Starting a business is not that easy if you are on a tight budget. You need to limit your expenses as much as you can by doing as many tasks as you can yourself - at least for the first couple of months.
One of the most important tasks of your newly founded business is bookkeeping. Bookkeeping is perhaps the most important task you need to master - before outsourcing it to a small business bookkeepers company.
That’s why we decided to write down these 3 Easy to follow Tips for new Business Owners that will help you jumpstart your business endeavors.
Don’t Pay Your Business Expenses Using Cash
Paying your business expenses using cash is actually a big no-no for small business owner. Even if buying a stationary for your office, you need to pay via your visa or via a bank transfer.
The reason is simple. It is easier for you to find these expenses through your bank account and add them as expenses to your business in order to get tax cuts.
Keep Your Personal Expenses Separately from Your Business
You need to keep your private finances entirely independent from those of your business.
Create a separate checking account for your company to avoid a ton of confusion.
Doing this will extend your business life because you will not spend money for your personal stuff from your business cash flow.
Always Check Your Books
According to several prospering entrepreneurs, reviewing your books on a weekly basis can keep you updated regarding the state of your business. By doing this, you will be much more ready to manage your income better, you will be much more ready to understand your weekly expenses and also, much more ready to know your current paid or unpaid invoices.

What It Means For Businesses Now That Mobile Internet Usage Has Surpassed Desktop
It was reported in November 2016 that there are now officially more Internet users accessing the web from their mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets than from their desktop computers. Data released by StatCounter shows that only 48.7% of visits came from desktops or notebooks while 51.3% of all web visits came from mobile devices.
The shift towards mobile devices over the years has been due mostly to internet users increased appetite for video. With the development of high-speed 4G data networks allowing people to watch more video from YouTube, on-demand programming services such as Netflix, more and more people are choosing to be online using their mobile devices for their portability allowing viewing on-the-go. However, online viewers aren’t replacing their laptops or desktops entirely when it comes to online viewing. Instead, they are watching the video across multiple screens or start watching from one device and switch to another if they need to be on-the-move.
It has been surveyed that two-thirds of adults own a smartphone with the average amount of time that they spent online on it has to almost 2 hours per day. Approximately 34% of all adults who owned a smartphone used their smartphones within the first five minutes of waking up.
“Mobile internet is now growing at the expense of all other media,” said Jonathan Barnard, Zenith’s Media Consumption Forecasts head of forecasting. “Seventy percent of Internet use is now on a mobile, and the use of a desktop for internet will fall by almost 16 percent, this year.”
“The expansion of mobile Internet consumption is an opportunity for traditional publishers and broadcasters, as much as a threat,” he said. “Traditional media has invested heavily in online brand extensions, and some of them have larger audiences online than they ever had for the offline products.”
What this means for businesses
The debate has long been over that to compete in the market today; businesses need to be mobile-centric, concentrating on both mobile apps and mobile sites. There are still businesses who haven’t quite embraced the mobile-first approach. Those are the companies that are losing sales for failing to create a better mobile experience for their potential customers.
Consider that 80% of moms have their mobile phones with them for the majority of the day with 33% making online purchases using those devices. Many of us research the products we are interested in on our mobiles before we visit the retail store.
To convert more of your website visitors into customers, your business needs to offer a good user experience to both your traditional website audience as well as your mobile visitors. Because more internet users are now viewing the web on their smartphones, they are more likely to see your mobile site before they ever see your desktop website. If they do not have a good experience such as the one they would have if you had a mobile responsive site, they are more likely to move on out of frustration or because your site was just too difficult to navigate because it was not built for mobile viewing.
Here’s a video from PeakEvolve.com — a web agency that deals with mobile friendly websites — that shows what an effective, mobile firendly website can do for your business.

R.I.P GUITAR HERO
Remember when Guitar Hero first made its’ way into the homes of every American household? The excitement was electrifying! It transported us back to our 15-year-old self and allowed us to rock out.
Ah…. Good times.
I think their success was due to the secret desire to be a rock star! Even students like me who’ve taken a few months of lessons never got close enough to stardom. Lessons were just so hard. Having a game that was based on colors, fun & popular music, casual musical experience and interaction with other rockers gave life to a dead dream. For that moment, I envisioned being on stage wishing it were that easy…
But, what if it really IS? I found a company that gives the ability to play in 60 seconds. That’s one minute! In lessons, mustering the energy to practice took 30 minutes. They claim to do this with their new color method innovation where you match colors just like you do in Guitar Hero. Decals are placed on your keyboard and matched with colored lyrics (sheet music) found on their database.
Funny thing is, the sheet music isn’t even music. It was a page of colored words. My 11-year-old self was expecting the frustration of Mrs. Fendle’s music lessons so seeing simple colored song lyrics was intriguing and encouraging, so I pressed on. With a little skepticism, I tried their “PLAY FREE” trial. No credit card is needed so I signed up.
They emailed links to the sample decals, a handful of popular songs and easy 2 minute tutorials. After a little time, I was set up and ready to match colors.
First stop, Adele. The quick 2 minute Adele tutorial was shocking because she pointed out in seconds what my piano teacher failed to do in 5 months. Sure, there’s no real learning going on and I’ll never play Chopin but it brought me further than Mrs. Fendle ever did. It was really easy to follow along and I didn’t have to know theory, practice scales and play boring music. I jumped straight to what mattered: the accompaniment.
With Guitar Hero, you match colors and rock your best air guitar. With ivoreez.com, you match colors and actually PLAY. Interesting….
Here’s a plus: Early 2017, they’re launching their guitar, bass, drums color match instruments so a group can play classic rock tunes in 60 seconds! Can’t wait to try that out with my leopard stretch pants and heavy eyeliner!
Here are the only 2 setbacks I saw: 1. It works best with songs you know because you’re playing accompaniment only. 2. If you aren’t a singer, you need to find a singer or hum/whistle along. Not a bad exchange for making me a rock star in 60 seconds, though. Overall, it’s a fun experience and I can see this becoming the next karaoke or newest gaming trend. So, give ‘em a try and prepare to be astonished
WHY KIDS CHOSE TO DITCH THEIR VIDEO SCREENS TO GO WILD OUTDOORS
This article is a repost from woodlandclassroom.com’s blog. WoodlandClassroom.com is a program made by James & Lea — experienced forest school leaders and outdoor educators — that aims to help people connect with nature, feel healthier and have meaningful experiences through positive activity and creative play.
Children are choosing to leave their screens behind and are opting for a new outdoor game which combines bushcraft & survival skills inspired by their favourite video games which aims to get them reconnected with nature and excited about the great outdoors once more. It’s been so successful that activity leaders across the globe are now signing up to run this game, Wildcraft Adventure, for themselves at their venues and joining the mission to get kids off-screen and outdoors.
Wildcraft, borrows themes from popular video games like Minecraft and is giving kids an outdoor experience they won’t forget. Though barely a year old, it’s been a huge hit with parents and children.
Contact us to find out more.
Taking Video Games to Our Wild Spaces
It was over a year ago, we were sat in our garden and asked the question; “For those kids who are spending too much time glued to their screens and have little interest in getting out into nature, how do we engage them in a way so that they choose to go outside? Simple, we take their video games outdoors!”
But this is not Pokemon GO, we’re not getting kids to take their mobile devices out into the woods and calling it ‘quality time outdoors’, they’re leaving those at home to play a video game style adventure for real in the woods which includes all the challenges they’ll be familiar with whilst at the same time engaging them in the natural world. Yes, there’s lots of hidden nature-learning woven into the game and they have to use their new knowledge and skills to gain points and experience throughout the day.
When creating Wildcraft Adventure, we did some serious research. We watched and spoke with children playing games like Minecraft and Terraria, and talked to parents about their experience of their children’s love of video games. It soon became very clear that although the children do get a lot of pleasure from the games, it’s become a real problem for parents, as they want to put a reasonable restriction on their child’s screen time. Parents told us that they faced an uphill struggle as there’s such an addictive quality to these games that restricting screen time can cause arguments in the family home. Many children do not seem to be able to easily drag themselves away from their screens. The more parents we spoke with, the more we heard about this recurring problem in the home.
We remembered back when Super Mario & Sonic the Hedgehog first came out. There are many common themes in video games such as collecting resources, protecting yourself from monsters, beating the boss, making potions and building your world, which all fit really well with the outdoor adventure we were creating. Our game requires players to use team building, problem-solving and lots of imagination.
Opening Up a Natural World of Adventures
Wildcraft is also proving to be a great gateway activity for kids who are coming along to our days and then wanting to know more about bushcraft, forest school and associated outdoor activities that are out there.
“Before coming I had tried to get (my son) to join in a forest school day but he said ‘it wasn’t his thing’. However ‘would you like to go on a Minecraft style bushcraft day?’ And he couldn’t sign up fast enough, he was so excited he couldn’t sleep the night before and you certainly didn’t disappoint on the day. Thank you.” Parent
We’ve heard so much about the growing concerns that so many parents have about the increasing amount of time that children spend in front of screens. And our Wildcraft Adventures are providing an antidote for that. We believe it’s really making a difference in inspiring children to get outdoors more.
“They were so inspired that they will be joining a local bushcraft group, so thank you.”Another Happy Parent
We’ve hosted over 35 of these events across Wales now, reaching hundreds of children. We’ve massed up over 4,200 hours of outdoor playtime for kids, when they might otherwise have been indoors playing computer games. So to us, that’s a really positive thing. Don’t get us wrong, we agree video games can be great fun, but what kids today need is a healthy balance in how they spend their time. Nature Deficit Disorder is a growing problem in our young people today.
Going Global
Woodland Classroom have teamed up with the National Trust and other venues across Wales to bring these events to as many children as possible. But they’re ambition to get more kids off-screen doesn’t stop there and now they have made Wildcraft Adventure available internationally to anyone who runs their own outdoor activity programmes so that they can run the event at their own venue. Activity Leaders in both in the UK and the US have already signed up to join the mission.
You Could Run Your Own Wildcraft Events
If you’re an activity leader who would be interested in hosting Wildcraft Adventure at your venue, then you can find out more HERE.
Wildcraft sets the players a number of challenges based in a whole day of activities. There are elements of forest school and bushcraft involved which combine with the video game theme to make a stand-alone lesson plan for experienced outdoor activity leaders to deliver.
“We’re really excited about the Wildcraft Adventure… I was really inspired by what you guys are doing. We’re looking for ways to get our kids out of the classroom, playing together. Your game gives us the perfect vehicle for mixed-age, cooperative, outdoor fun.” Brenda Sutter – Laurel Tree Charter School, California US.
In popular video games like Minecraft and Terraria, players have to survive in a hostile environment, build their own house, hunt for their food, search for materials and fend off wandering monsters. You can tell parents that their child may be able to survive in the wilderness on the computer screen, but can they do it out in the woods? Wildcraft slams down the gauntlet and kids are taking up the challenge.
What Parents Are Saying About Wildcraft
“Such a fantastic antidote to the ever increasing creep of the screen! Highly recommended and ever grateful.”
“My son had a fabulous time in a caring and safe environment. As an avid computer gamer, to spend all day outside living as a survivor was an amazing experience for him.”
“What an amazing experience for my son. Like many parents I worry about the time he spends on electronic games and the fact that I have to beg and bribe to get him outdoors. Not so with this genius idea to use popular computer games to tempt him into activities that I knew he would love if he would only give them a chance. When asked if he wanted to go again, my son’s reply was “no, Mum. I HAVE to go again.”
