I received a call from an old friend early last week. Geoff and I hadn’t spoken since he married and left for Denmark almost fifteen years previous and it was great to catch up. We’d originally met when introduced on a flight, London to Zurich. “Charlie, remember that flight to Zurich?” I’d surprised myself taking…

I met Karen recently. She has a start-up business and is now looking to generate new opportunities via ‘word of mouth.’ It’s always a pleasure to share new contacts with my own business community. The new connection is invaluable, although Karen may not ‘connect’ with everyone during her first meeting, she has the opportunity to introduce…

‘That’s typical.’ I said, talking to myself as I peered out of the kitchen window into a gloomy sky. Today’s public holiday, Sunday looks set to be a wet occasion. So Plan A is a no-go, and it’s time to adapt and play it by ear, ‘dog duty’ is always first-up whatever the weather, but the…

Not everyone attends for orders Chris. 50% of our group are seeking affinity and knowledge as much to bolster the books with an order. The best, most effect groups work with a healthy diversity in the room. Besides, my business is not the commercial offer that your particular supplies may be, Chris …

There are so many options open to us with the benefit of flexibility that comes with the solopreneur, if only we simply step out and take the opportunity that presents itself.

Change happens, so true. Sh*t happens to come along, and guess what? Change happens. We share with close connections and the trust goes deeper. We may be basking in a moment of success, a somewhat rare occasion when the day is cruising, uneventful, time is yours to play with … when it happens. Yes, change…

Another oft-overlooked advantage of joining a like-minded community is partnership. By putting the work-in, being brave, giving time to the room, we’re reaching a whole new community of listeners. Each of us have the potential to reach new prospects through recommendation. Word of mouth works … if only you give us something to talk about.
