More than half way through January already ~ I hope 2016 is off to a spectacular start for you!
I expect you have loads planned for the year to develop your business, your people and hopefully have some time for you too.
I’ll be running my first workshop of the year on January 28th and this is new for 2016 and something of a revolution!
So, if you want to spend a day developing your vision and getting some clearly planned action steps in place this could by just what you’ve been waiting for.
You can find all the details here and there’s a copy of the event flyer at the end of this post.
If you want to dive straight in and book right now this link will take you to Eventbrite where you can secure your place immediately.
At the end of the afternoon I’ll be hosting a networking drinks reception so you may want to ensure you don’t need to dash off and take advantage of this opportunity to make some new connections.
I’ve been asked several times of late if I plan to set up my own network and I don’t at the moment but I will be putting on a few events during the year.
Watch this space for a March date for the first of those and let me know if you want advance notice or a sneaky peak of what I have planned 🙂
If you want to work on your networking strategy for 2016 my training video is live on my website along with some tips.
Last year due to demand I started to do some one off networking strategy sessions on a 1:1 basis so get in touch if you think this would be helpful to you.
Sticking with networking for a moment I am a big supporter of Unique Connections.
These events are hosted by The Galleries of Justice and help raise funds for their fundraising campaign, ‘Help a Nottinghamshire Child’ (HNC), which aims to keep kids away from crime and out of prison. The next couple of events will be sociable affairs with the first of these being the always popular wine tasting evening on Thursday 4th February with the great father and son team from Hourlier Wines. Be sure to bring your taste buds with you and leave your car at home! You can book your place here
Following this is the annual fundraising dinner on March 10th and this year the theme is ‘When Bollywood meets Hollywood’. You can enjoy some live dancing and music from the Bollywood Belles and Campbell Bass and you’ll be in great company as you network with like-minded business people from across Nottinghamshire not to mention enjoying a delicious 4 course meal in the exquisite surroundings of award winning restaurant MemSaab.
You can book for both of these events here and there’s an invitation to the dinner at the end of this post.
Whilst you’re spending a few moments clicking through on the various links you might want to take a moment to vote and add your weight to the petition against the Government’s planned changes on dividends. If you currently pay yourself a dividend it’s worth reading more about this here You can also follow the Survive and Succeed campaign on Twitter and Facebook or go straight here to vote.
Tax changes are just one thing to keep on top of if you’re running your own business and you’ll be busy with so much more! All things finance, marketing, recruitment, managing your team, operational stuff, the list goes on. If there’s anything I can help you with remember I’m only on the end of a phone or email and if I can’t help you I’m sure I will know someone who can from my trusted network. I’ve spent years building this so you don’t have to. I know it can sometimes feel lonely at the top whether you’re the boss or the head of a department. Sometimes it’s good to talk!
I’ve taken a number of clients through my ‘be the Star you are’ signature programme since launching it almost a year ago and will be rolling this out further in the coming months. Meanwhile, I’m looking for just two more clients to take through this programme on the fast track basis so if you want to see how you can go further, faster in 2016 get in touch for a chat and we can decide if the programme is the right fit for you.
I’m offering this at a third off the usual fee until the end of February. More on the programme here
My mantra as you know is ‘helping people go further, faster … ‘ and I would be delighted to see how I can help you do just that (don’t be surprised though ~ sometimes this means slowing down first!)
Let’s make some time to talk ~ there’s no charge for an initial conversation and it could be just what you need!
Wishing you every success in 2016.
Best wishes
Deborah
