ODDjob we have a passion for small business!

April 30, 2013 — ConnectCumbria

Hoping you can help…

At ODDjob we have a passion for small business! They’re the stuff of entrepreneurship, going it alone, beating your own track, making your mark on the world and there’s nothing more gratifying than success!

It’s also very hard work and the path is littered with traps for the unwary. So, I am writing a series of short articles to give food for thought as you start your own business.

There are loads of resources on the web that go into great detail about what you should and should not do in business which I am not looking to replicate. Instead the aim is to take a personal, inside approach by sharing experiences, mistakes and triumphs of people who are already in business.

Topics will stretch from the initial formulation of a business idea, through actually making it happen, dealing with bad debt & cash-flow to the family & lifestyle implications of being a business owner plus other key topics in-between.

So, where do you come in? If you run a small business (or, know someone who does) would you like to share your experiences, good and bad, in a way that will benefit new businesses by giving them the inside story? Alternatively, if you are thinking of starting your own business: What topics would be helpful to you?

This can be done anonymously if you so wish but it would be great if I could quote you in the article and give a link to your website, Facebook page or, twitter account so you benefit from the publicity.

The articles will be published on my site: http://www.oddjobcommercial.co.uk as well as being promoted widely on social media sites and in person. Viewers will be able to post comments there so the idea is to get people to interact and it would be great if you do the same.

‘Be Remarkable’ Love Your Figure Type

March 12, 2013 — ConnectCumbria

Book

Title: Be Remarkable – Love your Figure Type

Author: Maggi Toner-Edgar

Format: Kindle

Kindle Purchase Price: £2.58

Link: Amazon Kindle Purchase page

The ‘Be Remarkable’ series takes away the morning task of what to wear and instills the idea that what you wear to look your best can come naturally to you, if you base it on a simple code. You can take the first step on the route to being remarkable simply by being yourself, or the best version of yourself that you can possibly be.Maggi Toner-Edgar is a professional fashion designer/stylist, writer and director of Creative Style. Maggi worked for Vogue Magazine and ran a fashion design manufacturer company in the eighties and since then she has trained hundreds of textile and fashion design degree students.

This is a style book with as difference, it gives you well understood style tips to suit your figure type, like a recipe to follow and links to websites to offer ideas for the new you. It also makes a thoughtful gift to a female friend who is fabulous and does not yet know it – as it acts to confirm their personal choices, which always gives self-confidence. Although this first book in the series is aimed at women there is an important message that everyone needs to hear. It has a chapter which encourages people to appreciate their own inner beauty, health and vitality, encouraging them to love their own body and resist changing it in an invasive fashion. It acts as a catalyst for change and aims to help you reframe the way you view yourself and your body, in and out of your clothes.

“Great little e-book at a great price. Easy and quick to read with lots of useful information regarding your body shape/type – what to wear to enhance it. Also, lots of very interesting website addresses to give you ideas. Handy to have on your kindle when shopping, just as a reminder.” M. Phillips - Amazon Purchase

My fashion and fabric knowledge is linked to her Neuro-Linguistic Programming Practitioner status and is a heady mix of design and lifestyle coaching. My role in fashion ‘Haute Couture’ culminated in a doctorate combining fashion and experiential coaching. The book contains a confidence building method of loving your body and your own personal style and creativity. It unleashes a new approach to your wardrobe, it saves you time and money and promotes success. Whether you shop in Primark or Harvey Nics and are planning for an interview or special occasion, or simply need stress free mornings, My book will help you plan your wardrobe so that you always look your best. You will never look back!

I use my NLP and doctoral research to help rid people of unwanted behaviour patterns such as eating disorders, shopping addictions, body dysmorphia over use of cosmetic surgery or simply giving people a confidence boost!

RetirementTimes.co.uk

July 6, 2012 — ConnectCumbria

Welcome to Retirement Times

A FREE, seasonal magazine distributed through major supermarkets, business premises, places of work, retail outlets and through our network of ‘Key’ business links.

The Retirement Times is a glossy A4 publication targeted at the over 55’s. We aim to interact with our readership covering the seven major categories:-

Health and Fitness
Travel and Leisure
Legal and Financial affairs

Food and Drink
Home Time

Personal Lifestyle Fulfilment
Social Care News

A FREE, seasonal magazine distributed through major supermarkets, business premises, places of work, retail outlets and through our network of ‘Key’ business links. Our distribution will be 10,000 per area:- Furness and South Lakes, Morecambe and Lancaster, Blackpool and the Fylde coast….etc. We have proven reader participation together with a unique advertiser feedback service.

About Retirement Times

It is our intention that the magazine will provide a useful, interesting and light entertaining read for a local population whilst incorporating some relevant news from around the world.

Firstly, it is your magazine.

Our mission is to find local business partners that share our wish to offer a relevant magazine to their local customers.

The advertisers supporting this edition join us in wanting to offer relevant products that may be of interest to you in maximizing your £ spend and sometimes offering special deals for readers. Please don’t be shy in letting them know that you support their interest in this venture when you call them.

We will always try to offer a Special Readers offer that doesn’t conflict with our advertising partners and you can be sure that will be a winner.

We will be looking for readers’ letters offering editorial, questions and suggestions for future development.

However, we believe that to start with our 7 key areas of interest should be good to get us ‘out of the blocks and rolling’.

These are Home & Garden, Food & Drink, Health & Wellbeing, Transport & Mobility, Finance & Legal, Holidays & Leisure and Personal Fulfillment.

Although we intend to produce the physical magazine and distribute efficiently through our marketing partners, we believe that we should not fall behind modern trends and therefore intend to utilize our http://www.retirementtimes.co.uk website as an important part of our development to bring our latest news as it happens.

Without doubt, this will be an evermore-useful way for our advertising partners to offer you special deals as our publication grows.

So, Thank you for taking time out to read this. You are important to us and we value your feedback. Please help us to succeed by either taking up a subscription special offer for future postal editions or supporting our advertising partners where possible. They are part of our team and we look forward to some happy stories from our partners contact with you.
