Five Reasons I Love Kindle Publishing
Why I love Kindle I feel like a one track record at the moment. I went for coffee with a colleague and all I could talk about was what fun I was having price testing one of my kindle books. I’m not sure she was totally with me on that one! But I’m so excited [...]

Congratulations on your book! These are words that I’ve heard a lot over the past few months. Since my book came out. And I know that when you say that to me, there’s a small part of you that wants to how I did it. What it took. Because maybe you’ve thought about writing a [...]

“That’s the easiest question you’ve ever asked me…”
The easiest question… So I’m on the phone last week to a wonderful guy and fabulous business mentor. I’m talking over my plans for a new programme and want to pick his brains on two ways to deliver the training. Option A is easy and comfortable for me. What I’ve done before. Tried and tested. [...]

Is It Ever Right To Give Unsolicited Advice?
Is it ever right to tell someone something they don’t want to hear? I was in the supermarket on Friday with my youngest boy. It’s his treat day. He gets to choose a Lego mini-figure (and he’s more than a little obsessed with Lego). So there we are. He’s fingering all the packets to make [...]

iPhones and Perfect Paint Colours – Not Everyone is an Expert at What You Do
iPhones… I’ve been putting off buying a decent phone for about the last three years. I’m overwhelmed at the choice. I want an iPhone because it’s cool. But then will it be compatible with all my other gear? And then it’s more expensive…. And then people tell me Android is better… And then I go [...]

That embarrassing moment when the bill comes… Have you ever have that experience when you go for a meal with a group of friends. The bill comes. You thought you were splitting it between you. And then one guy (or gal) pulls the unexpected… “Oh but I didn’t have a starter, so I just want [...]

A Simple Shift In Your Story…
A typical non-profit tale – maybe? I was at a women’s networking meeting a couple weeks ago and I struck up a conversation with Julie (not her real name). She heads up a small non-profit and, in the way of the world right now, their grant funding was drying up. She’d tried networking… She’d been [...]

I’m Done With Resolutions!
New Year’s Resolution? I gave up making New Year’s Resolutions a few years ago. I have different ways of reaching out for what I want, and I know making a promise once a year just isn’t enough. I dream and I think big, and I break things down and make habits out of them. Ultimately [...]

Are You Claiming Your Expertise?
How bold are your claims? I spent some time with one of my groups reviewing web pages recently. And we were struck by how different the claims about their expertise were. One member is doing a joint venture with a partner who had given her some copy in which he claimed to be: “THE #1 [...]
