Our parents and teachers taught us the importance of a positive mental attitude. As a small business owner, your outlook will more than likely be the deciding factor between success and failure.

Running a small business is not a sprint to the finish line…it’s a marathon. Condition yourself for success by following these tips to maintain your winning attitude:

The best credit cards for big purchases

If you have some serious spending on the horizon, which plastic friends should you turn to?

Many of us use credit cards in order to accrue points or build up rewards from our loyalty scheme of choice. Perhaps you collect Nectar points, in order to get money off your shopping, or make use of a cashback credit card, so that your spending is rewarded at the end of the year with a nice cheque.

And these cards are great, so long as you pay off your balance in full each month. But what about if you have a big purchase on the horizon, a wedding, holiday or baby on the way? Which cards are best to cover these larger costs?

Think, for a minute, about the technologies that are vital to your small business. For many of you, Microsoft Outlook and your smartphone are critical to your day to day business communications.
