Have you ever had an idea for a GREAT product or service, but wondered if there was a market for it online? Well, if so, you might be interested in the following case study…. I had this idea that it might make a viable little product to teach people the simple weekly method I use to manage my money that I was taught by a multi-millionaire mentor of mine, that I was currently teaching my 17 year old daughter. But I’m busy, it would have to be done in my precious spare time, I had no idea of the demand [...] Read More >>>
TBSF 022 | Out & About | Alex Jeffreys Event In London

TBSF 021 | No Time To Blog?
This week I’ve been trying to work out the most effective way to blog if you want to podcast too. Since Sarah has got my podcast going again, I’ve been trying to figure out what is the most efficient combo of tasks. The winner so far is….. Mindmap Content Idea > Record Audio > Transcribe > Blog > Podcast – this combo is coming out tops for ease of doing (important if I’m to blog / podcast easily and regularly) and sounding best in terms of my sounding conversational rather than rather than wooden and a bit Radio 4! So [...] Read More >>>
TBSF 020 | Mastermind | Internet Marketing
I’m testing the concept of sitting in bed every morning and creating a blog post by audio. I’ve actually got a nice little app, called Voice Record Pro, which I’m using. But I wanted to tell you that the thing that’s prompted me to do this finally is that I went to a mastermind day yesterday organised by Martin Avis. He gathered together who he considered to be the most authentic and the best internet marketers in the UK, and I was honoured to be included in that room. It was quite astonishing, the quality of the information that was [...] Read More >>>

TBSF 018 | Procrastination & What To Do About It
This week I talk about procrastination, why you suffer from it, what to do about it and I’m delighted to say that, as a result of reading Rich’s report that I review in this podcast episode and thinking about the whole topic, I’ve stopped procrastinating about a couple of things and taken action to ….

TBSF 017 | New Business Book Reviews
I’m a voracious reader, business books, marketing books, psychology books, science fiction mainly. In this episode I share the books that are currently on my bedside table and why you should read / listen to them too. What’s on my bedside table to read? I have been ordering books like it’s going out of fashion. I absolutely love reading. I’m getting to the stage now where I am ordering books faster than I can read them, which is a little bit of a shame. But I thought I’d share with you some books that I’ve either read or about to [...] Read More >>>
TBSF 016 | Out & About | Manchester – Business Workshop For Dentists
Off to Manchester for a one-day workshop with client Chris Barrow, via a VERY expensive Virgin Trains journey and mysterious signage at Manchester Airport train station for the Hilton Hotel. I’m not a natural traveller as you’ll see. This last weekend, I went to Manchester. I was going for a Saturday workshop run by Chris Barrow who is one of my personal business partners. He was doing a workshop for dentists who had signed up to his Get Your Year In Gear programme. We launched that together over Christmas and New Year, and it did very well. We had well [...] Read More >>>
Business Diary | Out & About & Masterminding All Over
I’m back from three straight working weekends away and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed each of them in very different ways. Rather wonderfully, they were largely on the Fridays, which means it feels like the weekend, but you end up with part of your weekend left to relax. The first was a trip to Manchester Airport’s Hilton Hotel, to help client Chris Barrow with his first Coaching Tribe workshop, full of dentists; the second was a trip to the Holiday Inn Gatwick to have dinner and spend the day with a brand new Internet Marketing Mastermind group (which totally blew my mind!)
