I love this word that business people talk so much about... 'NETWORKING'. Today I have been doing a lot of this, I looked up the definition of the word; Networking means the act of exchanging information with people who can help you professionally (Someone obviously had a meeting with their boss once and when the boss asked them what they had been doing all day they couldn't respond with 'talking to my friends' so decided to make it sound professional and say 'Networking'.) I have networked (talked) a lot of my day; it has generated me a lot of business. The Wine glasses went into another local hair salon in Humberstone ( Simply Claire’s, if you are local check them out) and by the end of the day I had seven new orders from that one salon, which is a great example of what 'NETWORKING' can achieve.
For all those new subscribers (Thank you, I have actually been blown away from the feedback) you can find the business links to what we are doing at the bottom of the blog for those that have asked. Just wanted to shout out for the group that is holiday reading this in Greece, Congrats Sean and Shell on your marriage!! hello all you others sunning it in Greece... hope you all burn and peel ;)
It is true, the more you get out talking to people and the more avenues you explore, the more business you generate. My mentor did say to me once if you grow a monster are you going to be able to control it; I thought it was a good metaphor... It can be as big or as little as you like it to be, however if you make it big do you have full control over what it does, the business can start telling you where to go, not you telling the business, and one day it may grow too big and stand on you. So implement systems to prevent that happing or do not feed the business to much. – DEEP ;)
On with my social activities then, Sam goes to his dads on a Wednesday night. I like to get out during this time, so I go to body pump, hosted by the lovely Jo Hubbard, who by the way is a great personal trainer (www.steamfitness.co.uk) her stories are hilarious. I had a real S.O.S moment though at tonight’s class, I was half way through my squats and pain hit me, My underwear decided to wedge themselves in places they don't belong, I wanted to relieve my pain but there was about 5 people behind me and lets face it there is no dignified way to unwedge yourself, so as a consequence I had to put up with the pain until after the session was finished... shame that squats are the first set of a hour routine! Came back from the session ...’unpicked’ and printed off more orders got ready and headed on out on a mate date to watch the film 'Friends with Benifits' with miss spencer. We were put in screen 11... wasn’t a fan of that screen, I’m on a running diet and cant have popcorn so Not only did I have to try and ignore the popcorn stand on the first floor (screen 1-6) I then get to the second floor and I am hit with another popcorn stand.. Its mental torture..., I avoided the purchase but I did feel like I was missing out on the full cinema experience! The film was absolutely hilarious it’s definitely worth the cinema trip, even without the popcorn! I came out of there with tears in my eyes and face ache from laughing so much. Who knows maybe I even lshabowco (if you don’t know what this abbreviates you will have to google it). I am stealing so much material from that film; I will then recycle it and claim it as my own!
So after the date came home, painted the glasses, wrote my blog , I could do more on the website and key words but seeing how me and my bed are going through what can only be described as a rough patch I’m going to make an effort and try and spend some time with it.
