Business Update with Terry Gilbert – 21st November 2010

“Keep Up”!!

It’s all changing so fast – legislation, VAT, fuel costs, gas and electric, petrol. We must watch the trends and react to keep control. November/December predicted to be quite healthy, but brace yourself for January and February. Get prepared now and consider every type of promotional activity – sales, special offers etc. The pro-active business will cope with it, if the business is in a rut it will continue to spiral downwards.

The big indicators ie Bank of England, interest changes, inflation are exceeding all predictions, so the things out of your control will be improving to help. It is now down to you to grab the nettle and make the most of it. So I think I can wish you all a happy Christmas and I would love to add – a Prosperous New Year.

We all have a moan about Christmas

And everything going so bad

But when Terry got this letter from Santa

It made him feel ever so sad.

I’m sending this note to advise you

That taxes have taken away

The things I found most essential

My reindeer, my workshop, my sleigh.

Now I’m making my rounds on a donkey

He’s old, crippled and slow

So if you don’t see me at Christmas

I’m out on my ass in the snow!
