One of the questions I’m often asked is: How often should I update my blog? And my answer is normally “once a week” – which is often enough to capture all the benefits of blogging yet still manageable within anyone’s busy working week. Other bloggers will have different opinions – some think once a month is …
Happy New Year! I trust you had a wonderful Christmas and saw 2013 in with style – we certainly did. New Year is of course known as a time for reflection and forward planning and in a recent newsletter I mentioned the three goals I have set myself in business this year, and I asked if anyone …
For a long time now I’ve wanted to write a book about Christmas. As a child I thought everyone “did” Christmas the same way my family did, but as I got older and spent Christmas in different places and with different people I discovered that actually everyone has their own unique way of celebrating Christmas …
Later today I will be packing away the red pen, the printer and the eraser, strapping on my fairy wings and flying away for a well earned break over the Christmas and New Year period. I’ll be back in the office on Wednesday 2nd January 2013, ready and waiting for all your New Year proofreading …

Consultancy work is not something I’ve …
This week’s guest blogger is Carrie Rose, a client of mine who inspired me to start offering online marketing training! She runs a fantastic group that aims to help women achieve more from life. In this post Carrie explains more about the BBB Club and invites you to join. So what do you really want? …
I don’t often blatantly advertise my services on my blog so I hope you will let me off just this one time! I was lying in bed the other day wondering what I could do with myself that morning and I had a genius idea – at least it seemed like a genius idea at …
Time for a guest blog post, this time from Tim Lyon. Tim has an interesting story on how a high street store lost his custom because of their lack of negotiation skills – and gives some advice on how to negotiate a sale. At a recent Negotiation Skills Workshop I was asked whether an attempted …
Over the last few months I’ve offered some guest blogging opportunities and that has resulted in some really interesting and varied posts appearing on this site.
