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 complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?
The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed ππ²π
While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisationsβlike NZTAβmanage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.
Weβd love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
-
81.6% Community feedback and transparency is needed.
-
18.4% No. This would be impossible in practice.
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?
-
59.3% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.5% ... It is complicated
