I was reading a book the other day while at the same time listening to the news on the television and although Mark my husband can do both at once and still retain information from both I can't. Strange that because women are meant to be the multi-taskers of our society. When I put the book down which was a Bill Bryson book, I sat back and felt very low. This is not the way a Bill Bryson book usually leaves me, I am often heard laughing out loud. So although I was not really paying attention to either the feel I was left with was feeling dispirited.
I don't know whether you have noticed but there is rarely any good news these days and I have been taking it upon myself to monitor how I feel after each session of news watching and the results are not positive. Things are very hard I know but thinking in a negative frame of mind does not make issues any easier to cope with. some months ago the minister at our Church said that Mother Theresa would never got to a "Stop the War Rally" but if invited she would always try to accept the invitations to a "Peace March"
As a result of this a number of my friends and I have started limiting access to the news to just once a day, in the morning avoiding the late night fixes in the evening and reports so far show that sleep is more beneficial and when waking people are feeling more refreshed and ready to take on the challenges of the day.
Our state of mind is affected by all that surrounds us so make sure that it is the positive things that we take on board while shunning the negative and more destructive feelings.
Think and feel happier and that is what you will attract over the coming days.

An Up and Down Week
Hands up all those who enjoy rollercoaster rides because we have certainly been on one of those these last seven days and it is a worldwide thing. The media has such an effect on all of us and all the news is so immediate it can change ones moods at the drop of a hat.
With Mergers and Bankruptcy's so much in the news as well as falls and rises in currency, we all want to know if we are over the worst. Each day the advice varies, invest in hard assets, will that help the property market. Anything that will boost the property market will have a positive impact but borrowing the money is the huge challenge nowadays. I saw an article that said invest in gold, I think it is a bit late now with the price of gold so high, of course in challenging times the precious metals are always a good bet.
It is fascinating to speculate on next week, how much more is to come, one thing we know is that we don't know and that patience is the name of the game.

Today is the first day of the rest of my life.
I know, I know, I know, I have been very remiss with my blog posts and to be honest I really cannot tell you where the last month has gone. I am making a commitment here and now to do a blog article at least twice a week. I have scheduled it into my calendar and that way it will get the time it deserves.
We have been busy doing one on ones with many people who have expressed an interest in how we can increase their bottom line. My e-Consulting time is getting busier and busier which is great. There are so many people out there that are spending too much money and not spending it wisely to maximize their return on investment.
We have done a considerable amount of work on our website and the rewards from that are growing every day in the number of hits and resulting enquiries. In the coming week we will be launching the Small Business News page on the website which will have a number of the most relevant business.
We had over 200 people at our Webinar on September 10th on Building Better Business Relationships.
We are holding a Free Webinar on September 25th at 9.00pm EDT which will be recorded for those who cannot attend due to time differences or other commitments. It is called Top 21 Low and No Cost Ways to Market Your Business. We currently have over 160 registrants and it is building well so if you know anyone who would benefit from it please do not hesitate to forward them this link https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/226046454
