No is a Complete Sentence

Almost all the women I’ve worked with have trouble saying no.

Newsletter v Blog

Aug 15th, 2005 | By Nicola Cairncross | Category: Money Gym | Diaries

Now a while ago I killed off my alter ego "The Seaside Landlady" for three reasons mainly. 
One is that the newsletter had got kind of unwieldy and the writing of it tended to hang over me a bit every week.  The second was that I did it in HTML and spam filters are getting [...]

My ex-business coach Chris Barrow has been blogging on the process of Business Development and planning ahead that is so important to the success of any business.  He has also been drawing distinctions between the Marketing Funnel and the B/S Funnel - if you know Chris you will know what he means by that!  Read [...]



Not so cross now

Aug 15th, 2005 | By Nicola Cairncross | Category: Money Gym | Diaries

Update on the SmartOPTINPages software…….
I actually managed - with the help of LiquidWeb telephone support - to set up a MySQL database, then I worked through the (not great it has to be said) manual for the SmartOPTINPages software and sort of managed to publish 100 keyword specific newsletter opt in pages, with dynamic text [...]

I’m not…..shrinking that is

Aug 14th, 2005 | By Nicola Cairncross | Category: Money Gym | Diaries

I’m heavier that when I started.  In spite of going to the gym spasmodically.
Three things I could do to help:
1.  Walk around the block on the days I don’t get to the gym
2.  Drink Ame instead of white wine to unwind in the evenings during the week (it tastes very similar)
3.  Join weightwatchers and give [...]



Well, I’m so cross with myself!

Aug 14th, 2005 | By Nicola Cairncross | Category: Money Gym | Diaries

Well I am cross with myself! 
I vowed to myself (and Steve) that I wouldn’t buy any more software - especially the kind that makes promises of vast amounts of traffic and suchlike, but I succumbed this morning (Steve in Prague on stag weekend………) to another purchase.  Stephen Pierce’s SmartOptInPages.  It’s a big old price [...]
