Bromley Business Club

Welcome to February's newsletter,

Our next meeting is for those people who sit at their desk for far too many hours a day without getting up, not even when it's their turn to make the tea!

It's taking place on Thursday 11th February, at our regular venue of the Bromley Court Hotel, from 7.30pm.

Our speaker, Dr Jason Gould BSc, MChiro, DC, will be discussing Back Pain at his Business Workshop.

Whether at home, at work, or on the move, more and more of us are spending large parts of our day using a computer. When sitting and concentrating on the screen for so long, we may not be aware that the position we are in is, in fact, harmful to our spine. To help combat this and protect our backs, Dr Jason Gould has some advice to keep in mind when twittering, blogging, surfing or emailing!

Come along to Jason's Back Pain and Business Workshop covering a number of practical exercises to help reduce the risk of injury!.

This event ideally needs people to be put into pairs so you can observe and advise the other person on their posture. So just for this event we are doing a deal on the entry price. Bring along a friend and they get in for half price, non-members entry is normally £8, this will be reduced to £4 if you come along with a friend.

The half price entry fees will all go to the clubs' dedicated charity, The Maypole Project, so you'll not only be helping yourself, you'll also be helping 100's of children with life threatening, life limiting illnesses and their families across South East London.

Members' Blog

We're about to launch a Members' Blog on the club website to help our members advertise their businesses.

If you're a member of the club you're eligible to post an article on the blog which will subsequently go into our newsletter, going out to over 1000 businesses in the south east. A great way to reach out to businesses in the area.

If you already have a company blog then you'll know how powerful a tool it can be to gain traffic to your website and influence people. Stay tuned for an update early next week!

I'll hopefully see you next month, having missed last months' meeting due to illness I'm really looking forward to what advice Jason will give us.

January 2010 Reminder

Bromley Business Club

Here's a quick reminder about our next meeting,

Which is tomorrow, Thursday 14th January, taking place at our regular venue of the Bromley Court Hotel, from 7.30pm.

Our speaker, QJ, The Inspirationist will be talking on how putting the needs of your customers ahead of your own leads to major success.

From one man band to SME with blue-chip corporate clients, and back again, QJ has had 30 years experience as a leader, always his own boss. His overarching belief about success is that it is always about people.

His experience has shown that by investing in other people's success, more often than not putting the needs of your customers and staff ahead of your own, you cannot fail to succeed in a major way.

QJ's story is an interesting one, but on this occasion, he's going to share with us more than just his story. He's going to give us some of the 'how to', and not just his own.

His knowledge and skill now has been informed by watching, listening, learning from and testing the methods, strategies and tools that other successful people exploit and prosper from.

On top of this is his own study, research and practice in the field of personal development per se. He advocates 'standing out from the crowd' and 'do what no one else is doing' or if you do 'make sure it looks like what you do is different'.
