_survey-reveals-how-female-small-business-owners-measure-success.webp "One in four female small business owners has taken a pay cut in the past year, according to new research.<br/><br/>The survey of 1,000 female small business owners examined how their experience has shifted in the past year and found that the down economy has forced a quarter of these business owners to cut their own pay to keep their businesses afloat.<br/><br/>For those small businesses that have been open for at least a year, many have also raised the price of their product or service (37%), and more than a quarter are actively seeking less expensive resources (27%).<br/><br/>Conducted by Talker Research for Office Depot, the survey found that 53% of female business owners said the past year has been the hardest for their business.<br/><br/>In 2023, respondents expressed challenges with funding (42%) and growing their business (30%), which continue to be the top struggles this year (39% and 30% respectively).<br/><br/>Experiencing fatigue was more of a pain point last year (23%), while marketing is proving to be a greater challenge this year (25%).<br/><br/>However, hard work has paid off for many female small business owners this year, allowing them to reach their 2023 goals: growing profit (goal of 59%, achieved by 26%), gaining more customers (goal of 53%, achieved by 41%) and expanding their business (goal of 28%, achieved by 12%).<br/><br/>And to keep the momentum going, respondents predict they’ll continue to uplevel and succeed through continued revenue growth (63%), gaining more customers (54%) and business expansion (27%). <br/><br/>But success is also about a lot more than dollars and cents. Twenty-one percent of respondents said success is all about making a positive impact in their community and a fifth (21%) included innovation as a success marker.<br/><br/>And while the next year looks to be more positive for female small business owners, there will still be challenges to overcome, with inflation (39%) and funding (25%) serving as the top concerns.<br/><br/>To overcome these challenges, female SBOs are throwing themselves into their work more often — but how much is too much?<br/><br/>Work-life balance improvements have slowed by 15% since last year, as only this year, 58% said their work-life balance has improved since becoming a business owner, compared to 73% who said the same last year.<br/><br/>Women surveyed feel they need to choose between their family and their profession multiple times every month, while one in eight feel this way every week.<br/><br/>And overall, 42% said being a business owner has made it more difficult to balance their outside work responsibilities.<br/><br/>To better balance their work and family life, those surveyed are committed to “cutting back on working hours,” “taking time for quiet reflection” and “being willing to take a day off as necessary.”<br/><br/>For respondents who set up their business in the last year, top reasons include wanting to be one’s own boss (59%), deciding to pursue a passion or hobby (46%) and drive to put an idea into action (41%).")

_improvements-for-tenby-seafront-hotel-welcomed-after-39safety39-concerns-expressed.webp "Plans to rectify the poor state of the exterior of a prominent Tenby seafront hotel - labelled an ‘eyesore’ in recent years - have been welcomed, after safety concerns were raised that the premises could ‘pose a threat’ to public safety.<br/>Fresh concerns were raised about the structure of the Royal Lion Hotel located on High Street/White Lion Street, that overlooks the seaside town’s North Beach, at the start of 2024, with local councillors calling for ‘unsafe parts’ and ‘rotting’ timber bay windows to be inspected as a matter of urgency by the local authorities.<br/>Now a planning application (Ref: NP/24/0208/LBA) for listed building consent for replacement bays and windows, along with the insertion of a new door replacing an existing window and minor ancillary works for the premises has been put forward to the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority, by its owner.<br/>Tenby Civic Society has welcomed the proposals in their recommendation to PCNPA, stating: “We note that currently there is no information as to the material proposed for the windows, but in any case we would welcome replacement with wooden sash windows to match the originals.<br/>“The tall stairs side window could present some maintenance difficulties – others could be maintained from inside.<br/>“There was a little concern that the new door would open onto a narrow footway to White Lion Street - but Highways consultation could determine that.<br/>“If cost is a major issue, perhaps the most urgent replacements should be phased first, as there clearly are some safety concerns. <br/>“Maintenance costs have clearly stood out as an issue with this valuable building, important for its attractive period design and valuable role providing holiday accommodation. <br/>However, when discussing the application at their meeting this month, members of Tenby Town Council have asked PCNPA for more details on the materials to be used for the replacement windows. <br/>Councillors also stated that they were ‘concerned’ about the proposal to install a door opening onto White Lion Street, stating: “The carriageway is narrow in this location and vehicles often mount the pavement to pass each other which could compromise safety of individuals using this door.”<br/>")

_jeff-dunham-dishes-on-his-friend-tim-allens-really-dark-sense-of-humor.webp "Jeff Dunham has become known as something of a family-friendly comedian. He may let the occasional, mild curse word slip out, but for the most part, people would consider him to be someone who “works clean.” Despite his multiple roles as a family man on shows like Home Improvement, Last Man Standing and The Santa Clauses, the same cannot be said for his friend Tim Allen. Allen has been doing stand-up for decades, so a foul mouth is to be expected, but according to Dunham, this also includes a rather “dark” sense of humor.<br/><br/>I caught up with Jeff Dunham to discuss his Valentine’s Day special, Jeff Dunham: I’m With Cupid. While discussing his various television appearances, which included a guest spot on Last Man Standing, Dunham told me this story that properly exemplifies his friend Tim Allen’s way of “testing” folks.")
