Issue 19
December 2008

Welcome to our 19th newsletter. May I take the opportunity of wishing you all a very happy Christmas and New Year. We have lots of exciting events lined up for 2009.
Firstly we are offering a FREE will to anyone aged 75 or over in the week commencing Monday 12th January. Our first seminar of 2009 will take place on Monday 19th January – the Recession Buster. I am particularly excited about this and can honestly say that if you only attend one event this year – make it this one. It will be packed full of practical tips which we are convinced will make a real difference to your business in 2009’ harsh climate – the biggest question is how my co-presenter (our practice director) Jane Bishop and myself will pack it all into 1½ hours.
Finally, our series of three monthly seminars from Shirlaws – the country’s leading business coaches – start on Tuesday 3rd February after the Salisbury Breakfast Club. If you are serious about developing your business you really should attend – and it's a steal to get that kind of expertise for just £50 – with an added moneyback satisfaction guarantee
In the meantime, if there is anything I can help you with please feel free to contact me.
