I have long since known that to communicate effectively you need to engage with people in a manner they understand.  It’s not what you say but rather what they hear that counts.

With traditional media on the decline I’m coming around to the concept of using Social Media as a tool to grow my business.  What’s kept you I hear some of you say. 

I’ve come to realise that’s it’s where people are meeting today and growing in popularity at an astonishing rate.

I don’t want to be left behind so I’m setting up my Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin and Youtube accounts and will begin putting myself out there over the coming days, weeks and months.  As a newbie I’m bound to make some mistakes but I’ll keep you informed as to how I’m doing and what results I’ve been able to achieve.

Now, how does this Smart phone work?

I’ve now received my information Pack for the Charity Trek I’m signed up to do in October this year.  Details are on the website along with a link to my “Just Donate” site which will allow people to quickly donate online.

Looks to be a very well organised trip with information on itinerary, fundraising tips, training schedule, what I will need to take with me and a whole lot more

I’ll be organising a number of fundraising events over the next few months, I’ll post details asap and if you fancy taking part just drop me an email

The charity I’m fundraising for is St Thomas’ Lupus Trust.  Perhaps not one many will have heard of but particularly important to me as my nephew suffers from this complex condition.  Anything I can do to help eradicate it or make treatments more effective in the future is fine with me.

Australian Floods

News Agency Bloomberg are reporting today that the projected rebuilding cost to put right the damage caused by the recent and ongoing floods could be as much as A$20 billion (roughly 1.5% of the countries GDP)

The Insurance Industry will be bearing a major share of the burden and given that UK Insurers operate on a global basis many will be affected.  Time will tell as to whether the impact manifests itself in higher premiums for all.

Looking Back

“It was 20 years ago today…”..actually, it was way back in 1967 (43 years ago) that the Beatles made these words immortal as part of the lyrics to the track St Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band on the album of the same name.

We’ve only been around for a mere 20 years so we’ll be looking back each month to 1991 and posting a list of World events that happened then.

How many will you remember?
