Just because you have a bad memory…..

….there’s no reason to be rude!
I have mailing lists going back many years and decided that I would have a clear out. I was afraid to just hit the delete button in case some of the people would still be interested in what I have to say.  So I decided to upload them into my mailing program in order to clean them of dead addresses and to give the people who were not on my wavelength the opportunity to un-subscribe.

Don’t get out! Don’t talk to people! Stay in your comfort zone!

If these words are music to your ears then join the club. There’s nothing I would like better than to be able to potter around in the office, produce new products and then wait until the business comes in as if by magic!

So why shouldn’t it work like that?
Hey, I’ve got a great website! My products are great! I am a nice person with integrity!

Not enough guys! You can have the best products in the world but if no-one knows about them then you may as well forget it!

So how do you find this elusive yellow brick road?

Has your business suffered due to the credit crunch?

It’s not often that I blatently promote something but for once our government has made the right decision to help ailing businesses in the West Midlands in The UK. It is a fact that the West Midlands has suffered more than any other area in the UK and at last this is being addressed. So I am un-ashamedly championing this directive, namely, The Business Recovery Service.
If you are a business in the West Midlands, UK, and you are struggling, The Business Recovery Service will provide a FREE responsive, targeted service to West Midlands small to medium enterprises that can demonstrate they are ‘at risk’ due to the current economic climate.

This dedicated service will ensure that businesses have a strategic business recovery action plan that will initially stabilise the business and stem its losses to ensure its survival. The business can then be introduced back into the mainstream business support.

What does this free programme deliver? Read more

The IPad – I want one.

I change my mobile every 6 or 7 months for no other reason than I fancy a change.

I buy something then use it for a little while then, when the novelty wears off, I sell it on Ebay.

If you were to look at my Ebay profile you would see that I actually admit to being a gadget freak.

I have been hankering for an e-book reader and have been doing some extensive research on them but I am so glad that I haven’t succumbed as I have fallen in love with the idea of having the new Apple IPad.

I have got to say that it’s one of my failings, I fall in love with the idea of having something but once I have it in my sticky hands there is always an anti-climax. I think the fun is in the chase and the more difficult it is to get the more excitement for me.

The one thing I hate doing is waiting, if I want something I want it now! I want the IPad, the one with all the bells and whistles but shock horror, I will have to wait until at least April 2010 for it – oh the pain!

Well according to the Apple website, it is going to beat netbooks and e-readers hands down….oooh can’t wait!
So watch this space for my honest review when I get it in my mits!

    • "Success - To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived; this is to have succeeded."
