And they’re off …
Yes! There’s nothing like the start of a new school year to get me going again. My eldest daughter started “big school” today (cool as a cucumber I hasten to add!) and my younger son squeezed his feet in to school shoes (shoes feel strange after wearing crocks for 9 weeks!!) and made it back [...]
How persistent are you?
Hindhead Tunnel now open! Yesterday saw the opening of the Hindhead Tunnel; a £371 Million road bypass project almost completed. It boosts to be the longest road tunnel in the UK measuring at 1.1 miles and is a most beautifully designed – almost TelyTubby like in appearance – piece of engineering work. The A3 is [...]
Does email have a strangle hold on your productivity?
Recently, I have been questioning my addiction to modern day communication. I’ve always had the ideology of checking one’s email just three times a day; once in the morning, once at lunchtime and once more before you finished for the day. However, when I got my first iPhone more than two years ago, I was delighted [...]
How healthy is your office?
Have you found yourself avoiding your office? Piles of paperwork piled high under your desk waiting for someone to file it all away. Receipts cluttering up the desk, with sad looking post-it notes reminding you of your most urgent tasks. Dust on the book shelves, filling in the spaces between the business cards you’ve shoved [...]
How to make a book launch rock!
There’s nothing like introducing a new product to the market infront of 150 hungry customers! And if there is one thing that Dee Blick is fantastic at it is bringing together an amazing group of people to launch her second marketing book. The queue to wait for her to sign her book was loooong! And [...]
How to make your clients feel good about themselves!
WARNING! Girly blog post coming up! If you really can’t read about muffin tops and mum-tums, click away now! Once again, I was faced with the old age dilemma. I had a full wardrobe but no idea what to wear. On Saturday night I was invited to a summer party and I had plans to [...]
How to stop faffing and turn your BIG plans in to results
It’s the little daily stuff that makes it all happen! Thinking big is good! You’ve got to have a plan. But starting the week paper shuffling, email faffing and hiding in Twitter is not going to crack it. And a big problem many of you seem to have (me too!) is being able to break [...]
Some will, some won’t, so what … someone else is waiting!
Your first one or two years starting up your own business can be mentally tough. You start from nothing and then find yourself with one or two clients. Your confidence grows and you nervously push yourself that little bit more. Perhaps get out to a networking event or call up a contact or two from [...]
One week? One month? One year? Or not at all?
If I was to ask you how far ahead do you plan your marketing, what would you say? Do you splutter in to your morning coffee and stammer “Plan? Do I have to plan my marketing?” Or do you merrily dig out out a your inch thick marketing plan that’s buried under piles of paperwork [...]
