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

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

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.…

I just had a contact email from an old chum, UK Internet 'guru'-type person and Networking in Berkshire Member, Graham Jones. As a result, I checked out Graham's blog - always worth a look - and found a helpful post about what you can blog about, and where to find inspiration. Check out Graham's Top 10 Blogging Ideas here - and then get…

‘Season of mist and mellow fruitfulness’ as Keats would have it (or fog and frost, if you prefer a more accurate picture today!) Either way, there’s plenty of festive networking in the pipeline to ‘warm the cockles’, where you can promote and grow your business by building your connections and getting your face out there.

Talking of faces, are you one of the 15% of NiS Members yet to post your photo to your My…

So, the gales are upon us, it gets dark at 4pm, and 'It's' back to haunt us - by which I mean the dreaded 'C' word - Xmas! Stopping some way short of 'bah, humbug!', I'd like to register a mild 'tut-tut' at being bombarded with tinsel and teddy bears 'from here to Nativity', on TV, in shops, in magazines and through the letter box.

Having said that, I'm more than happy to have lots of Christmas specials in our…

Thought I'd share this blog entry I wrote yesterday on…

As you reflect on 2010 and prepare to welcome 2011 - an hour of your time can transform a young life. Donate the last hour of your 2010 salary to Queen Elizabeth’s Foundation for Disabled People to make this happen.

QEF Neuro Rehabilitation Services in Banstead, Surrey, has an urgent need to equip more high dependency facilities to help young adults with acquired brain injuries, such as Emily:

Emily’s parents were told that she would always be trapped within her…

Dear all,

If you are passionate about helping disabled people achieve their life goals and you have an entrepreneurial spirit – the Corporate Challenge could be for you.…

I had an exciting time over in Weybridge at Brooklands radio this afternoon. I had been invited by Samantha New-Fielding, who has a weekly slot on the afternoon programme. She asked me to speak about using astrology in business, Graham Laycock, the presenter, started by asking - HOW?

Well, it depends on how successful you want to be said I. Many prominent people have used astrology in business, early in the twentieth century the famous American magnate J.P. Morgan bluntly proclaimed…

Bonfire night again - don’tcha just love fireworks? Now call me old-fashioned, but I miss the old 'Penny for the Guy' routine in the run-up to 5 November. Trick or treat just doesn't do it for me, I'm afraid... But enough of the nostalgia, already - let's look forward to a bright future out there in Networkland :-)

We've had lots of new sign-ups to NiS again this week. A very warm NiS welcome on behalf of all our…
