It has been a tough week – all my spare energy and time has been taken up with convincing PC World that they were in breach of contract and needed to do something about it. I’m really glad to say that I am writing this blog post on the new laptop… unfortunately it took all day in store to get the data transferred over. A special thank you must go out to all the peeps who gave me support & encouragement, @rapidbi, @neilryder, @breckland, @hlsbs, @markbnorwich, @pennyAW, @lindacheungUK, @lawyer_coach.
So, who am I going to recommend today? This week is themed around new start-up companies, getting on & doing their stuff – and doing it well. Recession, what recession?
So the first person to recommend is @giftwrappedandg. Gift Wrapped & Gorgeous promotes and markets creative designer makers based in the UK. The business is in the early days, and is having a lot of success signing up designers – if you want to sell your own designer goods and get them promoted in time for Christmas, via Mandy, Alison and the team, then get on the phone. Don’t hesitate time is of the essence!
I am proud to say that I have been asked to write for a new HR on-line magazine, called HR Weekly – which will go live in the next month. Yours truly will be writing on matters of HR Business efficiency. @M2rk, the owner, embodies the spirit of Dunkirk & has had some wonderful news this week, which will ensure that HR Weekly has a fast start & will become the ‘must-read’ publication of choice from senior HR decision-makers. Well done Mark!
Strictly speaking this isn’t a start-up, but it’s my blog and I can break my rules if I want to!, this peeps would be considered a direct competitor of mine. However, this is someone who walks the walk & talks the talk. @duncanbrodie kindly agreed to mentor a friend of mine who is just starting the transition from corporate life to business owner. At the moment, there is no promise of reward involved for Duncan. What a great peeps and someone that I am looking forward to working with in the future.
I interviewed @mikejulietbravo for my book research on entrepreneurs. Mike does qualify to be in this blog, without breaking any rules, as Mike is a firestarter. He helps entrepreneurs build up a idea to maturity. Some of you may know that @mikejulietbravo has been having a difficult last few months. I wish Mike well, as it would be difficult to meet a more genuine, giving and values-driven successful business person.
I’ve been starting to tweet with @hlsbs, who has just finished her old job, and next week will be fully employed as the owner of her virtual assistant and bookkeeping business. She is incredibly helpful, and I am sure she will make a success of her new venture.
And then finally, I couldn’t not thank a lovely peep – by day she saves her clients money as a friendly, personable BUT highly effective accountant. By night – well when not being an accountant, she helps to keep the nation healthy by selling the forever living beauty products. She is @tonihunter & is whizzing me bees pollen and Echinacea which will help my poor battered immune system recover.
Have a good weekend.
