Social Networking and business

One of my favourite twitter followers @crystal_jewels1 posted a blog article recently about social networking and business and as this is something i personally talk to a lot of my clients about I think its only right to point others in the same direction.

So visit the article on Crystal-Jewels.co.uk to learn move and let her know your thoughts on social networking also

Ups and downs in life and business

The past few weeks have given me many things to be grateful about and made me happier than I thought I could be and then in the same instance several problems and losses have caused me to come crashing back down to earth – most of these facts were to do with life and also intertwined with business.

These past couple of weeks I have taken time out of work and online life to reflect on life and business and soon I shall be posting more regularly and be more active again but in the mean time here are a couple of great videos I have watched lately that help boost me back up a bit and feel a little better.

Bristwestival this Thursday evening!

Thursday 25th March 2010 should be on your calendar marked brightly to not forget! Its the 2nd global twestival event being held to support a specific charity and

For those who do not know what Twestival is, its a festival held WORLDWIDE to support charity and do fundraising that is organised predominantly through the global network that is Twitter.com

Twestival events although global are completely organized and orchistrated by local volunteers who give their time and effort to organize events together with finding talented people to collaborate with to donate prizes, source great venues, music and entertainment. All the proceeds from the sales of tickets, auctions, raffles and general donations will go to a charity chosen by Twestival.

2009 saw the first Twestival and donations were given to Charity Water (http://twitter.com/charitywater) and was a huge success wordlwide gaining a lot of publicity around the events and cause. This year the charity is Concern Worldwide (http://twitter.com/concern) who have a vision for changing education programs for the poorest people in the poorest countries in the world particularlly those who suffer from HIV and AIDS, children with disabilities, orphans, street children and so much more.

This year one of my favourite local businesses Crystal Jewels (http://crystal-jewels.co.uk / http://twitter.com/crystal_jewels1) are taking part in the Twestival in Bristol (bristol.twestival.com) by donating two handmade jewellery designs to the auction.

Bristol Twestival is being held at The Tunnels, an incredible location underneath Bristol Temple Meads station and former England rugby union international Gareth Chilcott who owns the space has given this to Bristwestival for free and if that wasn’t enough, fantastic local band Phantom Limb shall be playing on the night.

This year Bristol Twestival has over £1,000 worth of prizes to win – buy your tickets now or on the door on the night.

Growing your business

Growing your business is a difficult task whether that is from working alone in your spare room, taking on a second set of hands, office space, tenth employee….hundredth employee there are many variables you could grow your business with.

Growth is most often a good thing but is often difficult and proves to bring around more problems in the short term than one would imagine from the start.

As I am personally in the process of growing my own business vertically AND horizontally as well as being in the process of investing in a new business to help it grow, I’d like to know how other people have dealt with growth?

What are your tips, experience and thoughts?

Just say thank you!

For the past few days I have been home sick with a cold or as many would say “man flu” which has gotten me down, little energy and voice like a frog. BUT I just watched a quick video clip over at Gary Vaynerchuk’s website for those who never heard of him he is a fantastic entrepreneur and social media biz dev kind of guy and his latest video states the importance of just saying thank you and your welcome to people.

So, at home, bit lifeless today I went ahead checked my emails as I do every day and as always delighted by the emails I get from clients every day and im very lucky to work with a great set of clients and I just want to say THANK YOU. Im lucky to be in a position where I can pick and choose who I want to work with and I am honoured to work with the people I do every day.
