Recession
Maybe youβre feeling overwhelmed, uncertain and a little out of whack with all thatβs going on right now. Are people whispering "πππΈππππΎππ πππΈππππΎππ" in your ear? Should you keep calm and carry on? Or should you join the crowds and buy ALL the pasta? I donβt have all the answers, heck! Iβm not sure anyone does But I want you to know that Iβm here and Iβm riding this with you.
In the last few days Iβve been speaking with many business owners about their social media. And here are the top takeaways that I hope will help you navigate this time
1__________Make sure your website is in tip top shape. Driving traffic ads to a great website gives you the best chance to convert.
2__________Ask your audience or customers βHow you can helpβ or describe the problem and why your business solves it.
3__________Take care of yourself. Diamonds are made under pressure.
How are you handling business as we deal with the current time?

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, thereβs a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need πͺπ°πͺ
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship β like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.9% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.8% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated

Late Summer Harvest!
Experience a sun-kissed day at Howick Historical Village, celebrating the last of summer's bounty. Explore how the seasonβs harvest was gathered, preserved, and enjoyed in the 1800s, before the season changed.
The end of summer was a time to enjoy long, warm, dry days but also to prepare before autumn crept in. Pantries were filled as food was preserved, boots were waterproofed, curtains rehung. Honey made by busy bees all summer, was extracted from the hives.
Join us to experience the gentle turning of the seasons, where work and pleasure met, and the closing days of summer were truly cherished! Churn cream into butter or attend a Victorian school lesson. See the blacksmiths and woodturners at work and learn the art of bookbinding. Meet the Village beekeeper in a talk at 2 pm. Taste fresh baking, hot from the coal range in Puhi Nui Homestead and the bread oven. Visit the sweet shop filled with old-fashioned lollies and fudge!
With games, crafts and performances by Morris dancers at 11:00 & 12:00, and the bagpipe band at 12 pm and plenty to entertain all ages, this will be a Live Day not to miss!
Admission: adult $18, student/senior $14, child $10, family $46. Child under 5 years, members & annual pass holders - free entry.
