Build, maintain and use a good network of people | Idea |
Make sure you have a good healthy network of people who know you (and hopefully like you). You will need them to:
- provide advice
- provide services to you like training, job finding, trades people for a new business premises etc
- look out for work for you, and recommend you
There are some good tools to help you manage a network, like LinkedIn or Plaxo
Take a break between jobs | Idea |
Too often when we leave a job, we rush into another without taking a break.
If you take a breather, you will start the next job with renewed energy, instead of dragging yourself along on day one in recovery mode.
Batten down the hatches | Idea |
I see a lot of fiddling while the economy burns. In fact there appears to be an air of "phew that's over". The recession drops off the media's radar thanks to their infantile attention spans. Please be aware that this recession hasn't even started - and plan your coming years accordingly.
Top Five Regrets of the Dying | Idea |
1. I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.
2. I wish I didn't work so hard.
3. I wish I'd had the courage to express my feelings.
4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.
5. I wish that I had let myself be happier.
