Hi Everyone… I recently felt that my time spent following a particular path was coming to an end. I sensed I was tired; my enthusiasm was down to a minimum … I felt we (my community practice and I) had run the race, now becoming yesterday’s flavour. It wasn’t until I sat with a friend…

Building relationships online is the same as in any other community. How your audience comes to see and know you through the messages we’re delivering. Getting to know you, that’s important. Often, I see people enjoying our morning business meeting, introducing themselves through networking, looking to deliver the message of what they’re looking for, and…

While we’re busy now working ‘on’ the business, it is worth remembering that the cumulative effect of our efforts over time are the building blocks to our reputation. Word of mouth is so important, people like to buy from and recommend those whom they like and trust – business is personal.

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.

It’s relief, validation of her actions and in her product and service. It can be tricky for anyone wishing to start their own business. Today’s fickle, competitive, and somewhat demoralising world calls for a tough skin.

The past few years working for myself have been tough. I’ve noticed a tremendous change in the way people do business. Speaking with friends in my network, they all see the same … The familiar high-street names have disappeared from local focus. Woolworths, Miss Selfridge, Debenhams to name a few. Sure, some have resurfaced on-line…
