The last few Thursdays I’ve been writing about the things I’m thankful for, and you’ve shared your own pleasures and achievements. I was wondering what the topic could be today and decided it was an ideal opportunity to mention two people who have been a huge help to me in the creation of Work from Home Wisdom, and to tell you how they could help you too.

They are Nick Williams of Inspired Entrepreneur and Mark Shaw, UK Twitter expert. Nick held a Twitter training day last summer, to which I went as a sceptic and returned home brimming with enthusiasm. With Mark’s help I had set up an account and understood many of the niceties of Twitter that I would otherwise have been oblivious of.

Just a few weeks later it was on Twitter that I came across an event called Jelly and an equally mysterious concept known as coworking. And if you’ve had a look at the rest of this site, you’ll know that was the start of a big adventure. I’ve also ‘met’ (twet?) many wonderful and generous people on Twitter, who have shared their knowledge and expertise and helped me in all sorts of ways.

It’s rather short notice, I’m afraid (I hadn’t quite twigged that October is just around the corner), but I think it’s still worth mentioning that Nick is organising a Twitter masterclass with Mark on Saturday morning. If you are already on Twitter, but are a bit puzzled about its possibilities, I highly recommend you go along.

In the afternoon Nick will be talking about how to become an authentic expert – how to establish a niche for your own personal expertise and develop a brand around it. I’ve heard Nick speak on these topics and it’s always informative and inspiring.

There are lots more events coming up in the next month and they’re listed on the Work from home events page. Do add a comment if you know Nick and Mark, or if you would like to tell us about authors or teachers who have helped or inspired you.
