Newsletter 42 : 21 october 2010

>  Subscribe to the newsletter

Greetings

Welcome to our newsletter. You’ve received it because either you requested it (extra thanks!) or Kay or Jeremy have met you on our travels.
We offer a change from other newsletters which do demand an awful lot of reading, and hope you will find it diverting.
We aim to publish once every two weeks, but sometimes the flesh is weak even as the spirit is willing.


Quotations of the week

Interdependence is and ought to be as much the ideal of man as self-sufficiency. Man is a social being.

An error does not become truth by reason of multiplied propagation, nor does truth become error because nobody sees it. Truth stands, even if there be no public support. It is self sustained.

Mahatma Gandhi, Indian political and spiritual leader (1869 – 1948)


Dancing video of the week

Man dances in places all over the world  (dur 4:29)


Emotionally intelligent way of developing your business

Creating a number of referral relationships with other businesses is one of the best ways of growing your business. After all, people buy from people and who better to persuade someone to be your client than their trusted friend? The Referral Institute shows how, and the Referrals For Life™ Conference 2010 presented by international referral experts and the best place to find out more. It offers a full day of professional training guaranteed to increase your referral results. Walk away with proven models to increase your results, spend time with people committed to increasing their results and have some fun! The conference is in Birmingham on 26 October.


Tomato sauce video of the week

Malcolm Gladwell – he of The tipping point – talks about happiness choices, and perfection. I think you need to be aware that this is one long metaphor.  It’s interesting to watch the talk, observing how Gladwell uses stories to make his point, and to provide diversions. (dur 17:33)


All contributions welcome.

If you have been, thank you for reading.
