TweakYourBiz TV Exclusive Interview With Lucy Masterson Of Hireland
"A fantastic interview, Fiona and Lucy of Hireland. Lucy's passion really comes through and I have huge admiration for what she went ahead and accomplished, despite leaving a secure environment. Lucy, has represented a little piece of all of us!"Larry Page And Google: Individual Empowerment Requires Forceful Leadership!
"Money and access to finances can cover up a lot! Organisations also seem to think at times, big money can replace innovation. Mediocracy is rife, CEOs need to look at breaking from the pack, and stop using buzzwords like Empowerment to represent what they don't really believe in. I enjoyed your comment on empowerment - "They are given the authority to do what needs to be done to achieve a specific result." It needs to stop there, so that autonomy can shine through! Interesting post, thank you Bob"5 Awesome Steps To Qualify A Client
"I really enjoyed this post John, a direct approach to the sales process or model. I find that questions, questions, questions can often be a ploy to mask nervousness or used excessively by someone who is unsure of themselves. Having a proper process can avoid these situations, and by being confident, our clients can feel confident also. Asking for the business is a tough call for the irish small business owner who is not naturally an entrepreneur, I like your point about asking for the business early on, and preempting objections or asking the client what could prevent the deal from going ahead. Kinda puts the onus a bit more on them, which means they take a more vested interest in the success of the deal."12 Expressions that Measure Online Love
"A great combo combination from Tina! I was intrigued by Mari Smith's post, and really enjoyed reading Sian's post too."spread the love" is my ethos on social networking sites - being a connector as much (or even more than) interacting is great kudos for any small business owner :)"With the ‘Gift of the Gab’ The Irish Were Great Social Networkers Long Before Facebook Or Twitter
"We are everywhere!! I heard a few years ago, that there are 17 million Irish Passports in the world, I wonder if this is true. Just as well that we travel, our country really is too small for 40 million souls (including baggage). Yes, we are great talkers and networkers and I would add that we are great connectors, my favourite of course is the wonderful Niall Devitt of Tweak your Biz :) Not to forget that we also have the ability to talk and discuss the weather for ever, especially last week, as the island of Ireland nearly sank into the Atlantic Ocean..."5 Reasons Why Blog Comments Don’t Matter
"We are human, we judge a book by its cover, and are much more likely to engage on a blog if there is already a conversation / debate in the comment section. (OR if the post moves us personally) However, I would rather someone use their 20 seconds to share my blog post on 3 different platforms, than take the time to comment for the sake of it. The other side of the coin, many blogs (including this site) do leave a call to action / provoker at the end to encourage participation. Unlike this site, a lot of blogs who have a more lengthy comment thread, can end up with 10 different conversations / debates in the comment section, and the original topic is not discussed anymore, but people are reacting to each other's comments. I am still unsure whether this is good or not. To answer your own call to action, I feel people are commenting less on blogs and more when RTing a post, or liking on FB or +1 on G+ - I always add my own comment, rather than just "share". I believe it helps make it more human and appeal to the mind/heart. A great little thought provoker Shana, thank you!"Subscribe
