THE POWER LIST


HASHTAG BHM
We all need a bit of positivity now and then to make us feel the world isn't so bad, especially on a Friday afternoon when the week feels like it's never going to end so I found this amazing list championing diversity in the creative industry. 

 The Dots put together this impressive list for Black History Month and asked 11 of their creative heroes to each nominate 10 leading black change makers and creators who are shaping the current climate with raw talent, big ideas and crazy hard work.

The founder, Pip Jamieson started The Dots, explaining she fundamentally believes in the power of diversity and how it can inspire the industry to think differently and create magic.

The Dots is a professional network for the people and teams that don’t wear suits to work. It's the best place to showcase your projects, build your personal brand, and collaborate with other creators. Connect with the jobs you actually want, and the clients you’ve always dreamed of working with.

I was at a business talk last month and someone in the audience asked the panel if a business plan was necessary?  The panel ...

Your vision is your anchor to stop you from drifting away from your higher purpose. You know where you are going, lead the way. -Code Lemon-

CODE: LIPSTICK

The Lipstick Effect  It's so important to understand what's happening in your environment whether it's socially, politically or economically. It can have a direct effect on your business either for the better or for the worst. Tightening the purse strings means that consumers are less likely to make big purchases like a sofa or a new bed or a new car and perhaps holding out for another year or two till till our wallets ripen up.  Therefore leading the way for smaller luxuries, que; The Lipsitick Effect.  The  lipstick effect  is the theory that when facing an economic crisis consumers will be more willing to buy less costly luxury goods. [ quote ] It's easier to spend £20 on a lipstick or some other beauty item opposed to £200 on a new mattress . We feel less stressed and pressured to not save £200 for a mattress making it far more easier to hand out £20 for a small luxury item. As explained in The Guardian there h...
