NEWSLETTER - JANUARY 2010
Happy New Year everyone
Thank goodness 2009 it over. What a year. The ‘R’ (recession) almost became a ‘D’ (depression), but it seems quick action staved off a global economic collapse. I’m not naive enough to believe we’re totally out of the woods, but the worst does seem to be over. Hopefully it will remind us of some good business (and personal) principles, like, don’t go over your head in debt, and if it sounds too good to invest in, then it’s probably best to walk away!
The good news is that the business ‘buzz’ is incredibly positive about 2010 – the human spirit is truly amazing. 2010 for me also seems to be the year of the Joint Venture; I have been invited to be part of some amazing workshops and seminars this year, and so in the spirit of optimism and positivity, here are the offerings for this month – some are FREE, others are seriously worth the investment:
This Month:
1. The Quick Business Quiz
2. FREE webinar: What Everyone Needs to Know about Making Money Online
3. E.commerce workshop:1.7 billion customers are waiting for you! Can they find you?
4. One Day Authorship and Publishing Seminar
5. Performance Management Workshop
6. FREE article - 10 Crucial Consumer Trends for 2010, From Mass Mingling To Maturialism
So if you can’t find something here to whet your 2010 appetite, then I’ll eat my hat.
