			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2 style="text-align: center;">Looking For Business Opportunities Brisbane?</h2>
<p style="text-align: center;">Unique Health <strong>Business Opportunities (Brisbane</strong> and expanding Australia wide) for those who already have a business in the health industry and/or those who want to tap into this industry for the future.<br />
<a rel="attachment wp-att-299" href="http://businessmatchmaker.com.au/business-opportunities-brisbane/business-opportunities-brisbane-2/"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-299" title="Business-Opportunities-Brisbane" src="http://businessmatchmaker.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Business-Opportunities-Brisbane-300x204.jpg" alt="Business Opportunities Brisbane" width="300" height="204" /></a></p>
<h3>Business Opportunities Brisbane &#8211; Health Made Easy</h3>
<ul>
<li>We all know that good health is simple to understand, but it is not easy to implement. If it was, we would not have the health crisis with rising levels of  chronic disease and the ever increasing need for more people to lose weight.</li>
<li>The problem is getting worse despite the rise in the number of professionals joining the Wellness industry (especially Personal Trainers)</li>
<li>As pointed out in &#8216;The Next Trillion Dollar Industry&#8217; (Dr Paul Zane Pilzer) there is a huge opportunity for those that come up with a solution</li>
<li>That&#8217;s why  Health Made Easy (HME) was developed (and continues to be developed) to provide a range of ongoing support, and professional information including nutrition, exercise, mental edge and a special interest topic on a regular basis that your clients can tap into</li>
<li>HME -  helps average people avoid chronic disease &amp; have more energy &amp; vitality every day</li>
<li>HME &#8211; helps Wellness professionals and people looking for a refreshing business model in a fast growing trend industry to develop additional income and/or recurring income.</li>
</ul>
<p>For further information on Business Opportunities (Brisbane Based) and/or to attend the next <em>Business Opportunities Brisbane</em> &#8211; Health Made Easy Business Owner or client sessions please fill out the form to the right.</p>

<h3>How does your RENT A WEBSITE system work?</h3>
<p>We are looking for businesses that usually already have a website, however they are not on the 1<sup>st</sup> page of google and rarely get any leads from their website. We then create one or more <a href="http://businessmatchmaker.com.au/blog/online-marketing">websites</a> in your business field that are highly ranked and will direct traffic to your current website in the way of click through traffic and leads from the quote/contact us form.</p>
<h3>I want to rent a website that produces leads for my business?</h3>
<p>We have a range of websites that are in creation so we may already have one in your business niche. Please fill in the form and we will contact you for more information allowing us to research your niche for <a href="http://businessmatchmaker.com.au/blog/business-marketing">business marketing</a> potential. We can not help every business niche because we may already have to many clients in your niche and it also depends on the business you have and how many people are searching online for that business.</p>
<h3>How do you know if a &#8220;rent a website&#8221; will work in my business niche?</h3>
<p>We research how many people search for your type of business in Australia or the world, depending on your market. We then look at the competition online and only if all the figures add up will we create a website. Our aim is to always create the ability to <em>rent a website</em> that bring you business. If we can’t help you in this way then we will recommend other forms of internet marketing that other companies can help you with.</p>
<p>For further questions please <a href="http://businessmatchmaker.com.au/contact-us">contact us</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: left;">Here at Business Matchmaker we hope to help in connecting you to <strong>Business Networking</strong> Events and Business owners with a similar desire to build a network of like minded people.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">This site is a directory of small business resources to help small businesses grow. It  includes a Networking events directory with all the major networking organisations in Australia.<br />
The aim is to save Small Business owners time searching the internet for resources and Business Networking events in Australia that are right for your business.</p>
<p>It is not the strongest of the species that survive nor the most intelligent,<br />
it is the one that is most adaptable to change.<br />
- Charles Darwin</p>
<p>In this economic situation what changes are you implementing in your Small Business?  What new actions are you taking? Do you own your business or does it own you? Are you going to Business Networking events? What sort of a Business Network do you want?<br />
Many Small Business owners tell us</p>
<ul>
<li>
<div>They would like to network but are unsure of where to start</div>
</li>
<li>
<div>They have been to Business Networking events in the past that did not work for them</div>
</li>
<li>
<div>They don&#8217;t know what to say or what to promote about their business</div>
</li>
</ul>
<p><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="443" height="299" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="src" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/8OfFwDxXjak" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="443" height="299" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/8OfFwDxXjak"></embed></object></p>
<p><strong>Successful Small Business</strong></p>
<p>Small Business owners who are doing well at the moment tell us they built their business on Business Networking many years ago.Very successful small and large business owners know that the most important thing is building an effective team of people both within and outside your business. That real life business education from those who have achieved what you want to achieve will fast track your success.<br />
Future Growth will depend on</p>
<ul>
<li> Effective marketing including the internet and returning to old ways such as Business Networking and word of mouth to grow.</li>
<li> The team of people that you surround yourself with</li>
</ul>
<p>As Small Business owners you are in a great position to implement change compared to the large corporate businesses. It is a time where you can stand out from the crowd by implementing changes to show how you are specifically different to other large and Small Business in your field.<em> <a href="http://businessmatchmaker.com.au/business-networking-groups/">Business Networking Groups</a></em> are an ideal place to   promote your unique features.</p>
<p><strong>Business Networking</strong></p>
<p>This has been around for many many years and is really the oldest form of business promotion. There are many fantastic books on how to get better at Networking. One of the best books ever written on the subject is called endless referrals by &#8216;Bob Burg&#8217;. Try Amazon.com or your local library.</p>
<p>Robyn Henderson has written many great books on Business Networking. You can find these at<a href="http://www.networkingtowin.com.au/" target="_blank"> networkingtowin</a>.</p>
<div>Suggestions</div>
<ul>
<li>
<div>take the focus off yourself and ask someone &#8216;who is your ideal client&#8217; then to do your best to refer someone to them.</div>
</li>
<li>
<div>Spend the majority of time asking the other business person about themself and spend as little time as possible talking about yourself.</div>
</li>
</ul>
<div>There are some great <a title="Business Resources" href="http://businessmatchmaker.com.au/blog/business-resources-to-grow-your-business/" target="_blank">Business Resources</a> that can help you to be very effective at this.</div>
<div><a href="http://businessmatchmaker.com.au">Business Matchmaker</a> is delighted to help you find some great <em>business networking</em> partners.</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The definition of a <strong>Small Business</strong> varies around the world. For example in the European Union it is defined as a business with less than 50 employees, in the United States as less than 100 employees and in Australia as less than 20 employees. Small businesses are privately owned and operated.</p>
<p><strong>Pros and Cons </strong></p>
<p>There are many positives and negatives in relation to owning and operating a Small Business. Some of the positives are, independence, being your own boss, making your own decisions, low start up costs and the ability to respond quickly to clients needs in comparison to larger, procrastinating, bureaucratic businesses.</p>
<p>Advances in technology in the last ten years have also made Internet marketing an attractive option for small businesses. There are a variety of ways to market your business online. Including <a href="http://businessmatchmaker.com.au/online-marketing/business-marketing">niche marketing websites</a>.</p>
<p>Research also shows that the person starting a very small, or sole operator business, sometimes overlooks the fact that their specific high technical qualifications or skills do not necessarily make them a good business manager. Often additional business management skills must be acquired.</p>
<p><strong>Establishment </strong></p>
<p>Setting up a Small Business can be a challenging and exciting experience. Sources of funding include personal savings, an equity loan on land or a home, a bank small business loan, loans from relatives or friends and by forming a partnership with another and sharing any of the above, and other, fund raising options. Also consider your internet marketing and online presence, as <a href="http://businessmatchmaker.com.au/online-marketing/business-marketing">websites</a> are now very affordable.</p>
<p>Once the business is established it is important to also establish some networking within your industry or professional group to gain and maintain social contact and to attempt to achieve the economies of scale that are available to larger businesses. An example of this could be a professional who, through his professional body or institute, can purchase less expensive, liability or professional indemnity insurance. This is possible because of the institute’s ability to buy in bulk or to even run the schemes themselves.</p>
<p><strong>Examples </strong></p>
<p>Small Business examples from around the world, some of which can be run from home include professional offices and rooms for doctors, engineers, architects, surveyors, accountants and solicitors, bed and breakfast establishments, restaurants, general stores, hairdressing salons, many and varied trades and photographic businesses.</p>
<p>Franchise small businesses are of course an option and are suitable for some who require a well known brand name, and therefore the strong purchasing power, but at a price that is affordable to them. One possible disadvantage is that the franchise owners may lose the very independence they desired when deciding to establish their own <em>Small Business</em>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>The Dream </strong></p>
<p>Many people have a dream of being able to <strong>Work From Home</strong>. There are of course many types of small business that can be run successfully from a home base, and certain personality types that will gain enjoyment and satisfaction from such work. However, any change from full time outside employment in the workforce to working from home, or establishing your own home based business, should be sensibly reasoned and carefully planned. Don’t make a change just to get away from a situation. Only make it if you have something new and exciting to go to. Otherwise the dream could become a nightmare.</p>
<p><strong>The Options</strong></p>
<p>There are many options for work from home, including starting up your own business in the same field as your previous job. In this case the hardest part is finding clients. If you want to generate leads for your business then an option is to rent prebuilt <a href="http://businessmatchmaker.com.au/online-marketing/business-marketing">highly ranked websites</a>. There are also lots of other options for working with the internet from home.</p>
<p><strong>Advantages</strong></p>
<p>If you are a self contained person with all the necessary skills required for the home business, you have the freedom to organise and control your work time on a 24 hour basis, around the many other family, social, spiritual and recreational activities in your life. If your work becomes too demanding for yourself as a sole operator, then you have the freedom to build a small work team, possibly including family, to assist with productivity requirements at that time.</p>
<p>The well organised and self disciplined person who can, with good technical and management skills, gradually build a home-based business with good cash flow, will gain much satisfaction from work well done. It will be especially satisfying if it leads to new clients because of existing client’s recommendation of your services. If you Work From Home it is also possible that you will build friendship with some of your clients. However, one should be also aware of the philosophy sometimes espoused that ‘There should be no friends in business’. One interpretation of this philosophy is that if you want a sustainable positive cash flow, work should not be done for ‘friends’ at a price lower than your normal price or for free.</p>
<p><strong>Dangers </strong></p>
<p>There is the danger that the dream of being able to Work From Home might be fueled by thoughts of escaping the corporate and high pressure business world and therefore of leaving behind demanding or lazy fellow workers, supervisors, annoying clients, tight schedules, company mission statements and personal productivity analysis. However, before rushing to establish a Home-Based Business take time to consider if you are the right personality type. Also consider that if you leave the corporate or outside business world you will leave behind, and might miss, the important inherent teamwork and social stimulation, the discipline gained from teamwork, praise for work well done, the sense of achievement, self expression, promotions and personal growth.</p>
<p><strong>Socialising and Networking</strong></p>
<p>If you choose to <em>Work From Home</em> on your own, it is important that you take the time to network and socialise to gain human contact and build friendships away from the home and business. This can be achieved through <a href="http://businessmatchmaker.com.au/business-networking/business-networking-groups/">business networking groups</a>, work related seminars and professional development days, as well as through service clubs, recreational, sporting, musical, artistic, family associated and spiritual activities.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here are some great places to search for <strong>Jobs</strong></p>

<p><img src="http://businessmatchmaker.com.au/" alt="" /></p>
<p>The search for Jobs is massively on the increase. Many people are looking for a new Job due to the loss of an old one or becasue they are working extra hours for no extra pay. Others are looking at a second Job or extra hours as their hours have been reduced. Centrelink estimates that 80% of work /Jobs is not advertised and in this economic climate it may be even higher as people attempt to cut costs in recruitment. We wish you well on your Job search and hope that you will find something that works for you. We recommend using your local <a title="Centrelink" href="http://centrelink.findnearest.com.au/findnearest.asp?groupid=931" target="_blank">Centrelink</a> office to search newspapers and jobs on their system and websites such as <a title="Seek" href="http://www.seek.com.au/" target="_blank">Seek</a> and <a title="Career One" href="http://www.careerone.com.au/?247SEO=N&amp;CMP=KNC-SEM&amp;referrer=gbrand&amp;type=P" target="_blank">Career One</a>. If you want to work in a small business then it may be an idea to attend some business networking events and let business owners know what you are looking for. There are many great contacts at a <a title="Business Networking" href="http://businessmatchmaker.com.au/business-networking" target="_blank">Business Networking</a> event and <a href="http://businessmatchmaker.com.au">Business Matchmaker </a>is  happy to help be of help.</p>
