Book Fair Virgins (Before You Go)

Publisher and Book Fair VirginHow To Survive, Stay Alive and Perhaps Even Thrive at Your First Book Fair

The London Book Fair 2009 was my first time.

Of course, I knew the bigger publishers went to the fair. And I knew that all the suppliers would exhibit at the fair. And from all accounts, the scary buyers from bookshops would be there too! But would my small publishing business gain any benefit from exhibiting there?

Being a Lean Marketer exhibitions are usually way down on my list of marketing activities, often consigned to the “waste money” category of recreational marketing. So to make it into a “must do” activity I needed to do some thinking and planning.

I had goals for this fair – I wanted…

The Truth About Moving Abroad and Whether It's Right for You: Should I Stay or Should I Go?

SocialTwist Tell-a-Friend

Expat author and blogger says: some people are better off staying put rather than pursuing a new life overseas.

Paul Allen, founder of ExpatLiving101.com and author of a new book for would-be expats entitled, ‘Should I Stay or Should I Go? The Truth About Moving Abroad And Whether It’s Right For You’ says:
“Millions of people dream of a sun-drenched life abroad, yet most never manage to turn their dreams into reality. For those who do make the move, the relocation too often proves to be harder than they had expected.”

Drawing on years of experience of living abroad, and the reflections of expatriates from around the world, Paul Allen has set out to create a comprehensive guide offering insights into the pros and cons of living overseas, and advice for anyone contemplating a move abroad.

He continues: “This new book has been written specifically to address both the bright and dark sides of living abroad, and thus help people finally decide whether it is the right move for them. So whether they ultimately go or not, the book will spur readers to pursue the life they truly want.”

Sell Your Self: Act Your Way To Sales Success

SocialTwist Tell-a-Friend

Are you tired of ending up with the wrong person? Are you with the right person but fearful of things going wrong? In either case this new book, written by a leading UK executive coach and practicing Druid, is for you.

In ‘Learn to Love & Be Loved in Return’, author Dr Paul Burr, sets out a practical, emotional and spiritual path for developing successful and lasting relationships in all areas of your life. You can start by improving your relationship with yourself.

Paul says, “This book will not double your dating rate nor make your more seductive or better at chatting people up. Instead you will discover and build upon the roots at the heart of all successful relationships. It’s about becoming authentic through a commitment to, and understanding of, real truth so that your relationships can blossom.”

Paul wrote this book because he’s keenly aware that whilst love undoubtedly brings great joy to many lives, it can also be the source of the most suffering.

“In my executive coaching practice, people would come to me with ‘performance’ issues or goals they wanted to achieve. Invariably what mattered most to them was their relationships with loved ones, colleagues and friends. By helping them to get the relationships in their life on track, they achieved massive breakthroughs in other areas.”

The book is big on personal responsibility. It is packed with self coaching tips and easy-to-follow steps for entering into and nurturing healthy, productive and happy relationships.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

According to Unison (the public sector union), reports of bullying have doubled in the past ten years. Their survey of 7,000 workers found that more than one in three people had been victims of bullying in the past six months.

Dr Daniel Scott, author of ‘Verbal Self Defense in The Workplace’, says: “With the current financial climate, extra pressure has been put on managers and workers to get results. This has led to more aggressive targets, increased pressure, more criticism of co-workers and a very real concern for job security.”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

If you’re a mum considering starting or already running your own business then you’re in good company. Mums who run their own business contributed £4.4bn to the UK economy in 2008 with more and more mums deciding that working from home gives them the best work/life balance.

Susan Odev, entrepreneur, mother and co-author of ‘Mum Ultrapreneur: 8 essential secrets to starting, running and building a successful mum-based business’ says: “Despite all the recent media interest and the creation of titles like ‘Lipstick Entrepreneur’, ‘WAHM’ which stands for ‘Work At Home Mum’ and ‘Mumpreneur’, it’s a myth to believe business acumen amongst women and mothers, in particular, is
a new phenomenon.”
