Ask A Pro: Managing Stress As An Entrepreneur w/ Dr. Natalie Moore

Stress!

It’s that dreaded word that has a variety of meanings to many different people but can have such a mighty impact on the way we live our lives. Managing stress is of the utmost importance in this day and age as the effects of stress can be damaging both physically as well as mentally. This is especially true for entrepreneurs who are constantly torn in multiple directions while striving to be successful in their chosen fields. As one myself, I can very much relate.

So I wanted to find out what I could to do to manage my stress and achieve that work-life balance that I so strongly desired. As such I got a chance to sit down and chat with Dr. Natalie Moore, a Registered Psychologist with more than 12  years clinical, teaching and research experience and who also happens to be my cousin :).

Q: I’ve often heard the road to psychology is a long and hard one. What made you decide to choose it as a profession?

A: Yes, psychology is a long and hard road. Within this region, [Barbados] a psychologist  can be registered to practice with a Masters Degree. However, internationally, a Doctorate is needed for the practice of psychology. I chose psychology when I finally became aware of mental health. That is, I realised that many people were living their lives in psychological distress unaware that help was available; that life could be better, less painful.

Leveraging Culture for International Social Media Success

In the 21st century, culture and its importance to business and brand prosperity cannot be negated.

What really is culture and why is it so important?
Wikipedia explains that culture is “central to the way we live, experience and engage all aspects of our lives and the world around us.” In essence, it is the total sum of our attitudes, customs and beliefs that distinguishes one group of people from another.

You may be asking, how does this relate to social media success on an international scale?

It is important to realise that we live and operate on a global playing field. Through technology, the Internet and social media, we’re no longer confined to doing business in one physical location and frankly, that’s awesome. It’s the reason that I, living in Barbados, am able to share this blog post with many around the world. However, to be successful in social media away from home, you need to be aware of the culture of the market you’re looking to enter. In the long run, this can ensure significant business success.

Let’s Give Them Something to Talk About: Social Media & Your Small Business

Should I be on social media? That’s the question I get asked most from my small business clients. Every marketer or social media consultant I know would give the same answer – Yes!
