable energy sources. This might be the right time to get wind turbines and solar panels installed, so you can be self sufficient and have a reliable source of energy without having to pay companies for access.

3. Heating and Air Conditioning

If you moved into a derelict home, you might find that the heating and air conditioning system is either non existent or outdated. You will have to talk to a contractor about your options. Keeping the old AGA going might be tempting, but once you have the first bill, you will find out that it is not the best idea after all. Invest in a modern and efficient heating and air conditioning system. If you bought the real estate in a moderate climate area, you might want to give air pumps a thought.

4. Weather Damage

It is also important that you look out for weather damage and make sure that you don’t have huge cracks in the walls. When winter comes and the house is not heated, loads of structural changes can take place that you need to address if you want to safely enjoy your new home. There might be warped windows and doors that you have to change. You can shop around to find the right Replacement Windows so you can improve the energy efficiency and the look of your home at the same time.

5. Roof

One of the most common problems with derelict homes is leaks in the roof. If you decided to buy old instead of investing your money in a new built, you need to be prepared for this issue. If you need a new roof, you need to treat this as a priority, as you will want to keep the water out of the house. However, leaks on the roof are only a part of the problem. If you have old pipes and gutters that are leaking into your walls, you will have to get them replaced at the same time as your roof. Choose a system that is easy to install and comes with at least 15 years guarantee, so you can rest assured you don’t have to touch the drainpipes and gutter for a long time.

6. Insulation

Of course, insulation technology has improved a lot in recent years. If you would like to make sure that you don’t have to put up with a cold home in the winter, it is important that you add some secondary insulation to the house. From Polycell rolls to insulating sheets that can be fitted on the wall and decorated later using wallpaper or plasterboards. You shouldn’t forget about floor insulation, either. You lose a lot of heat through the roof and the floor, so pay attention to these problematic areas.

7. Curb Appeal

Once the house is livable, waterproof, and comfortable, you will have to start focusing on the curb appeal. If you have old and cracked stairs and rails, you will have to fix this. Give your new home a coat of paint. If you have cladding installed, make sure that you use a weatherproof paint that helps you preserve the condition of the wood. In case the house is built of bricks and has exterior paint coating, try a weatherproof and paintable solution, such as Rhinoshield.

8. Landscaping

Once the house looks like someone owns it, it might be time to take care of the garden. If you have a front yard, you might want to opt for easy maintenance solutions, such as paving stones and slabs. To add colors, you can have a couple of stone planters that you can fill with seasonal flowers. Chances are that you will have a lot of work to complete before you can feel at home in the backyard. Get a contractor to level the ground and lay the turf, fix the fencing, and add a patio. Talk to a landscape designer to get help with designing your rustic garden that will match the style of your new home.

Whether you are interested in creating something beautiful or decided to repurpose an old chapel and turn it into a unique home, you will need to pay attention to the details. Start with the basics, such as waterproofing and insulating the house, and move onto the smaller tasks, such as decorating the front and the back garden or painting the exterior, so you can move in as soon as possible.

Once you start your own business, set up a new side hustle, or launch a career as a freelancer, you will find that you become heavily reliant on your laptop. It will be the main tool that you use for work; without it, there would be no way of making any money!

So, as you can probably tell, any downtime due to issues and problems with your laptops can prove to be very expensive for you. Not only will you need to probably pay an IT professional to take a look at your laptop and try to fix it, but it will also mean that you will be out of action for a period of time. No work means no money, so you could see your income damaged by all this downtime.

If you are worried about the potential damage that downtime could cause to your income, you might want to make a note of these ways you can try and minimize it.

Get The Laptop Insured

It’s super important to insure your laptop. That way, you should receive a payout if the machine ever gets damaged or breaks in an accident. There are lots of companies that will insure your laptop, but it’s worth checking your home’s content insurance before you take out a new company as some content insurance will also cover laptops.

Save So You Can Always Afford A Replacement

There will be some cases in which your insurer refuses to payout to replace or fix your broken laptop. So, just to be on the safe side, it’s worth saving up so that you always have enough money in the bank to buy a replacement laptop as soon as you need one.

Keep An Old Laptop Handy

When you do come to replace your laptop, don’t be so hasty as to throw it out! If there is still some life in it, it is worth keeping it as a spare. You can then dig it out of your cupboard and start to work on it if your newer model starts to display some issues or gets accidently damaged. The old laptop may not be perfect, but it will help you continue to make some money as long as it is still usable.

Find An IT Support Firm

It’s always a good idea to find some outsourced IT support services so that you know who to call as soon as you notice some problems with your laptop. Most of these types of firms will have a helpline that you can call and then speak to someone who can help you get your laptop up and running again. If that doesn’t work, they should be able to send someone out to take a look at your machine.

Get Things Checked As Soon As Possible

Don’t delay if you do notice an issue with your laptop. If you do wait too long, the problem could develop to the point where it is unfix-able. So, get it checked in the early stages when the issue should be cheap and easy to fix.

Hopefully, you don’t need to worry about downtime again!

Break It Down Into Baby Steps

Start Teaching Yourself

You don’t need to go and pay for a class or take a course. You can start teaching yourself the skill. There are sites like YouTube that offer free instructional videos, and you can even find free courses online to help you. Sites like Easyukulelesongs.com are designed to give people free resources so they can teach themselves things themselves. Remember; start small!

Practice Every Single Day

You need to practice every single day, especially if you want to master a skill in a few months. Do it and commit to it, even if it means getting up early or going to bed late.

Know That Your Progress Will Not Be Linear

Don’t be disheartened if you feel like you’ve mastered something one day then lost it the next. Your progress will not be linear. That’s completely normal! However, your progress will improve over time, so just enjoy the journey and do your best.

If you are wondering why your website is not making any money, and are thinking about closing your business, you might need to take a step back and identify the most important problems to address them one by one. There are several reasons why your site might not get visitors or customers; from low visibility to poor design. Below you will find a list of the most common causes of no sales and some easy solutions.

Image via PXHere

Low Traffic

If there is an average conversion rate of five percent in your industry, you will need to get twenty people on your sales page to sell something. If it is anything lower than that, you will need more. Therefore, you will have to focus on getting targeted traffic, genuinely interested in what you have to offer. You can make use of various sales techniques, such as paid display ads, guest posts, feature articles, or Facebook advertising to get more people to visit your site.

Lack of Engagement

Even if you manage to get people on your site, they might not find it relevant to them. You have to create a unique web design that will talk your potential customers’ language. Remember that the first thing they will ask is “what is in it for me”. If they don’t get the answers, they will click on the next link and your bounce rate will go up, making it harder for your site to rank high for the relevant search engines.

Not Making the Most of Your Branding and Marketing Channels

Image via Flickr

You might be focusing on one source of traffic, instead of using them all. Multi-channel marketing is a great way of getting people to visit your site and measuring your results from various traffic sources. You might get visitors to one type of content, but there is no sales pitch on the site, and you are missing your chance to advertise your offers. You have to focus on various marketing channels to increase your visitor engagement.

Low Conversion Rates

You might also have a problem with your landing page. If you are directing loads of visitors to the particular page and the conversions are still low, you might want to change some things around and give your site a re-vamp. Either use variations of the headline or the design and do an A-B testing in Google or other services to see what works for your market. If you are using WordPress for your site, you can check out unbounce.com/integrations/wordpress to find an attractive and interactive sales page design that might work better for you.

Lack of Reputation

Chances are that if you have a new business nobody knows about, you will have to build your reputation before you can get higher conversions. Ask your customers to write ratings and reviews, share your page, and submit testimonials to help you build your credibility in the marketplace.

Not every website set up will make money. You sometimes need to take a step back and analyze performance issues to address them effectively.

This frightening reality needs to be a wakeup call to any of us who are currently running a business today.

What about you and your business? Hopefully, you will be seeing success and raking in the profits as a result. On the other hand, there may be factors that are preventing you from seeing the fruit of your labours. If this is the case, what is holding your business back? The truth may lie in some of the following examples.

You are not utilizing modern technology

What once was science-fiction has now become a reality. We are living in a world where modern technology is to be welcomed rather than feared. From the advances in cloud technology to increase productivity to the rise of blockchain and bitcoin to revolutionize commerce, we either play catch-up or fall behind our business rivals if we resist these latest technologies. To keep up with the latest trends, research is key. Where do we find the information we need? For starters, you should…

• a) Stay abreast of the world’s media to learn of the latest inventions that could impact your business. This means following news websites, as well as those sites that specifically cover the advances in tech. Take Cnet.com for example.
• b) Keep an eye on how your industry is utilizing tech, speaking to the appropriate people and recognizing services that can help you. Those in the real-estate industry, as an example, should consider the services provided by Ihtcoin.com when it comes to blockchain. You should also attend the latest industry events, such as conferences and workshops, to catch up with developments.
• c) Speak to people you know, be they staff members or industry leaders, who may be more ‘in the know’ about the latest developments than you are.

3. Your website is letting you down

As we have already discussed on theshakerofsalt.com, your website may be long overdue for a revamp. There may be particular aspects of your website that are off-putting for customers, and you may not be using your site to its full advantage. For example:

• a) Your website may be poorly designed, with an unappealing interface that repels rather than attracts your customers. There may be too many pop-ups for starters, or it may be difficult to navigate, leaving your customers lost and confused when they are trying to see what you have to offer. It’s a good idea to hire a web designer if you struggle with the aesthetic and practicality side of things when creating a website.
• b) Your website may not be optimized for SEO, meaning you are losing the potential to appear higher on search engine rankings. Quicksprout.com has an excellent article for those of you looking for ways to improve your web presence.

• c) Your website is not as functional as it could be, missing a range of features that can aid both you and your customer. Call-to-action buttons, social media integration, and an online chat feature are just some of the additions you should consider including on your website.

You are the problem

(image)

Unfortunately, this is often the case for businesses. While you would much rather attribute blame to any business failings elsewhere, there are times when you need to have a long, hard look at yourself to consider if it is indeed you holding your business back from success. By this, we mean…

• a) You are not managing your team effectively. You may be micromanaging them for a start, breeding resentment and disrespect in your faithful employees. Not only will their productivity take a backseat as a result, but so will yours as you spend too much time focusing on areas in the workplace that don’t adhere to your job description. You may also be struggling to deal with specific problems within your team. Sandler.com have a comprehensive overview on how you should be managing your team, helping you become a more effective manager.

• b) As a business leader, you have developed too much of an ego. Rather than improve yourself with training and extra qualifications, you are relying too much on your so-called strengths and your possibly outdated or misinformed ways of running things.
• c) You are doing way too much, burning yourself out and running yourself into a state of exhaustion. If you have a team of people, you probably need to learn the art of delegation. If there are areas you are weak in, you should use your team or outsource to others who can manage some of these tasks better than you. You aren’t superhuman, and you may need to accept that fact.

• d) As a counter to the above, you may be doing too little. We aren’t calling you lazy, but there may be ways your business could improve if you only put in a little (or a lot) more effort into making things work. This is especially true when it comes to your marketing attempts, which should never slacken, no matter how many sales you are making on a weekly basis.

4. Your customers don’t like you

You shouldn’t take this too personally, but there are reasons why they may not be falling head over heels in love with your business. We have already mentioned one reason why (your website), but there could be others. As examples:

• a) Your business rivals have more to offer the customer. Their products may be cheaper, they may have better offers, and their overall level of service may out surpass yours. Find out what your rivals are up to, plan on beating them to the punch, and win back those customers who had previously jumped ship over to your rivals.

• b) You aren’t keeping in touch with the modern consumer, be that with the product you are offering, or with the services you are supplying. Going back to the issues we mentioned earlier, you do need to stay with the times, such as using the technological processes highlighted on cocapterra.com to improve your customer service.

Finally

If your business is struggling, don’t ignore the issues we mentioned. A few tweaks here and there may actually bolster your operations, or a rethink of your business plan may be in order to revamp the way you are operating and managing your business. Let us know if you have any other useful suggestions. We wish you every success as you move forward with your business.

People often treat entrepreneurship like a hidden natural talent that someone is either born with or not. They think that famous entrepreneurs like Mark Zuckerberg and Warren Buffett are born with this natural talent and ability to make money and generate new ideas, or they think that they were born into the right circumstances and were lucky enough that their ideas were picked up and made them billions.

But the truth is far from that. It’s a very human thing to do–blaming others comes naturally, and making excuses for our own failures can happen all too easily. However, once the anger and denial settle, you’ll find that it’s probably your own fault that you’re not a successful entrepreneur.

Why is it so hard to become successful?

Let’s not beat around the bush here; becoming a successful entrepreneur does require a bit of luck in addition to personal skill. Being born into a wealthy family obviously improves your chances of having a successful business. You’re more likely to have contacts when you’re born into wealth, and you’ll have more savings that you can invest into business ideas to help you grow your wealth.

However, if you’re just starting from scratch (much like John Paul DeJoria, Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak) then there are a couple of considerations to think about in regards to your success.

• Successful entrepreneurs don’t know failure. They see their misfortunes as opportunities to learn and gain knowledge instead of being setbacks. Learn to embrace your failures and learn from them. Understand why you failed and what you can do to solve the problem in the future.
• Entrepreneurs that have a sense of purpose are usually always more successful. If you don’t feel like your business has a mission or a sense of belonging, then you’re going to struggle to stay motivated.
• Entrepreneurs that have an open mind are usually more successful. This is because world-class entrepreneurs are more accepting of new ideas. They know that they don’t have all the answers to every problem in the world and that their past experiences have a profound effect on the decisions they make. Other people see the world differently to you, which is why you should always have an open mind and be more accepting of ideas that differ to your own.
• Good entrepreneurs know how to be social. The right amount of talking is required; too little and you’ll find it hard to network and create a list of reliable contacts, and too much and you’ll be seen as annoying to work with and pestering. Utilizing social media is one of the most effective ways to be more social and get in touch with industry figureheads and influencers.
• Entrepreneurs also believe in technology. They believe in hiring software engineers and utilizing IT support companies like ATB Technologies to help them grow their companies. They’re not afraid of adopting new technologies, even if said technology is new and untested. They know that they have to be at the forefront of innovation to stay ahead of the curve, and they accept the risks involved when it comes to trying out new things.

If you feel like you don’t possess some of these qualities, then it’s a good idea to start working on it as a way to solidify your position as an entrepreneur. You’ll be surprised at just how effective these mindset changes can be when it comes to being successful.

However, even if you have the mindset, you’re likely missing another crucial component when it comes to being a successful entrepreneur; knowledge.

Stick to your beliefs as an entrepreneur

Learning is a process that everyone goes through when they want to study something new. For instance, you might decide to dive into a new industry that you’re unfamiliar with. You don’t know the audience very well, you’re not sure who to target and you might not have a clue how to design your products.

There’s nothing inherently wrong with trying to tackle an industry that you have no idea about–that’s why you have consultants and advisors to listen to. You see, an entrepreneur has base principals that they apply to everything. Each entrepreneur is different and the style of leadership that they use can work regardless of the industry. A good example of this is how Amazon treats its employees. Since its massive growth spurt and debut in several new industries over the past few years, Amazon’s employees have gone from cherished workers to disposable assets.

The style of leadership that Jeff Bezos uses is unique to his entrepreneurial goals. Amazon is one of the many companies that doesn’t actually make much money. This is because all of the profits are reinvested back into the company. Bezos is using all of his capital to grow Amazon as a business and take over more industries as it goes. It’s all about dominating the sectors that Amazon is a part of, and there’s little that smaller companies can do to fight against such a behemoth of a company.

This is something that others can learn from Amazon. It’s all about sticking to your ideals and keeping consistent. The knowledge you gain will come in handy as you apply your mantra to everything in your business. For instance, you could have an idea to provide excellent customer support above all else. You might decide to give customers refunds without question, or you could offer them extended warranties that other companies don’t offer. If you follow through with this purpose, then you might discover things along the way that can help you tweak your business so that it’s better for the customers.

For example, you might realize that offering a no-questions-asked refund policy can easily be abused, so you’ll learn from that small failure and apply that to your future ideas. You’ll learn that even if you trust your audience, they will still abuse your services and it could cost you money. Alternatively, you might discover that your audience is surprisingly honest even if you offer them no-hassle refunds, and this could teach you that it’s fine to trust your audience and you should give them the benefit of the doubt more.

In short, always stick to your beliefs and don’t stray from them. The last thing you want to show to your audience or even your employees is that you’re unsure about yourself. You’re in charge of a company and people look to you for advice and direction. If you lose motivation or lose sight of what made you become an entrepreneur in the first place, then it doesn’t inspire loyalty and it will quickly spiral out of control.

Learning as you go as an entrepreneur

Failure is actually one of the best sources of knowledge that you’ll find. If you’re able to fight back the fear of failure then you’ll discover that you can learn a lot from your mistakes. Even mistakes that cost your business a lot of money or bring you to the brink of collapse can teach you a lot about how you run your business and how to improve for the future.

However, learning from failures requires you to actually fail in the first place, but no one aims to fail and everyone wants to ensure that their business can survive instead of purposely throwing it under the bus. The best way to balance this is to follow your beliefs and apply new ideas as you see fit. However, always judge your success based on customer feedback. If your customers are really unhappy about a decision you have made, then scale it back and appeal to their needs. If your audience is demanding innovation and something new from you, then deploy your new ideas and watch their reaction.

You’ll soon discover that analytics and other statistical data is incredibly important to both the growth of your business and also your own knowledge. Analytics can empower your decisions and it will also tell you if a decision you made was good for your business or not. By using this data, you can create a much clearer representation of how your customers see your business, and this can teach you many things about their shopping patterns, their likes and dislikes, and also how to deal with many different situations.

So to conclude, it’s entirely possible to learn as you go and still become a successful entrepreneur. However, learning doesn’t just mean sitting in an office or a school room and learning from someone, and it doesn’t mean studying for years by reading books and blog posts.

Entrepreneurship is a journey and in order to become successful, you need to not fear failure. You need to embrace it and you need to be willing to try new things. By sticking to your company ethos and using sets of data to judge whether your decisions are successful or not, you can greatly improve your abilities and experience to help you develop a more successful career.

It’d be fair to say the bedroom is the most important room in any house. It’s the first and last thing you see every day. As such this, more than any other space, can have a real impact on mentality and wellbeing. Hence why it’s worth incorporating positive influences however you can.

A fantastic way to do this would be to bring the outside into your bedroom next time you plan on redesigning the space. This is a fantastic way to ensure your bedroom is a healthy and clean space. In no time, a design which focuses on the outdoors can lead you to feel happier and more at peace in a variety of ways.
Of course, unless you live in a hot country, literally bringing the outside in could get chilly. And, nothing’s worse than feeling too cold to sleep. In that instance, consider the following alternatives for achieving the same impact.

Incorporate plants

It doesn’t take a genius to work out that incorporating plants is a fantastic way to start here. This will bring the benefits of outside right into your bedroom. As well as making fantastic design features, plants purify air. As such they could bring health benefits along with them. If you don’t fancy taking up floor space with large pots, invest in dangling plants for your shelves. You could even hang baskets in your alcoves. Your bedroom will start to feel like a garden of paradise in no time.

Use natural materials where you can
It’s also worth using natural materials wherever you can.These can help to continue that natural image. What’s more, the fact these products don’t require varnishes could extend that healthy vibe. Ditch the carpet for wooden floor panels. Get rid of that metal bed frame for a natural wood option. These efforts will freshen and rejuvenate the space. Admittedly, you can’t always go au natural. For instance, it’s tricky to find a mattress which makes use of only natural materials. But, you can still make an effort here by opting for a mattress like the Tempur-Cloud Prima as found in Mattress 1st mattress stores. The gray trim on an option like this will blend with the natural materials you do have in place. Thus, even this will look fresh from the wilderness. Before you know it, walking into your bedroom will feel like strolling through the forest.

Make the most of natural light

Many of us make use of artificial lights in our bedrooms. To some extent, that’s a matter of practicality. You’re going to be there when it’s dark, after all. But, to keep the space harmonious, it’s worth making use of natural light. You could do this by extending your windows or even looking into skylights for your ceiling. You could even do away with artificial lighting altogether by making use of candlelight. All these efforts can go a long way towards keeping the space soft and calming. And, that’s exactly what you need from your bedroom, isn’t it?

It always seems like the holidays come around too quickly and they usually go by too fast as well, so it’s important to make the most of them. You need some ideas for how you are going to spend the holidays as a family this year. Of course, you want to get away and spend time together as a family, but there is so much choice in terms of what to do this summer.

The weather will (hopefully) be great, and there will be loads of awesome things to do. Consider what the kids would enjoy; after all, this is supposed to be a family experience. There are some stunning options to really help bring you closer together as a family. These are some of the great suggestions for how you can spend your holidays this year.  

Vacation

Of course, one of the most popular things to do when the holidays arrive is to take a family vacation. Getting on a plane and jetting off to some distant, exotic, far off land is an excellent way of spending time together as a family, and enjoying new destinations. There are so many amazing locations out there to enjoy, and it’s time to take the plunge as a family. Take this as an opportunity to start a tradition of vacations together, and explore different parts of the world that you might never have been to before.

Staycation

Of course, there is the alternative to a vacation, and that is a staycation. This is where you stay home and make your own fun over the holiday season. Or, you go away as a family, but you travel somewhere nationally as opposed to going abroad. There are plenty of benefits to this, the main one being that you will save a lot of money as a result. However, you also need to understand that there are some stunning areas local to you that you’ve probably never thought to explore, and now is the time to do that.

Interactive Family Fun Days

Now, there are plenty of opportunities you can take that will help you to enjoy time together over the holidays. You might not be going away, and if you aren’t you need to make sure you come up with some fun and exciting ways of spending time together. This could be anything from taking part in an escape room to attending Secret Cinema, to anything interactive. Interactive fun is so great because it helps the kids be more sociable and improve their lateral thinking and creativity. Interactive family fun days make for excellent trips out and will really help keep you occupied over the holiday season.

This year you might have some plans in mind for how to spend the holidays. A lot of people like to take a well-earned vacation, while others prefer a less chaotic staycation. There is also plenty of interactive fun out there that you can indulge in these days, and this is important. You want to have a family adventure, and this is all about making sure the kids are having a great time as well.
