Ok, so I’m finally up and running again after a brief sojourn in the Antipodes and another month setting up systems and procedures to manage the flood of work that is flowing in. Head and parapet spring to mind though as once again, I’m promising the earth (to myself) and hopefully this time (having far more checks and balances in place) I’ll actually be able to schedule in the time to do everything I want to do which when listed doesn’t seem like a lot.

Do YOU have business social intelligence?
31 MarThis was the question I was asking myself when I was preparing for a presentation to the Brilliant BusinessXchange a couple of weeks ago. In fact, how do you measure it and yes, I know that I’ve ‘stolen’ the concept of social intelligence from Daniel Goleman even though I use those theories but apply to online business instead, but anyway, back to the question in hand …… (more…)

14 OctI send out quite few email newsletters and pretty much most of them are automated by the Autoresponder systems I use. However, despite this I did think long and hard about the sort of information that should be contained within such emails before writing them (automated or not). As well as writing them I also, naturally, receive quite a few too and I notice that there is usually a big difference in the content and their ability to encourage me to do something active as a result of them.
