Happy Monday!

Here’s the Business Buzz with A Helpful Trend, Tip, Tool, and

a Hot Take from HiveThink to help you this week.

01 HiveTrend - Micro-Influencers

Micro-influencers are social media users with smaller but highly engaged audiences, typically between 1,000 and 100,000 followers.

Businesses are increasingly collaborating with micro-influencers because they offer a personal touch and often have high credibility with their followers.

Why not give it a shot and see how it does? Find a micro-influencer that aligns with your product/service and values, and then come up with a way you could work together.

02 HiveTip - Environment Matters

What results do you want for you, your team, or your customers?

How can you change your environment to make those things easier and more appealing to do?

03 HiveTool - Gmail Tip

Gmail has a "Snooze" feature that allows you to temporarily remove emails from your inbox and have them reappear at a later time.

This can be useful if you receive an email that needs your attention but can't be dealt with immediately.

By snoozing it, you can stay focused on what's important without losing track of the message.

04 HiveTake - Effective vs. Efficient

Effectiveness is about making sure you that WHAT you’re doing matters. (Right tasks)

Efficiency is about making sure HOW you’re doing a task is faster and/or takes less effort or steps. (Optimized process)

It’s better to get a passing grade on the right tasks than to get a perfect grade on a task that isn’t actually helping you achieve your goals.

That being said, once you’re working on the right things, optimizing for efficiency on those right things is a powerful accelerant.

Until next time,
