Dress to Drill – Workout Style Tips

Sportswear from NEXT Spring 2011

After the excess of the holidays, January often finds us feeling sluggish and in need of redressing our overindulgences.The best way to approach getting back on form is to set yourself realistic goals and ease into…

Well, as predicted in last week's NiS News, it's all kicking off big-time on the networking scene now 2011 has arrived and the century goes all 'teenage' on us :0)

We're looking forward to more free expos, with those shameless 'exhibitionists' Paul and James Webster already enthusiastically promoting this year's programme, and I've listed the…

Dear fellow NiS members,

I am currently researching for my next business book aimed at Start-Ups.



I am looking for 2 things - one is a clear simple MLM network diagram showing the upline and downline multiplier effect of multi-level-marketing/network marketing/affiliate marketing.  Credit and contacts will be given in the book



The second is I…

I'm looking to do that for the first time and would be both interested and grateful to hear of others' experiences, together with any recommendations or warnings.

Now let's see if anyone ever reads the blog postings.  :-)

A very Happy (and prosperous) New Year to all our NiS Members...

So then, after an outrageously long break, here we go again with a fresh new year and a whole raft of new challenges ahead - what an exciting prospect! Heartfelt thanks to everybody who sent us seasons greetings, and lots and lots of lovely positive feedback about the sites - we're blushing…

January often marks the time for new job searches and this is probably more true this year than ever before.…

This is the time of year when many of us will set ourselves objectives for the New Year. But how many of us actually achieve them and what gets in our way?

For 2011, if you are serious about getting things done then invest in a Timer, or learn how to use the one on your phone!…

Brrr! With conditions making you think twice about venturing out at all, the feeback is that networking events in general are unsurprisingly less well attended than they should be at this sociable time of year. It comes to something when the weather forecast becomes essential viewing across the nation - X-Factor, eat your heart out...our Christmas number one is Peter Cockroft at the London Weather Centre!

Still, if you're feeling brave, there are…

OK - we're onto the last lap before the Christmas break - and if you're anything like me, it's one of the busiest (and probably least commercially productive) periods of the year! Organising cards (personal and business), and presents (ditto), planning visits and social occasions with family and friends, and trying to keep all the plates spinning on the business front can be exhausting! Add in the traffic (and the snow -…

In politics and media are leaks ever 'accidental?'

It’s 125ft long & 15ft high and will be viewed by 30,000 vehicles every day. What is it? John's Big Billboard, of course!

NiS Member and site Sponsor John D Udal is really going for it in his latest project to promote the member…

Hi, my name is Jon Jackson of Infocus Security 0800 074 5854

It always amazes me how people always say to me "why was I burgled - Ive lived here for xx years??" Well the answer to that question is - You always think being Burgled only happens to OTHER PEOPLE!!

Well it doesn't - It can happen to all of us at some time or another

IF YOU…

Managing the business itself takes time, but a little forethought and planning

will make a big…

Are you dreading the thought of having to write all those Christmas cards? Each year it seems to be more of a chore unless I take control of it. The trick is not to do it all at once but to schedule 15 minutes at a time. Then it is not overwhelming and you will have a better chance of getting it done

without too much stress.

Here are my 12 steps to Heaven.…

Whaddya mean, snow?? Remember the paralysing effect of six inches of the white stuff last Winter? Let's hope it holds off for the festive season, so we can make it to all the parties and networking events coming up soon...

Next week sees the Business Startup Exhibition at Earl's Court. I love expos - I always come away with plenty of useful leads, and I try to get to a couple of free seminars from…

We might be great at our own skill but when we set up in business for the first time we need to be conscious that now we are a business owner as well as a Photographer, Jeweller or Life Coach.…
