It’s a question I posed on Facebook, and my boyfriend helpfully added “ask your boyfriend / girlfriend what your skills are”.

Before you get concerned (or go looking for the list!), we didn’t discuss any specifics on that post.

However, it had me thinking.

How do you know what you’re good at? How do you identify value? How do you know whether you have skills in anything, and whether they are good enough to be able to use them to benefit others and yourself?

Hello!

Wow, what a long time since I last wrote a blog post here!  Almost scandalous in fact.

Anyway, I’ve had a couple of blog posts in mind to share with you, so don’t be surprised if this suddenly becomes like the bus analogy here (you know, the “you wait for ages for a bus & then 3 come along at once” one).  Of course, I don’t wait for buses, I either drive or fly on my broomstick.

That rather neatly brings me on to the point of this post.

I have now been immortalised in cartoon form!

It’s a question I probably should ask in many different areas of my life.

However, in this instance, I want to talk about communication, and specifically that of the emailing-your-list variety.

If you have a list, how often do you email them? Is it just me that gets fed up with emails every day from the same people trying to sell things to me? Even if, in some cases, it’s a freebie that they’re offering – is it *really* relevant to me and my life? Or am I just being sent things as an attempt at building the list, or adswapping, or selling me some sort of affiliate product?

Hey all,

This is going to shut down very soon, and it comes with my highest recommmendation.

Alex Jeffreys is just releasing new spots for his now-notorious Marketing With Alex Coaching Course. It’s literally happening RIGHT now!  You need to hustle to even watch the video here … http://tinyurl.com/NikkiRecommendsNN

Spots for this kind of killer release go fast. And when you see the goodies he’s giving away – which are just nuts – you’ll understand why this is so urgent.

Pheww….

I’m back in the UK, sitting on my sofa with a cup of tea & some toast with peanut butter (yes, I know, I’m so English!).

I slept for about 18 hours straight when I got back home, but then I was up for about 34 hours prior to that – so I guess it figures really. It’s strange, I woke up in Las Vegas but went to sleep back in the UK. It’s amazing what you can do when you put your mind to it really.

Hi all,

Ok, so some of you have noticed that it’s all been rather quiet here lately.  Don’t worry, this doesn’t mean that I’m neglecting my blog duties, it just means that there are big changes afoot and behind the scenes I’ve got my accomplices working double time…I did contemplate threatening them with my whip, but felt that they would enjoy it all far too much, get distracted, and then not get on with the job in hand.

I don’t know why I instigate
And say what I don’t mean
I don’t know how I got this way
I know its not alright
So I’m
Breaking the habit
Tonight

As I’m writing this it’s Sunday night, I’m on the sofa, and reflecting on my weekend.  I’m also watching Transformers (the film) – so I’m multitasking as always. 

How time flies when you’re having fun!

Firstly, it’ll soon be time for the next issue of the Profit Pulling Project newsletter, courtesy of Garry Parkes.  If you haven’t signed up for your FREE copy, then you can do so here: Show Me The Newsletter!  I learn something new and get inspired with every issue, so it’s a must-have for me.

I have been guilty of procrastination since the New Year.  Yes, I work full time, and therefore don’t necessarily have as much time as others to dedicate to this at present.  But is that really true?  Or am I just a poor judge of efficient time management?

Gary’s 20 traits of Winners vs Losers post highlighted that to me – go and have a look and rate yourself honestly against the 20 points there.  It might just give you the wake up call you need.

OK, so over the past couple of days I keep seeing the video for this song, and then it’s been in my head…so I thought I’d share it with you.

Ever had one of those weeks where things just haven’t gone as planned?  You start off all confident and focused, and then everything rapidly goes downhill like a ball of string unravelling?
