Boo! ?? We missed valentines, galentines, palentines! Whatever you celebrated or avoided! But we know that loving what we do and the love we have for helping our clients isn’t just a one day thing… So we’re pretty ok with missing the commercial hype that the day of love brings! If you’re looking for a partner that cares, send us a message to learn how we could collaborate on a marketing project with you soon! #collectivecompanion #CC #marketingexpert #marketingproject #socialmediapresence #marketingstrategy #consultationcall #collectivecompanion #socialmediamarketing

Some dates are always special such as today, the date when we launched Silver Talkies Club six years ago in 2018, based on the inputs from attendees of our events. They wanted to meet more often, know their co-participants better and have more fun and engaging opportunities. Hence Silver Talkies Club was born in a time and age when active ageing, loneliness and isolation among older adults were not spoken about or discussed much in our country. I was in fact told by many peers that I was playing in a small niche field. Fast forward to 2024, almost every new player in the senior care space is looking at addressing similar issues with similar models. Did we start too early or did they start too late? I think it is immaterial for as they say that all's well that ends well. What is most heartening for me is to note that in the pic below all the people who became members in 2018 are still members in 2024, with the exception of one member whom we lost a few months ago. Six years of relationship still doing strong! So we must be doing something right:) Cheers to healthy ageing! #olderadults #activeageing #seniorcare #healthyageing #anniversary

If you’re looking for loss of medical insurance as a trainee pilot, Stein pilot insurance comes as a recommended supplier by many CAE Cadets! Loss of medical insurance will protect your training investment if you were to lose your class 1 medical during training. I’d encourage all Cadets to take it out. #pilottraining

19 years is a long time for a small business to survive, much less thrive, especially in tech. These elements have seen me through and kept me passionate about, and relevant in, this space: ?? Curiosity: An almost endless curiosity about business challenges & how technology might play a role in the solutions ?? Flexibility: More than just adapting to change, our team thrives on change and get bored when things are static ?? Integrity: We're not bound to external sales goals or growth targets, and our clients know we care about their success more than we care about an extra dollar ?? Global impact: We've touched hundreds of millions of lives with our education, financial and health solutions, leaving things better than we found them Let's see what we accomplish in this next year! #wosb #smallbiz #femaleEntrepreneur #womenintech

Math is like magic. To the untrained eye it can seemingly produce incoherent results, however, when learned and understood, can produce insights of unimaginable beauty. Running marketing campaigns in your business as an entrepreneur, with or without ADHD, can have similar results. You just need to learn and understand how your business and your mind works.

Kindness and Patience Are Invaluable 4. Always Remember Those Who Believe In You 5. Money Isn’t The Only Thing of Value 6. Surround Yourself with People You Can Rely On 7. Don’t Forget to Smile Read the wisdom behind each lesson here!: https://lnkd.in/gga5gei5

We are celebrating our 1st year ?? Here is what I wish I knew before starting Credit: at the beginning stage, your company will not have any credit. Therefore, it can be extremely hard to move freight, unless you already have a big driver base that trusts you. In many cases, you can offer the drivers payment before the delivery, and they will still refuse to book, because of lack of trust. Niche down: choose a small niche, and start doing research. Learn the common issues that shippers face in this specific niche. Come up with solutions to those issues. Focus on these solutions, when doing cold calls or sales in general. Overhead: As you start growing, you will get many calls and emails from companies offering services (tracking services, TMS, marketing, customer leads, business optimizations, credit improvements, etc.). Most of these services will have a binding contract, meaning you will not be able to cancel these services unless the contract ends (some can last up to 3 years). Think twice, before accepting any of these services, because most of your customers can switch to a competitor in any day. This can result in a situation of low cash flow and high overhead, potentially leading to bankruptcy.

A Valentines day treat for the Applicants!!! In this matter the court had to consider whether the Respondent had complied with an arbitration award or not. This application was brought by the Applicants who had been employed part-time by the Respondent as cooks, and the Respondent would call the Applicants to work once an activity requiring their services occurs in the workplace. The Applicants received R 100 per day for their services and worked for 5 days on average in a month. The Applicants were dismissed from their posts and new employees were appointed to their positions. The Applicants reffered an unfair dismissal dispute to the CCMA and the commissioner found that their dismissal was procedurally and substantively unfair and ordered the Respondent to reinstate the Applicants to their positions on the same terms and conditions before their dismissal. The Labour Court is granted powers under section 158(1)(c)of the Labour Relations Act to make an arbitration award an order of court. The court accordingly made the CCMA arbitration award an order of court. The court in reaching this decision reasoned as follows: "The ordinary meaning of the word "reinstate" is to put the employee in the same job or position he or she occupied before their dismissal. Reinstatement is aimed at placing an employee in the position he/she would have occupied but for the unfair dismissal". The Respondent in this matter had reinstated the Applicants and did not use their services for a period of 3 months meaning they were not renumerated throughout this time. The Respondent failed to comply with the arbitration award as it no longer called the Applicants to come and offer their services as and when they were required which was the position before their dismissal. In consideration of this the court made the arbitration award an order of court and ordered cost in favour of the Applicants. Chocolates and flowers for the Applicants ??
