November 23, 2009 by Amy Harrison 7 Comments

Happy National Freelancers Day! I have it on good authority that today is National Freelancers Day from The Professional Association Supporting Freelancers, Contractors and Consultants (PCG). I must confess I only stumbled upon this resource and in fact this special day at the tail end of last week, but it does sound interesting. The PCG […]

You’re launching a new business, service, or maybe you have a recent promotion and a first-rate offer that people offline just have to know about. A key piece of content marketing material is an eye-catching, service-selling leaflet or brochure. Don’t be fooled however, into thinking that because it’s only a small leaflet or 2 page […]

How your competitors boost business by turning customers away

October 30, 2009 by Amy Harrison 3 Comments

Turning customers away in a recession – insane no? Well, yes and no. Take two fictitious characters, Focused Fred and Pleasing Polly. They’ve both decided to start up their own businesses making tailored clothes. (I have no experience tailoring clothes so I may be rusty with some of the terminology – but should still work) […]

Celebrate BEFORE you get hit by a bus

October 17, 2009 by Amy Harrison Leave a Comment

Life is busy, particularly if you’re self employed or launching a new business. Down time can feel like wasted time and shutting off can seem impossible when there are proposals to prepare, research to do, statistics to analysis and numbers to crunch.

Why Copyblogger's marketing is like finding "Good Vibrations" on a compilation of jingles…

August 11, 2009 by Amy Harrison 6 Comments

My father is every pushy salesperson’s nightmare…I’ve experienced it firsthand, cringing from the next aisle as my dad verbally slays anyone trying to sell him something he doesn’t want. Growing up I learned to be suspicious of gimmicks, brightly coloured labels, and promises. As well as a love for George Jones, my father gave me […]

How To Break The Glass Ceiling? Build Your Own House

March 20, 2009 by Amy Harrison 4 Comments

Julie explained how she had never liked the term “breaking through the glass ceiling” as […]

"Don't Try, Can't Fail"…But Nor Will You Succeed

March 12, 2009 by Amy Harrison 2 Comments

I once knew someone whose motto was to never put himself forward for anything. He would half complete courses but never take the exam, his belief being that if they never took a test he could never “fail” at anything. He admitted his motto was “Don’t Try, Can’t Fail.” It’s an interesting philosophy and whilst […]
