How S.M.A.R.T. Goals Help You Move Your Business Forward

By: Patricia Zeegers

It really doesn’t matter what kind of business you have, how big it is, or in what phase of the lifecycle it is. You’ll achieve a lot more in less time if you have well defined, specific goals. Learning how to set goals can make the difference between failure and achievement.

Why are Goals Important?

Having a set of specific goals will help you stay focused on what matters most. Setting goals for your business helps you to be effective.

Having goals that are clearly defined also helps you take decisions faster.

Uw website in meerdere talen

Door: Héctor Cortés Fernández

U heeft een mooie website met interessante inhoud maar u krijgt niet genoeg klanten. Waarom? Een van de redenen kan zijn dat uw potentiële klanten de inhoud van uw website niet begrijpen omdat de inhoud in een andere taal dan hun eigen taal beschikbaar is.

Is uw website in meerdere talen gebouwd?

Als uw website op internet is gepubliceerd, betekent dit dat u bezoekers van verschillende nationaliteiten in uw land of vanaf het buitenland kunt krijgen. In welke talen is uw website beschikbaar? Krijgt u bezoekers die de inhoud van uw website niet begrijpen wegens de taal? Als dat zo is dan loopt u het risico om potentiële klanten te missen. Uw website moet in meerdere talen gebouwd zijn.

Flamenco amongst friends

a review by Fiona Flores Watson on her visit to Flamenco Esencia

Even though I’ve been living here in Seville, the cradle of flamenco, for more than 10 years, what I’ve learned about the art form could fit on the back of a postage stamp.

I prefer to close my eyes and get swept along in the spine-tingling, raw emotion pouring from the performers, and they spin and stamp and shout. Music has a great power to move us, take us to places deep inside ourselves – nothing makes me cry as easily as music. And flamenco is so… visceral.
