No Oscars For Me Then (From A Devoted Yet Disappointed UK Movie Fan)

84aa-poster-iphone

Dear Hollywood, I am one of your biggest fans. I pay to go to the movies each and every week, sometimes more than once. I pay to stream movies at home and I buy DVDs. I am very diligent in the run up to the BAFTAs and the Oscars and I make sure I see everything by whatever means at my disposal, cinema, DVD purchase and streaming. This means that the first two months of each year are full on for me and my movie-going pal so that we see everything that’s nominated. That’s how much we care about you, [...]

Today Is A New Notebook Day. Callooh! Callay!

Judith Notebook

Is there anything more gorgeous than a new notebook? I have stashes of these about my person and my place. Little A6 ones for my handbag with glittery pink covers from the Fabulously British collection at TheArtFile.com. One of a pair of thin fine-lined moleskin ones, a bargain one I was unable to pass up – a post-Xmas reduction at M & S while grocery shopping and the last in a line of 3 personalised ones from GettingPersonal.co.uk, this one’s got love hearts on it with Judith on a pink heart. That’s the one I’m starting today for my worky-type notes throughout [...]

Blogging Update: Tales Of The Better Bloggers

Blog Button

Do you remember my post of 30th January about the creation of a Better Bloggers group? Here’s what happened. In a rush to start with a group of twelve or so, a Delicious Dozen, Marion and I accepted the first twelve applicants which meant we had to turn away about twenty equally fabulous people. We did say we would run this group again and we shall, albeit in a different format based on what we’ve learned in the pilot and both Marion and I will circulate that news when we are ready to go. For now, I thought I’d update you with stories [...]

Some Thoughts on Social Media Marketing

Twitter

Some interesting facts and figures and happenings have come my way in the last 24 hours which have underlined the importance of social media marketing, such as Twitter and Facebook and their relatives, in our lives and businesses today – if done well. Do you still know people who resist all of them? People who suggest we just use Twitter to talk about our lunch? Yes, so do I. But I ignore them largely, with a knowing shake of my head.   Get into it or wither on the vine, Dinosaur! Here’s what’s happened since this time yesterday, in only twenty-four hours. 1.   [...]

Authenticity: Do You Dare To Show Me The Real You?

Authenticity2

During the first few weeks of 2012, I’ve been doing a lot of phone calls with entrepreneurs and the same recurring themes come up over and over. These people are at the early stages of starting their own small business or self-employment. And they are fearful and uncertain.  That uncertainty is usually around what to offer the world and how best to do that.   “Will people want me and what I have to offer?” And so I ask them about themselves and discover what their life’s work has been about to date and attempt to excavate their natural gifts and talents which [...]

You And Your Money: The Thorny Topic of Tipping

Good Tippers

I am a generous tipper. I was even before I saw this photo! Here’s my thinking about tipping, then I’d dearly love you to share your thoughts and opinions. These are difficult times. The people who generally hope for a tip are usually in service jobs which are often quite badly paid. In the UK, where I live, service leaves a lot to be desired and I feel quite strongly that this is our fault. We do not create a climate where its OK to be in a service job for a while or for ever. We need people to provide these [...]
