Does your website have a virtual tour? Well, it should!

Potential customers are less likely than ever to show up to your establishment without having scoped you out first. They’re now going online to research the best places to go for the right occasion. For example, if I’m researching places to meet a client, I’m looking for somewhere quiet, bright, and convenient. Fearing I’ll drive right by the location, I’ll look for exterior photos to see if the business is located in a strip mall or on a busy street. The more I know, the less likely I’ll be to end up lost! Maybe I’ll look at the interior photos to know if there’s ample seating and appropriate lighting.

Be Decisive

“Decisiveness is a characteristic of high performing men and women. Almost any decision is better than no decision at all.” – Brian Tracy

BE DECISIVE!

You achieve any goal more rapidly when you become more decisive. Making powerful, important decisions, and eliminating the clutter makes you more focused on your goals. When you make clear decisions, you become laser focused on charging at it. You get closer to your goal and your goal gets closer to you.  Making a decision moves you from doubt to action!

How To Get More Done During the Day

Guest Post by Dave Magrogan
CEO of Kildares Irish Pubs


Probably one of the most popular questions I get asked from other Rhinos is, “how do you get so much done in a day?” Most Rhinos have the same problem: lots of great ideas but not enough time.  It doesn’t matter what you do for a living; your time is very valuable and you need to maximize it. It doesn’t matter whether you are a customer service representative, a school teacher, a lawyer, doctor, salesperson or entrepreneur… TIME IS MONEY! The better you manage your time the more money you can earn in your lifetime. Better time management will result in promotions, raises, more customers, more opportunities and more money!

It’s easy to get caught up in the social media hype and feel as though your bar or restaurant is getting left behind. That being said, many bars and restaurants seem to be using social media just to say that they are online, and they aren’t really getting anything out of it.
