Hi Friend
On the run into Christmas, many businesses are getting a head start on their marketing for the New Year. Recently we have been completing a lot of personal and professional profiles for people and have had many people comment about how hard it is to write their own. So this week we look at the reason it is so hard to write your own profile as well as some traps to avoid.
We then have a quick Forward with Fairness update - it seems to be moving forward with glacial pace.
I then share one of my favourite books just in time for Christmas, as well as a fascinating blog post about the power of post-it notes.
Finally we have a great last minute Christmas gift idea from Wild Dog Designs. Personalised wine labels - and they start from just $2 a label!
