|  Well,
what have I been up to you may ask. I am currently staying at Jon's,
and am off in the morning to a BNI meeting in Solihull. The BNI
is the Business Network International, and is, basically, a group
of business people who get together once a week and network with
each other.
They tell each other in 1 minute every week some aspect of their
business, product or service and each week members think of people
that might be interested in that service, or think of it for themselves.
What a fantastic idea.
They have them all over the world, you will find one near you I'm
sure. It's a great way to meet new business owners in your area
and to let them get to know you and what you do. [And it's fun and
social too and you pay £5.00 for a lovely breakfast!!!].
 This
works on the principle of 'if you pass business my way, I will do
the same for you!'
Every meeting, each member gets to stand up and give a 60 second
presentation on what their IDEAL customer would be, and ask everyone
in the room if they know someone who fits their ideal.
The others, in turn do the same, and at the end, most everyone
has a slip of paper in front of them with a lead. Wow.
What a way to make money. You can visit the BNI at www.bni.com

I
have been back home in Northern Ireland since the early hours of
Tuesday morning. It is great to be home I'm getting well and truly
pampered. I am taking this opportunity to update you a little from
the diary.
E.J.
and I also spent a couple of nights together on our own in London.
We stayed in a VERY SMALL apartment in Hempstead and we could walk
into London and did. We had a great time.
