Hello

I'm sure you've heard the 'theory' that you shouldn't care what others think about you.

I say the theory, because I'm sure I'm not the only human being who's wondered what other people think of me at one point or another.

If you truly do feel that you are amazing, and always 100% right in every situation, then brilliant, but for everyone else, self doubt is usual and normal in my opinion.

One of the times when we absolutely do want to know how we are doing is in business.  

This week I wrote a piece about how to use customer feedback to drill down into the real sentiments people have for you and your business.  It also includes suggestions of how to elicit feedback, and also how to find out what the wider world are saying about your business.

As a side note, I read a post from someone this week where they obviously were having a real wobble & my recommendation, which was surprisingly alone in not being 'suck it up you lily- livered wimp' was go and read all of your positive reviews, sit with them, remind yourself of the people you helped, and just remember you are a human....

FREE 6 Day SEO Challenge Starts Monday

Some of you might remember that I was an affiliate for Maddy Shine the SEO specialist earlier this year.  Maddy is running her excellent course Blogging For Gold again imminently, but first she is starting with her 6 day free Facebook group challenge that begins next Monday. 

One challenge per day is set within a private Facebook group where Maddy goes live daily to give support and answer questions on all things SEO and Blogging.

If you'd like to understand how to make your website more visible to your ideal customer then this is a great free learning opportunity.  And there is no requirement to sign up to the paid course afterwards, although I know several people who have, and all have said they learned so much about their websites & organic SEO.

London Design Festival - Exhibition At Peckham Levels By Rye Here Rye Now

I am a member of creative networking group, Rye Here Rye Now, based in Peckham.

For the first time ever, Rye Here, Rye Now, are teaming up with Peckham Levels during London Design Festival.

One of the elements they have organised is a poster exhibition of members work.  As I am not a design creative, I was offered the chance to supply some text to have on a poster, so I gave a quote from my book, & Miho Aishima designed this poster.

If you'd like to come and have a look at the exhibition, or join in any of the events running then timings and address as follows: 11am to 11pm 25 Saturday, Sept and 11am – 6pm 26 Sunday, Sept. at Peckham Levels, level 5, SE15 4ST.

100 Marketing Tips for Small Business Owners

You can buy a copy of my book from either my website or Amazon

A recent review 

"I bought this book in the very early days of my business when I was feeling overwhelmed with marketing. I loved how the book is broken into manageable sections so that I could put each individual tip into practice. It’s a book that I regularly dip into for inspiration and it has joined the shelves of my essential business books.

This book is crucial reading for any business owner, especially if you keep trying the same marketing ideas and need some great new tips."
