Is it Better or Worse to Have More Than One Project on the Go?

juggling_colorized

There are different schools of thought on concentration and whether its better to have one thing on your plate or several. We believe that having more than one project on the go at once, will actually increase productivity and focus, below are the reasons why.

1. It breaks down established patterns the brain creates when it focuses on one task for too long

2. You obsesses less about the little things as there is less time

3. Make less mistakes as you learn to trust your first instinct again due to having less time to focus on one point

4.  According to an article in the RSA journal, author John Kay says micro-management of goals ‘fails because complex goals are rarely best achieved by detailed planning  based on define and quantifiable objectives.’  Thus focusing on more than one project will allow you to be reactive and let the goals drive themselves.

5. Become better at time management weeding out what is and is not important. Its easy to create thousands of superfluous tasks when focusing on one project, however when your plate is full you soon realise that many of these tasks are simply unnecessary or transferable.

The Day after Simplicity

simplicityday

Simplicity Day is finished for this year and thanks to minimoko it was a success. In first part Harry from minimoko spoke about the power of simplicity and why companies that adopt it  thrive. One of the key advantages is that it eliminates the unnecessary, giving way for clear and usable ideas.

In the second part there were some valuable points raised in regards to creating ideas. De Bono created some practices to help generate ideas, below are a few to consider.

1. Find new ways to see things, turn things upside down.

2. Illimenate the obvious, even to the point of absurdity.

3. Create new pathways of thinking to create more elasticity in your brain.

4. Have a point in the idea generation stage where there is no judgement, just let the flow of ideas go.

5. Create new points of association to break pattern, for example use a random word,colour, or even situation as the starting reference for a brainstorm, if you get stuck.

This is our last internal event, until the 2 of September where will be launching CUBEAGENCY Night, until then have a lovely simple summer.

THECUBE is located in East London and we provide events, talks, coworking space, and virtual offices space services.

Choosing the right Virtual Office Space

It’s actually not just about having a good business address but the right address that matches your business. Certain areas in a city are recognised for certain types of goods, Savile Row for its suits, Bond Street for designer clothes, and Covent Garden for its tourist friendly boutiques and restaurants.

In this same way East London is being recognised for its ideas, this is the place where technology, fashion, design, finance, and creativity converge. Its an incredibly exciting area which is perfect for incubating ideas.

THECUBE provides a perfect address for businesses that are looking to be part of this emerging side of London and capitalise on the trade that is being created.

The Importance Of Community

workspace4

 

In any entrepreneurs journey one of the first steps into a solid marketing process is community. At the end  of the day businesses cannot survive without the continual support of the community of which they are built on. 
There is plenty of money to be made out there, people are looking to spend their money in products or services that they value, so open the doors to your idea and let them in.
1. If you are the very start of your idea, hold local think tanks ask what is the best way to communicate your service/product.
2. Hold mini events where people in your community can test out your idea and give you feed back. Use them as your focus group.
3. Reward the community effort by giving them special deals, introductory offers, or simply leave a section of your business dedicated to enhancing the community.
4. Even in regards to raising funds, if you start locally, you can hold fundraisers for both your idea and others that are wanting to start something. In Scotland a local entrepreneur has started an independent bank to lend to other small start-ups. There is nothing to stop other communities from doing this.
5. By starting locally you are creating a market for your idea, so when its time to launch, you have a tribe of followers behind you.
6. Expanding to other tribes is good and it help build rep, but don’t forget about the community in expansion as it gives you loyalty and consistency.
7. If you are fully integrated in your community, they will not let you fail as you are part of the fabric and personification of the local area.
At our coworking space, we offer many platforms for the local community, such as events, clinics, advice, and this summer we are doing open CUBETHINK. This not only helps generate future business for THECUBE, but it also makes our community stronger, more informed, and supported. We are only as strong as the weakest link, thus a strong community is going to breed strong businesses and that will create a lasting economy for everyone.
THECUBE offers different membership packages as well as virtual office space, for more information about joining our community, please send us an email info@thecubelondon.com
