Hi
Friend
Happy New Year! For me
this a year of real hope ... all
lessons from history have taught me
that fortunes can be best made during
times of economic challenge, so roll
on 2009!
In this
edition I start by looking at
the lessons of Houdini the escape dog
and how they apply to goal setting
and planning. We then look at how
supporting your employees personal
goals is a great business
strategy.
Our business of the week is what
my kids so nicely call "Mummy's
Toys-R-Us" or Bunnings to use its
correct name.
THIS
WEEK
Reviewing 2008 and
Setting Goals for
2009
How did your goals for 2008 go?
Have you set new goals for 2009? In
this personal look at the year that
was, I look at the lessons I have
learnt from our hairy Houdini
and how these apply to business
goals. I share what worked and didn't
work from my goals in 2008 and what I
am planning for 2009.
ALSO IN THIS
EDITION
HR Tip -
Individual
Goals
Many of
your employees will have set New
Years resolutions. Helping them meet
them can be great for your
business.
Business of the Week -
Bunnings Hardware
Store
After
embracing my inner DIYer, I fell in
love all over again with Bunnings.
They have some great lessons any
business can apply to build loyal
customers.
Blog Post of the week:
How a Copywriter Saved
Christmas
I was doing some research on the
history of Christmas, and discovered
that Christmas as we know it wouldn't
have existed without some great
copywriters.
Next
week ...
Integrating
your
Branding
Have a
great week!
exuberantly
yours
