How social media can make or break your business

Why social media is a double-edged sword

It’s probably safe to say that social media has a variety of benefits; whether we’re talking about Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook, these platforms have allowed us to network and engage with others in a way that was unfathomable, just a few short years ago. The caveat, however, is that these very platforms are the same ones that have placed some companies in harm's way. 

Obviously, posting something as benign as your office’s potluck is no cause for concern, but what about the disgruntled employee who feels compelled to rant about perceived problems in the workplace or someone who discloses proprietary company information on these sites?

Running a small business

Many people dream of owning their own business. The idea of being your own boss and running your own business is appealing but it can be extremely hard work.

Whilst the thought of not not having to answer to a boss and creating your own dream business is idyllic, running your own business is a big responsibility and requires a lot of work and dedication.
