Business Live Conference

Hi everyone

I had a really interesting morning attending the Business Live Conference at the Ice Stadium in Nottingham today. Saw some familiar faces and met some very interesting people.

One lady in particular stood out to me. She was very well dressed, had a wonderfully warm look and feel about her, huge smile and very professional approach. We got chatting over coffee and you know when you've met someone and felt like you've known them for years .... this was one of those occasions.

Turns out she was the speaker for the afternoon's session on 'Networking' from the Kintish organisation. What a great advertisement! We were talking about the fact that so many people go to networking events to network, but often don't feel comfortable actually speaking to people. There are some people that make it easy to network with. Here was one of them.

Question is .... how easy are you making it for people to network with you?

Regards
Ann

Networking Going Well

Bookings for the next The-Alternative-Network meeting on 24 June going really well. You'd expect it with a topic like 'Getting More Customers' I guess wouldn't you?

I think the two things that separate companies that are doing really well and those that aren't is a) attitude b) marketing. Some are being left behind whilst others are really grasping the nettle and making great moves - there are some incredible opportunities out there and with the right approach and great marketing anyone can succeed.

Hope to see you at 9am, 24 June at the Waltons. Check out the website for details www.the-alternative-network.com

My Social Networking

I never thought I would hear myself actually saying this but I'm on a real journey with Social Media Networking and I'm loving it.

I've never really enjoyed much to do with IT and all this web stuff but I know it is helping me to achieve the great things in life that are currently displayed nealty on my 'vision boards'. One of my dreams is to help a minimum of 10,000 people to achieve all the great things they want in their lives and of course as most of my clients are ambitious entrepreneurs and corporate executives Social Media and the Internet plays a huge part in attracting new customers.

Much of my time in coaching clients that also weren't 'grabbed' by emarketing and technology has been on changing their attitudes and approach and it's working brilliantly. That's why I choose to coach ambitious and eager people because they are so committed to doing whatever needs to be done to stretch and expand their thinking and thereby their results. For some it's a bigger change than others.

For me it has been a huge shift, but as I sit here with my french windows open, the sun streaming in and the breeze gently swaying the trees in the fields around me I can hardly complain can I? It beats getting stuck on a busy motorway anytime!

I'll be letting you know who is helping me, what resources I am using and what progress I'm making. I already have 70 followers on face book and almost 1000 Twitter followers and I've only just begun this thing. Exciting or what!
