Inspiration and entrepreneurs
Mar 1st
I’m always going on about the necessity of getting out frequently when you work from home and I’m really looking forward to Sunday, when I’ll be attending an Inspired Entrepreneur event in London with Nick Williams and Judy Piatkus.
Nick’s expertise is in helping people to overcome the conditioning many of us have received that work is something you have to do to pay the bills and fund the things you like doing in your time off. He helps people to identify their unique combination of skills and talents and find ways of earning money while using these and enjoying themselves. I have known Nick for 10 years, since I sold my cleaning business, and over the last couple of years he has helped me enormously in shaping the vague ideas I had about building a business related to home working.
I find I benefit from his events in several ways – because the quality of the information is topnotch, coming as it does from Nick’s own experience, because there are always interesting and supportive people there, and just because it’s so refreshing to get out of my normal environment and spend a day in the big city!
This time Nick is talking about making the often scary move from employee to Inspired Entrepreneur and in the ticket price you also get a workbook and 12 interviews on CD – and do you know, one of them is of me! Oops, just noticed there are only two places left, so if it sounds interesting, you’d better book quickly!
In the afternoon Judy Piatkus (who founded Piatkus Books from her back bedroom) will reveal the six biggest trends of the next two years, and how you and your business can take advantage of them. I am fascinated by trends and have been on the alert for them since years ago I read a book called The Popcorn Report, which predicted many trends that have since become commonplace – for example, the rise of ‘foodaceuticals’, where food such as butter spread contains ingredients with health benefits, the growing popularity of foreign foods, and the retreat to the home as a refuge from the scary things happening in the world. I can’t wait to hear Judy’s’ take on what’s happening now.
Hanging on the telephone
Jan 13th
The telephone seems to be the the theme of today. I was here at the keyboard this morning ready to tell you about the teleseminar I’m doing next week with Inspired Entrepreneur founder Nick Williams, when I received a tweet telling me Radio Bristol were doing a phone-in on working from home at that very moment.
So I googled their phone number and minutes later was chatting to radio show host Graham Torrington about how British businesses can be persuaded to let more staff work from home! Certainly gave me a buzz to start the day on! It’s about five minutes and you can listen again – start the recording at 40 minutes 20 seconds.
Anyway, back to the teleseminar. Nick Williams helps people sick of working just to pay the bills to find their real purpose in life and start making plans to earn a living from it. He runs courses and events and also calls on a range of experts well-respected in their fields. I’ve benefited enormously from their experience and will be recommending some of them in future pages.
So I’m very honoured that Nick has asked me to be part of his programme. The teleseminar is next Monday evening – not much notice, but the recording will be available afterwards – and we’ll be talking about how to get the very best from working from home. Which just happens to be one of my favourite activities, so I’m really looking forward to it!
