A Recipe to Keep Calm
When we have too much to do we often get stressed. This is as a result of too much adrenalin being produced by the body. This creates dis-ease in the body which can then lead to disease.
A simple way to reduce the adrenalin flow is simply to control the breathing in the following way.
Breath in to a count of 4. Breath out to a count of 6. Repeat 10 times.
It is important to make your out breath longer than the in breath as this sends a signal to the unconscious mind to reduce the adrenalin flow. In this way you regain control and are calm and relaxed thereby increasing your productivity.
A Big Thank You to Fiona Coppard
Fiona very kindly donated a necklace for the business draw at the Sevenoaks meeting today.
Fiona is a star networker and it has been inspiring seeing how her business has grown and diversified since she joined 1230 TWC

Are you in business with a relative?
I help out with the production of “The Business Show” on Westside radio (www.westsideradio.co.uk) and we are looking for guests for a show on “Families in Business”.
I would rather have a 1230 member on the show but if you know anyone who sounds suitable please tell them to get in touch.
The show will be on Friday 1st August at 10-11am and the station is based in Southall, West London but guests need to be there for 9.30am.
This is a great opportunity to promote yourself and your business and is also a wonderful opportunity for continuous personal development.
If you are reading this and are interested but feel some anxiety about promoting yourself, this is more the reason to power through your fear and do it.
Don’t let fear hold you back from the success you deserve. Email me now at lola@urbanspirit.co.uk and tell me a bit about yourself.
Have you considered Business Coaching?
What can it achieve? Will I be able to implement ideas? Aren’t I the best person to know what will work for me? Why would I need a coach?
These are the questions that Sue Thorn, Business Coach, will answer for us in a free interactive session at 1230 Woking on Wednesday 16th July.
This is bound to be popular and places are limited so book now to secure your place!
Fantastic Friday!
On Friday 20 June, I met with 5 vibrant business women in Greenwich. Their aim? To be 1230 Managers! My aim? To see them leave the training room totally ready to meet their challenges as 1230 Managers. We all succeeded! Watch the web site for Mandy Shepherd, Karen Wilkinson, Paula Pomeroy, Anne Hulbert and Lesley Jones

Networking with 1230 in Sevenoaks, Woking and further afield!
This week has been a busy one … and still another day to go!
The best experiences of the week were a visit to 1230 Sevenoaks (Manager: Beverley Hamilton) and to 1230 Woking (Manager: Fiona Syrett). Both meetings were very well attended and there were women from a wide range of business sectors.
I met accountants, a tax adviser, solicitors, business & life coaches, a dog trainer, a financial adviser, a foreign language school owner, a business jewellery retailer and women who can save you money on all your utility bills. There was a homeopathist, printer, internet marketing consultant, nutritionist, a computer specialist, an IT trainer, a child care business owner, interior designer and a photographer and more besides! It isn’t difficult to see how easy it is to make excellent business contacts at 1230 meetings. When I think that each of the people I have mentioned here – and there were many more I haven’t mentioned – probably has 500 or so contacts in their network the mind boggles with possibilities.
… and I heard this week of a 1230 member who has earned £27,000 in just over one year as a 1230 Member. Not bad for well under a £200 investment!
Many Businesses being asked to pay upwards of 50% more for their energy bills!
Excuse the rather unusual approach, but if you are reading this and you are one of the unfortunate businesses that will have to pay nearly double for your gas and electric in the coming months, it might interest you to know that I can help! I am saving many businesses a lot of money on their utilites and if you would be interested in finding out how much I can save you, give me a call on 0800 977 5190 or email me at info@pagesltd.co.uk
Calling all Independent Women!
Are you an Independent Woman? If so, you won’t want to miss Beverley Cotterell’s talk at 1230 Woking on 18th June.
This session will help us understand what measures we should be taking to enrich our financial futures.
The key message is that it is important for us all to take control of our finances and think of our futures. As wives and mothers we tend to put the rest of the family first and often forget our own needs, relying on our husbands / partners for our future needs.
Many of us are successful, self employed entrepreneurs and therefore we must think about our futures before it’s too late!
Beverley is a 1230 member and an Associate Partner of the St. James’s Place Partnership.

So, I am looking for future guests who want to be on radio. The show is aimed at 18-30 year olds interested in business and offers an entertaining and informative magazine style show featuring a range of business people.
Each show has an entrepreneur and an expert and we are keen to explore as many business angles as possible.
