Social Media ‘Doing an Oliver Twist!’

Monday, June 29th, 2009
New times, New changes. New networking methods. Growth by sharing is a Social Medium to be understood and valued.

My message to any new or established member is ‘ Have no fear, just believe in who you are’ and share through any
medium available both Online and Offline. Learn new skills. Watch the masters and interact daily with those that wish to share their expertise in an open way. The internet gives you the ability to be Online or Ofline – use it!

William Buist concluded in his Blog An age when business was done organisationally, business to business, in a closed selective and controlling way is coming to an end. Networking, delivering business person to person, in an open, random, and supportive way is here and the early adopters of that thinking are winning out.

Last night after a most wonderful impromptu Sunday, I twittered to a smart lady who achieved over 3,000 contacts by…
merely ‘Doing an Oliver Twist!’ Using her Twitter 140 characters! and asking for …..More!!! Her twitter went like this…. 10,9,8,7 contacts are needed to reach my 3,000 target. Can you help? Help by social media.

I am getting much better traffic to my website through my weblog, thanks to the help given by Simon Jones Web Wizard currently but still need to turn these ‘hits’ into real customers. Last night with this in mind, I tasked myself, as I always do. I twittered easily to this American lady, as her manner was open and helpful. Her 140 characters said ‘If you need more traffic ….more customers I can help?’ Love it! Indeed with the grace and ease and colour of a Flamingo she looked at my website, weblog and articles and came back with a Starter Action Plan.

So go on Just Do it! Ask for help. Ask for More help! Get twittering, blogging, meet ‘face to face’ and Grow by sharing

Thanks, Enjoy Business : Spick and Sparkling for Monday morning? and it’s HERE!!

 #followfriday@ecademy [ Business : ]

 
Two Powers in one! Mark Sinclair said #followfriday @thomaspower
because he genuinely wants to help as many businesses as possible to do very well – and has the ability to do so!
I agree.

Next, Penny asked me this question first thing ‘How you are achieving things through Ecademy?’

Two Powers in one family!

And for me the answer was summed up on my Business : Amazing #Twunch
What an amazing impromptu #twunch date 23/06/09. Melting the walls down!


Venue Oriel Sloane Square

I make connections with committed people ‘who are in it for the long haul’. I have made genuine friends
through ecademy, some I skype with and share the stressful times …when my Boy ‘is away on tour’ serving his country in war zones.
Some I call and just laugh with, like Keith Whitney and Wayne Conyers. The lovely Sadie Murray will call and tease me about my  #tSparkle stuff!
Some that help me technically Web wise peeps like Irina Ponomareva – Website and Amanda Vlahakis…Logo Branding, and the wonderful Simon Jones WebWizard. He really is a quiet Wizz! Mark Shaw  ‘Twitter King’ and  Nikki Pilkington ‘Twitter Mentor’.

I have met so many wonderful people through ecademy. Being hugely dynamic in my quest, I started to organise ecademy networking events. These events were inspired by Jim ‘Da Man Zeigler and the fabulous Victor Marques. Then along comes someone called Thomas P smile and he nudges me towards Twitter and Friendfeed and FB user name!! Brill tools of the future!

This man TP inspires me to arrange #Twunch – A unique opportunity in getting to know ‘one on one’ over #twunch. 
 
Please join the #Twunch Club Look out for the next #twunch?

Thank you Penny and Thomas…watch this space….

#Twunch Club

#Twunch Wellbeing Club

The first of many #twunches hopefully, happened this Tuesday.
What an amazing impromptu #twunch date 23/06/09. Melting the walls down!


Venue Oriel Sloane Square

#Twunch – A unique opportunity in getting to know ‘one on one’ over #twunch.
A time for connecting to each other as people and collaborating on personal and professional growth together. Through getting to know one and another better, we understand the wider interests of each connection. Continuing from a dialogue from The Heart and The Head theme btw Penny Power and Andrew Ballenthin who wrote ‘By experimenting with smaller audiences and putting energy into creating dialogues with your audience you are less likely to waste time prospecting and more certain of generating opportunities because it’s no longer push communication, it’s about interaction which is the precursor to a transaction.

I have always loved the buzz of London for training energy but equally love Swansea for the sea buzz.
Being the change you want to see in the world

So I will start by reconstructing yesterday’s #twunch ‘twitter style’ brain storming scene…’getting to know ‘one on one’ over #twunch!’.

Here are the attendees …
Thomas Power
Mike Shraga
Fiona Shraga
Carolyn Williams
Mike ‘Magic’ Segall
John Cassidy
Dianna Bonner
Wayne Conyers gave his sincere apologies due to ‘last minute
work hiccups’ kept Wayne from meeting us. However Wayne kept us ‘ in the loop ‘ through his endless e-mails, text, calls from the workplace!

Thomas asked us to think of two power words that told everyone who we were. He then suggested we think about how joining ecademy had changed our lives. We continued like this…I started by adding my ‘two’ descriptive words for Thomas were

  • Tantalizing Power smile then
  • Generating Power
  • Igniting Power /Igniting People and this led to others joining in..
  • Transforming Lives
  • Power Source
  • Powering People
  • Generating Family
  • Generating Friendships
  • Dynamic Family – I love this one!
  • Evolving FamilyI would be more than happy to work with you on this. Maybe you can add some more power words?…..Carolyn bringing #ecad people together over #twunch! Please join this Club and keep an eye out for our next #twunch?Who made you smile today? Keeping you fighting fit for your business

    #Sparkle Zest Confidence for Business

    Wednesday, June 17th, 2009


    Do you have a Zest for life? Are you Adventurous and free spirited? Do you go with the flow?

    Helping you #TSparkle, with increased confidence, through improved wellbeing and energy for your Business?

    Va Va VOOM…
    One of the most ticked boxes from my fitness goal planner is ‘How can I have more energy?’
    Here are just a few pointers

    1. Wake up, sleepy head!
    Unsurprisingly, lack of sleep is the most common cause of low energy, so try and get between seven and eight hours sleep a night. You can help yourself get a good night’s sleep by keeping to a pattern of going to sleep and waking up at the same time, whether you’re tired or not and making sure your bedroom is the right temperature and not too noisy. A good sleep is should be like a good meal, leaving you satisfied and happy with just enough room for a little bit more.

    2. Don’t skip breakfast
    Breakfast recharges your batteries and kick-starts your body and mind for the day ahead, then people wonder why they feel so sluggish when they miss it. If you don’t feel like eating first thing in the morning, have a glass of energy-boosting fresh fruit juice. Too rushed to eat? Try munching on fruit, oatcakes or cereal bars – anything you can eat on the go.

    3. Move it!
    Put a spring in your step. Just 15 minutes of exercise can make a huge difference to your energy levels. Too busy to exercise? Try walking that extra stop to the bus, taking the stairs instead of the lift or going for a brisk walk during your lunch break.

    4. Breathe easy?
    Feel like you are rushing around with no time to breathe? Stop panting and take a deep breath of fresh air. By not taking in enough oxygen, energy levels drop dramatically and this can even cause slight dizziness. Stop what you are doing and take five deep breaths. Breathe in through the nose for the count of three and then exhale for six. Do this daily for an energy lift.

    5. Make like a cat and stretch
    Feeling creaky? Stretching is one of the easiest ways to release tension and boost energy. Stretching for two to three minutes will loosen your muscles, ease joints and allow blood to flow more easily around your body. Whether you’re at your desk, at home or stuck in traffic, stretching as many parts of your body as possible will give you more energy and help relax you at the same time.

    6. Remember to have lot’s of fun!

    Business – Where are you all hiding?

    Saturday, June 6th, 2009

    Where are you all hiding? [ Business : ]

    Wizards of the World Unite!!

    Reading regular Posts on the FP and then the BBC News makes me wonder who is corrupt and who is genuinely
    prepared to ‘go public’ and stand up for what is right both in Business and Society.

    Come on folks ‘the Cake is only so big’! We can all contribute to inproving ‘our lot’ and help our neighbours and therefore our
    communities and future entrepreneurs.

    So who is ‘out there’ doing this already? Let’s Unite? Speak up?
