Time Management – Is It All In The Mind?
If you’re juggling your business, family, time for yourself, or just plain old getting things done, then you may be feeling as though you just don’t have enough hours in the day; you’re never going to catch up; create some space for yourself or make a success of it. You may even be wondering if it’s worthwhile being in business if you never seem to have enough hours in the day. When did you last smell the roses? I loved this video because it started from a different angle to usual and challenged the perception of how much time we have. So it’s not so much about time management, as time perception. Plus, there is also a little bit in there about how we are prioritising what we do when which can sometimes give you the heads up about what it is that you really want to achieve, and the life you want and which is sometimes a whole heap different to what you think you should be achieving.

Are you excited? Most people aren’t, but if you are in business you should stay. This time of year you are either laser-focused on implementing new strategy to propel you into 2017. I hope you haven’t decided to take a break or consider yourself burnt out. This is the perfect time to get ready for 2017. Let me tell you why you should be working diligently on and in your business – there is so much to do, so much to be thankful for and your future is bright! Don’t worry if business is slow, this is the perfect time to get your creative branding and marketing ideas/strategy on paper to attract more clients. Yes, I said it, wouldn’t it be awesome to double the amount of clients you serve in 2017? I know I’m not the only business owner who has said or thought I want to serve more clients – I want to make a huge impact on how I do business, how I’m serving my clients, how they do and view business as well – especially in their branding and marketing. And if you’re in business this is exactly how YOU should be thinking. The next thought is what do you need to do in order to get more clients? Let’s talk about it! Looking for recurring business and new loyal fans, followers, and clients should definitely be the goal. Your main goal should be on fostering and building lasting relationships with those who interact with your brand. Let me give you a few ideas and pointers you can work on before the month is over month to gear up for success in 2017. 1.Create a compelling message. A compelling message is critical. Make sure you’re offering a product or service that separates you from your competition. If you already have one sit with it and see if it has been resonating with your niche – has it brought you more clients? Do you need to tweak it? Do you need to change it altogether? Make sure your service or product delivers value. Make sure you are using market research, polling your customers or potential customers asking great questions to give you the information you need to revise, change or no longer offer a specific product. This is key, do you honestly know what your niche wants or desires? Is your current offerings meeting their needs? Always over deliver and under promise. Clients love this! Who doesn’t love unexpected surprises? How can you over deliver to your clients consistently to have them coming back for more and more? Understand who your ideal customer is – your target market. Know what they want, what they are looking for, why they need your product, how they buy, and where they look for suppliers of your product or service. THIS IS CRITICAL… so many business owners are marketing to everyone and you cannot be all things to everyone. Industries evolve, clients expect more, are you delivering? Do you know what to deliver and do your audience know where to find you? Promote, promote, promote! Make sure you are sharing your services/products via your compelling message. Meet your prospects where they are. If you’re not on social media where have you been? I meet so many businesses who don’t see the value in having an online presence but it’s not just about having a profile somewhere… are you consistently present? Are you building relationships? Are you providing value? If not you are doing a great disservice to your brand, products, services and your audience. Use social media to reach your target market, together with other free promotional tools on the web. Get online and use these tools to your advantage. It doesn’t have to cost money but you will need to invest time Monitor the effectiveness of your promotion– whether the activities are generating leads and sales. Take note of this! How effective are your current promotions? Are they working? If not, you need to implement new offerings or strategy. Offer excellent customer service to maintain customers and generate word of mouth referrals – always the best! It goes a long way, you’ll be surprised how far excellent customer service can take you. Time is of the essence. Don’t let this month pass you by get busy! Take stock of where you are and where you’d like to be in 2017. Take action, there is no time like the present!

Subsequently she is delighted to have been re-elected in 2015 with an increased majority of 11,445 with over 50% of the vote this was the third biggest Labour to Conservative swing in the UK. Tracey has been working hard for everyone in Chatham and Aylesford, regardless of how they voted. In 2012 Tracey was elected as a committee member of the Culture, Media & Sport Select Committee and in 2013 she was elected as a member of the Political & Constitutional Reform Select Committee.

Chris Hill – Addiction Expert and Author
Chris Hill My name is Chris Hill. I recently lost my twin brother to alcohol and drugs. It has been the most horrendous, painful experience and I hate the thought of other people suffering in this way. My own life has been a journey through all kinds of addictions, starting with smoking my first cigarette at the age of 7 through to taking crack cocaine and heroin some 20 years later. I always knew there was something fundamentally wrong with what I was doing but I had no way out, or so I thought! By nature, I am a very determined person and I went in search of the answers to solve my problems. I began reading books based on addiction, I tried various pills and poisons issued by my doctor and I attended addiction clinics to try to end my cravings for the drugs I was taking. Through trial and error and after at least 100 attempts to stop, I finally found my freedom. That was over 10 years ago and since finding my freedom I have continued to study subjects surrounding addiction and have discovered that we have a “subconscious mind” and that it is actually this that controls our lives. I am now “passing on” all of the information that I have learnt so that others can fully understand what addiction actually is and how it controls your life. Unless you understand addiction, how can you possibly make a change to your life? The answer is, you can’t. What I am giving you through this website, tutorials, videos, blogs, training etc. is the understanding of what is really going on. There is a big secret that is not being told and you are about to be given that secret. In truth, we are always being controlled, not only by other people and by our own Government but also by our own mind! Yes, I know, hard to believe but it is true. Our own mind and body have been controlling what we are doing our whole lives and we never knew about it and, when it comes to something addictive, the mind and body are in full control. This is how someone like me succumbed to a life of addiction just because I didn’t understand it. It took me over 20 years to escape but now I have my freedom, I want to share it with all of you. I want you to experience what life should really be like. I want you to experience what our maker wanted us to feel and of course that is happiness. This is our number one goal in life and that is to be happy. It does not matter what addictions you might have, whether they are mental or physical, the route to freedom is still the same. You may only want to change one or you might want to be free of several addictions, it makes not difference, you are in the right place. No matter what change you want to make in your life, all you need to do is to ask your subconscious mind. You have been doing this your whole life, you just didn’t know you were doing it. I am going to help you discover this secret and give you the life you deserve. No-one should be made to suffer this way. Society has given us all these addictions and it is now time to take back our lives and get back the life we were supposed to have. Freedom from anxiety, freedom from the pain of addiction, freedom of choice, freedom from those constant wants and needs for something we don’t actually want to do… I have been through so much pain and suffering and I know millions of people out there have too. Its time to make a change! It’s time to get out! Enjoy the content! Be happy! Be free! Pass it on! Chris on Facebook on Twitter Listen To Chris’s Show Website

Social Selling With Tim Hughes
It’s tricky deciding how to describe this show because there is so much information shared by Tim. Highlights include a great example of how to use Snapchat for business; LinkedIn tips for personal branding; and, how influencers can help you to sell your products and services. This show is definitely for you if the thought of cold calling makes you feel sick, and you’re wondering how on earth to market yourself and your business out there in the vast, sprawling and seemingly unruly land of online and Social Media .
