‘Reputation – years to build, seconds to lose (foxton vs the image group)’ is well worth a read. How true that your reputation can change so quickly on the internet.
‘Word of mouth is the best form of advertising’ is something that will always be true in business; on or off line. It is all a little bit scary really. Just by making one tiny mistake you can manage to really muck things up!
It is bad enough Read the rest of this entry »
Success starts with a great team. If you have a great team who are all working towards the same goals, then success should come much faster. However, ambition and motivation can begin to slow down after awhile. That is where a good team leader comes in.
A good team leader knows how to motivate their team. They offer incentives and rewards, recognition and guidance. They lead by example and take the time to coach and support their team. Without Read the rest of this entry »
Email Marketing has been an effective way to promote one’s business for many years in Internet marketing. However, it has to be done the right way. That way is by generating people’s names and email addresses through incentives and not spam. Spam would be considered going around the Internet (let’s take work at home directories, for example) and gathering people’s information through ads they place and then sending off emails to them in an attempt to promote your business.

It concerns me that scientists are so seriously considering the possibilities of ‘Geo-Engineering’ rather that concentrating on the here and now.
Surely it would be better to end the damage that is being done to our planet and to look at ways of changing how we all live. Geo-Engineering would be a lazy way to do things in a way. I am sure that if something was created and put into place that would clean our atmosphere, then people would Read the rest of this entry »
Many people seem to forget the importance of happiness. Life is filled with so much craziness that it can be hard to keep that smile on your face. Learning to quiet down what we are doing and take a moment to enjoy the pleasure of “now” will go a long way. People actually are so negative and stressed they make themselves ill. It then takes learning from illness to actually see what you have right in front of you and Read the rest of this entry »
When I was much younger than I am now my family would go on holiday to the seaside. We would pack up our car, fill it full of everything except the kitchen sink - literally - and set off as early as we could. It was going to be a long drive.
We had a caravan on a site about two miles from the beach. Personally I could not see the reason why we had to have the caravan on Read the rest of this entry »
I had to share this photo I found when looking for a leather jacket. After 5 minutes of rolling around on the floor in laughter, I just had to share it with you.
No matter how cool this jacket is a guy with this experssion is going to put me off. I get the impression that this guy is just about to top himself, not go out and score with the ladies.
It’s more of a straight jacket than a designer out fit! He kind of looks liek a hobbit trying to get into a hell angles group.
In other news i’ve just started a london acting course in improvistion with a group called the spondeity shop.
I’ve just read an old blog written by a friend called lat bit of the festival when he was in Edinburgh in 2005. It is wonderfully old in it’s style and format – blogging has moved on a long way since then and the way in which we write and communicate has changed in only a few short years; yet at the same time contextually things haven’t really changed at all. Some things are wonderfully old – I love the fact that he has entitled it “Lat bit of the festival…” instead of ‘LAST bit…” because back then spellcheckers were restricted to programs like word and it was unheard of to find one included in an online blog writing system. All test with no image – it Is so much easier to add a photo to your blog – yet back then most people would relied mostly on text only.
