Hello again
Everyone is talking about the economic downturn, including our members and how great that you are continuing to be so positive and spirited with your emails and comments. I thought I'd share a few with you:
Rebecca Bishop of Dandelion Graphics says "I do have some general advice about coping with the current climate and that is - switch the TV off when the news comes on! It's depressing hearing about the financial state of the country every day and it's not as bad as the media make out if you get out there talking to real business people".http://www.dandeliongraphics.co.uk/
Sonya Lee Davies of Etiquette says, "I won't be able to help you get rich, however, we do guarantee that you will feel much richer after first 10 weeks with Etiquette". http://www.etiquette121.com
Suzie Young of Urban Kneads adds "nuture relationships with existing clients and keep in regular contact with them so as to gain a stream of mouth referrals and feedback on other products and services they would like to buy from you". http://www.urban-kneads.com/
From the conversations I have had with many of you recently it seems that you are taking the opportunity to look very closely at what you are offering, how well you are doing it and who your target market is 'adding value' one way or another together with a little more flexibility in how you operate.
So far, touch wood, it hasn't affected me but then you'd expect that I hope ...... it's like a red rag to a bull to me. I just like to go out there and get more business to defy the odds. It's a great feeling when you know you've really earned it too.
Hope to see you all at next Wednesday's Colwick Hall Event.
Keep smiling
Ann

Rising High in Turbulent Times
Good day
Funny where a chance conversation with someone can lead you? A few weeks ago when I was talking about the last recession in the 90's and the fact that I doubled turnover as a result of quite frankly getting sick and tired hearing about the doom gloom, I suddenly get asked to talk to businesses about coping with the recession. It was nothing to do with the person I had the conversation with, though maybe it is on a subliminal level. Which reminds me about one of my previous bloggs on 'The Law of Attraction'.
And then today, with a little help from Louise Third of Integra Communications, Heart FM get in touch for an interview next week. Hurrah! Once again, I've already decided to up my game and have a better year personally and professionally this year than last, which is quite something because last year was nothing to complain about.
So what's with the title, 'Rising High in Turbulent Time'? From my perspective, rising high is a choice. You can ride the quest of the wave or get pounded by it's force. I'm made a few strategic mistakes I admit it and some have cost me dearly, but it's where we go from here. Whether you are a business owner or employee there is one thing for sure. Remaining static could be a dangerous choice. Getting out, getting known, getting seen and being remembered is certainly going to work in your favour, if not immediately, then very soon. Don't forget, think it, feel it, see it and the Law of Attraction will do the rest.

The Message in a Brand
I'm on a roll now. This is my second blog today. What have I learned? Clearly if I diarise it it gets done. Hardly brain science.
I was sitting in the reception of a client company, Cummins Generator Technology, yesterday when I picked up their corporate magazine and flicking through it I came upon a little red folded up booklet which informed all Cummins' stakeholders 10 Top Things To Know about their brand.
It made fascinating reading and I was kindly handed a complimentary copy of the magzine to take away with me.
So I've decided to model their example and put something in words today that I hope will help to reflect what me and my company's brand promise is all about.
It's more than a phone call to confirm your appointment. More than an email to answer your query. More than a meeting to explore the problem. More than a question to stimulate your thinking. More than listening behind the words. More than observing to see the shifts. More than acknowledging your commitment. More than believing your intention. More than expectation in your promise. More than achievement in your endeavours. It's all of these things and something more. It's the sum of past experience and the promise of tomorrow. It's the one thing I hope you can trust. My brand.

Mind Crunch or Credit Crunch?
Hello again!
I know....... long time no blog! And since I have dedicated today to catch up on my writing (aren't you so proud of me Kirsty? ...she's the influence behind anything I do Web/IT wise) you may well see an abundance of blogs and articles over the coming months. Well let's face it, unless it's in the diary, does it get done? Must be something to learn from that!
So, where to start? Well the last 3 months have been some of the most interesting I can honestly say I have had in my life. Funny isn't it, over the years I've been on scores of courses, listened to endless tapes (or is it Ipods today?), read hundreds of books and spoken to many many wise and learned people that you'd think that I'd have the secret to the universe. But there's nothing quite like 'experience' when it comes to learning and change.
So now you are sitting there expecting to read about some catastrophic incident that occurred recently and all the woes, blood, sweat and tears that I battled through to emerge safely and sainly out the other end? Sorry to disappoint!
Ok so the credit crunch has had its effects on the Martin household, but how is it that I can 'hand on my heart' say that I feel even happier and more content than ever? My coach recently said (yes I know, I'm a coach why should I need a coach ...answer, don't we all if we want to continually be moving in the right direction ?) that real 'learning' comes through listening, I mean really listening, to something in your head or your body that's trying to get some attention and finding out what the heck's going on. And that includes when you're feeling really great as well as when you're having a freeky moment.
And the BIG shifts come from when you commit to getting a 'learning' from every good or bad situation.
So there's a credit crunch and for some it could mean them losing everything they have. For others it could mean having to cut back. How timely it was that Lesley Brown sent something to me recently that just puts everything into perspective. Let me know and I'll glady pass it on.
Until later

The Power Of Attraction
Hi everyone
Last year I kept hearing about a documentary called 'The Secret'. You've probably seen it? I didn't do anything about it at the time, however, it was at the back of my mind for ages. Perhaps I should go on line and order it. Just as I had remembered , my broadband went down! Typical I thought. Then that night, someone, out of the blue, handed it to me telling me that someone else had recommended it to him. He had started to watch it but couldn't make head nor tail of what the heck it was talking about.
"It's The Secret", I said. I've been looking for that. Amazing, talk about the law of attraction!
So, I have to say, as soon as I started to watch it I was hooked. I kept playing it again and again, hey and guess what! It works. I cannot believe how many people keep cropping up in my life that I haven't seen for years! It happened 4 times yesterday with 4 different people. Though, they apparently came to see me because they had seen my photo and a promotion of an event I was speaking at.
I just hate it when I watch a film or something that someone at the side of me has watched already and insists in giving me a running commentary about it. So I won't spoil it for you. Just get it and enjoy it. Then try it!
I'd love to hear your comments, views, experiences. Let me know.

Has Spring sprung?
I think I'm in heaven! At last, the sun is shining and the birds are singing and I think I've just been born again! I'm not complaining about the winter we're just emerging from, but you've got to admit, sunshine and the birds chorus makes life seem very different. Where did all that energy come from - I feel 10 years younger!
I've been up for several hours already, probably like you, coffee in hand, computer on my lap and already have added a dozen or so things to my 'to do list' this morning. Today is the day when I get everything 'scratched off' and then I reap myself a reward (tip from my Business Coach) this afternoon for all my efforts. Don't you just love storming through all those tasks and feeling that wonderful sence of achievement and pride!
I've already booked myself on 3 Business Networking events and arranged 2 Life and business Coaching Sessions with my coach over the next month. It can be pretty lonely working for yourself, even if you have lots of staff. I'm at my best when I'm meeting up with my business buddy, networking or speaking with my IT guru Kirsty.
Associating with like minded people is a must for me. There's so much negative stuff around us all of the time - you just switch on the news and here it comes - murders, rapes, war, the state of the economy. Why do they give us so little good news?
Well, perhaps it's down to us to create it. And create it we do. I get so excited when I receive emails from members of this network that tell me about something you've just achieved - it could be a small task that you've been putting off for ages or a conversation you've been avoiding. And the impetus it gives us all to then go on and get something else done is worth doing that little thing in the first place.
Well, time to get back to the list. And now I can scratch this little job out!
Bye for now.

Time To Reflect
So this is what normal life is like is it? I say normal, because this is the first time in months that I've cleared my diary, got through piles of paperwork and given myself some time to just sit back and reflect.
The problem is that I seem to do it over endless cappucinos and cake - it's just got to be done sometimes!
It has been such an eventful time setting up the network and finishing off many projects that I've been working on. But I have to say, the last few months have been tremendous and talk about personal growth .... I wonder where all the information goes... I mean how much can the mind cram in!
I've embarked on lots of networking myself in the last few weeks and I'm absolutely loving it (hence all the coffees and cakes!). It's such a good thing to catch up with old friends and associates and see who's doing what and who can help who.
It makes me realise how much networking I did when I set my first business up in 1984 - because many of my contacts were doing just the same thing and I keep bumping into people that I've know for 20+ years. Scarey isn't it! And it's just so amazing that we don't look a bit different!
So, I'm about to start planning the next Women's Alternative Business Network Meeting on 13 May. It's going to be a really full day with lots and lots to learn and apply. I'd really recommend you attend the morning session as well as the afternoon session. You will get so much out of it - we are going to cover alot of ground and you will want to go away and reflect just the same as I am doing, on what's really important to you, where you are going and what you are going to be putting in place to get there.
The day will explain who and what has been influencing where you are today and how you can change many of the values and beliefs that are no longer serving you.
There will be areas covered on business values, leadership and communication too.
So, have a great weekend. Live and enjoy life and I'll buy you a cappucino if we bump into each other, like the other 10 or so members that I've seen already this week!
Best wishes
Ann

Carpe Diem - Seize The Day
I’ve just spent the most fascinating week in Switzerland at St Gallen University studying entrepreneurship and it was a trip that will most definitely never be forgotten. The Swiss chocolate had a lot to do with it of course and I’m still shedding the pounds! The words ‘inspirational’, ‘educational’, ‘motivational’ and ‘creative’ spring to mind. Huge thanks to Richard Dearden and Nottingham Business Venture for the opportunity.
For any Women’s Alternative Network Members that are attending the Barclays/NBV sponsored ‘Women’s High Achievers’ workshop at Aura, Newark on 5 March, I shall be demonstrating some of the entrepreneurial teaching methods that came out of the course. We shall be kicking off with a video of ‘October Sky’ and discussing what makes an entrepreneur, what leadership skills really count and what strategy needs to be in place to grow a successful business. If you fancy joining us please email Sparr@nbv.co.uk for further details.
For those of you who love to be inspired by ‘dreamers’ and ‘doers’ then check out the film – it’s wonderful and enough to move anyone to action. But be careful not to blow yourself up … you’ll have to watch the film to understand that last remark.
As a result of the Switzerland course I’m also adding another dimension to the complimentary ‘Stepping Stones To Leadership’ workshop on 11 March, 0845 – 1200. If you enjoyed watching ‘Dead Poet’s Society’ you will remember when Robin Williams asked the boys to ‘tear out’ a page of their poetry book and to replace it with their own verse.
My invitation to you on the 11th (or before) is to start writing your own verse of life.
See you on the 11th.
Carpe Diem, Seize The Day.
Warmest wishes

The other day someone asked me how I managed to always keep so positive and full of energy
The other day someone asked me how I managed to always keep so positive."You always seem so happy and full of energy", she said.
A million thoughts flew through my mind like a turbo train racing through a tunnel. And if only she had seen me 30 minutes earlier! My BT land line had gone down, so too my broadband, my computer took a dislike to me and my mobile died - all within 24 hours! She happened to bump into me on the way to library, resigned to the fact that we all at the mercifull hands of technology and how vunerable it leaves us feeling when we rely on it for our income!.
The 'always keeping positive bit', well that's not always true. I have my moments like all of us, but I guess I've learned to get out of it quicker and not get stuck for hours in negative stuff that takes me nowhere.
The IT problem is no different from others really. I've learned to step back and look at the 'grander purpose' - a phrase that years ago would have left me feeling rather synical. But today I find it gets me out of the problem and into 'what I can learn' from it. Then within a few minutes, I've got wisdom, solutions and I'm on my way again.
I'm really looking forward to the next Stepping Stones To Leadership and Business Networking event on 11 March (check http://www.womensalternativenetwork.co.uk/). The morning is going to be spent looking at why so many women hold themselves back from stepping up and becoming all that they secretly know deep inside they can become.
Your comments, feelings, experience and anything else you would like to add would be most valued and appreciated so why not post something on the forum.
Since my last blog I have had some incredible and insightful meetings with members of the network. Lesley Brown is going to take a few moments to talk about her wonderful women's cause, for women who have been abused at some point in their life www.sheuk.org but we have a terrific success story to tell as a result of the work that has gone into this group.
Kay Wilson from support4mothers is going to tell us a little about her business idea of supporting mothers of new bornes - a well needed service.
So, until the next blog, keep positive, keep happy and I hope to hear from you soon.
Warmest wishes
Ann

I was wondering this morning what I would write for the very first blog .....
I was wondering this morning what I would write for the very first blog of the Women’s Alternative Network. I was thinking should I just see what happens today, give a few details of any last minute hitches and then give an honest account of how I’m feeling about the content and what I am going to deliver tomorrow?
As the day proceeded it became obvious that the time was just going to fly on by and before too long I received several last minute bookings and attempted, again, to update the delegate list. I realised that no matter how hard you try, things sometimes don’t always go according to plan. For me, that’s a tall order, because I like things to run perfectly.
Only a few minutes later, a jet plane flew right over and very close to my house. My new puppy, an adorable white and champagne fluffy ball, suddenly disappeared. I didn’t see her go, but the door was open and I assumed she’d made a run for it.
So now I’m running through fields, down lanes and into farmer’s yards calling for the pup to come home. This wasn’t what I had in mind. I’d still got to print off handouts and evaluation forms. Where was the day disappearing.
Tired, wet from the rain and feeling helpless I wondered how well I could rise to the challenge of delivering two upbeat presentations and keep everyone else uplifted – because after all, I’d already received many calls of expectations.
A while later, two grubby ears appeared from underneath my kitchen units – the pup was wedged. But at least she was safe and I was looking forward to a great day on Thursday and to meeting lots of new and interesting people.
It’s fantastic being able to meet and chat with likeminded women who are looking to improve their work, income, health, relationship or some aspect of their life in one way or another. And what has delighted and amazed me is that this started with just a few emails to the people I had met over the years. Suddenly the network is growing at a pace and we haven’t even had the second meeting yet.
I’m so thrilled and grateful for those spreading the word.
So back to my notes – a few last minutes changes, a bath, a glass of wine and an early night.
Hope we get chance to speak tomorrow.
Warmest wishes
Ann
