The Thoughts And Ideas Of The Efficiency Coach

This week has been an excellent week for me. I have had long conversations with some of the people I twitter with and even met a valued contact on twitter. So, my follow Friday recommendations are all tailored around people who have been helping me with my book research and given me lots of ideas for additional revenues.

I started the week by talking with @judithmorgan. A serial entrepreneur, with clarity of thought, succinct and articulate. A role model for me – and ‘Lunch with The Efficiency Coach’ will become a reality in the new year. (Based on her concept of ‘Lunch with Judith’)

I spoke to @sharongaskin and we could have talked for hours. If you are new into the freelance training game, or are thinking about it. Stop, do not proceed any further without talking to this person or buying her book. I can promise you, you wouldn’t regret it. Also watch this space, as @sharongaskin and I will be running two teleseminars in the autumn. @sharongaskin inspired me to run a series of leadership workshops with @actualpeople (husband of @soullastylianou) targeted towards accountants and people within professional service firms. These will happen next year.

Yesterday I plucked up the courage to talk with @rapidbi. Over two hours later, I got off the phone – and I think we both will profit from an on-going relationship. I am very grateful for @rapidbi list of wordpress plugins. Some have worked for me, some haven’t – but next week, I will blog a list of wordpress plugins which are worth having on your wordpress blog. @rapidbi has also inspired me to set up telephone surgeries with The Efficiency Coach. These will come on-line in the autumn…

Now, there are two people who The Efficiency Coach could not manage without. They are a husband and wife team I work with. @actualpeople - He is my sounding board, complements my strengths and weaknesses and also will be heading up and project managing the series of open leadership programmes in the spring time with me. Without his faith in me (and the lovely @soullastylianou pushing him to make things happen) I wouldn’t have the freedom to be an entrepreneur. By the way, if you are interested in how Second Life can revolutionise your business then talk with @soullastylianou. That lady really knows her second life stuff.

If you feel you have an interesting angle on what makes entrepreneurs tick or successful, why not drop me a line (heather@theefficiencycoach.co.uk) and we can fix up a call.

And then, I cannot thank enough @mariamcook and the team at @everywoman who have given me the opportunity to write about my journey to authorship. My book will finally become a reality. If you are looking to become inspired or helped by other female entrepreneurs, then take a look at www.everywoman.com . I am looking forward to talking with @businessmum – the lovely Nadine Hill, writer of business best seller, the Virtual Assistant Handbook . Invaluable advice if you are thinking about becoming a virtual assistant.

On Monday I had a quiet day and @tonihunter came around and we had a lovely couple of hours chatting and @tonihunter gave me a wonderful facial, which was exactly what I needed to accelerate my recovery from a small bug over the weekend. If you are thinking of changing accountant – perhaps you have outgrown your current one, or not getting the service you require. I can’t recommend more highly the service and quality of advice you will receive from George Hays – the accountancy firm that @tonihunter is a partner in. Local personal service without the big firm fees!

Now there are a few people who have already dropped me a followfriday recommendation (or are very likely to), and it would be remiss of me not to mention them: @mumslikeyou, @ataccounting, @bingybongy, @raspberrydoodle, @chocolat_a_toi, @cheekychums
