This is Adrian Fleming and welcome to the first ­series of what we call Marketing or Entrepreneurial Hot Seat. The first one is about Email Marketing. One of the things that I really love…

In Person and Online Training Even though I’ve been in marketing and entrepreneurship for many years there are always improvements that I can make and one major source of education for me is in person and online training. Being a successful entrepreneur is all about constant improvement because nobody, even with 20 years experience, knows it all. I constantly look for the best people in specific…

How I Learn and Profit From Books, Podcasts and Training Material

I’ve previously talked about how I manage to consume so much content each week, from books, audio books, blogs, podcasts and training courses but the other thing people ask me is how I take all that information and turn it into something meaningful and actionable – well here’s how I do it so you can do it too. The first thing to say is that I start by going through everything, if possible, from…

Markets I’ve been asked to get involved in but declined

I’ve previously shared some of the markets I’m in and have been in as an entrepreneur but I thought I’d also share with you a few of the markets I’ve been asked to get involved in by other people that I’ve turned down because this is probably just as relevant for you when you look at new opportunities. Just to give you an insight into my thought processes, I see opportunities every single day and…

Award Winning doesn’t mean good either

A short time ago I ruffled a few feathers saying being certified and qualified people aren’t necessarily good at what they do and that people and businesses that dish out these certifications may have debatable credentials too, especially as training and certifying people in marketing and entrepreneurship seem to be quite a fashionable business these days. Now just to be clear – I’m not saying if…

Markets I’m in now and have been involved in over the last 15 years

Many people talk about and teach marketing, business strategy and entrepreneurship but I’m never sure they have real life experience in any more than one or two markets at most and sometimes they are just taking what they’ve learned from somewhere else and “spinning it” to make it sound like they’re an expert – that to me is wrong! I believe that before you offer help to others, especially on the…

Success comes in many forms, whether it’s in business, sport or personal situations, it’s also very specific to each individual – what constitutes success for me is different to what it is for you. However, the mindset of a successful person is consistent and, most importantly, learnable, no matter what goals and expectations you have. The mindset principles you’re about to learn will help you…

Certified and Qualified does not mean good

Over the years I’ve been lucky enough to meet and work with some incredible people, most of which, if I’m honest, are not qualified to be incredible at what they do and nor do they have a wall at home or in the office full of certificates – the reason they’re great is that they are passionate about what they do, have worked hard at what they do, have learned from other people who are great and…

There’s more to it than Features and Benefits – there are two other elements I was watching the UK TV show Dragon’s Den the other day when one of the people pitching for investment says he’d like to go through the benefits of his product with the Dragon’s, needless to say he listed features. Another example was a leaflet I was handed yesterday from a company looking to sell managed print…
