Tweeting can help to build a business and in Norfolk we have a Norfolk Hour and a Norwich Hour, where tweeters use the appropriate hashtag to join in the friendly discussions. People tweet links, share photos, or promote their latest offers. They make friends, meet new people and find new customers.

And now they have even more fun as Future Radio has a Monday evening Norwich Hour show from 8.00 to 9.00pm where people can tweet us @futureradio and choose a track. We have weekly themes and news features too. People can sponsor a show as well, and add extra PR sparkle to their business that week.

If you’re thinking Norwich is a bit sleepy….well….last week we were trending on Twitter UK during the show and that’s a lot of interaction to be part of!

If you’re not in Norfolk you can still take part by tuning in online at www.futureradio.co.uk or via DAB digital radio or with a radio player app.

We have a team of crack hosts and I’m lucky enough to be one of them, so tune in and take part. It could help your business and we always have fun.

And maybe explore similar Twitter happenings in your area? They are a route to market and not to be ignored.

Eight years ago I started tweeting to help rebuild my business after the recession. I made friends, created a huge local network for myself, sold books and found a great customer (who I’d never have met otherwise).

Take time to have fun with Twitter and join us at #NorwichHour @futureradio. Which track would you like me to play for you?

Next week: Simplify, Combine, Stop

Ho ho ho. It’s that time of year when we don ridiculous knitwear and aspire to offer peace and goodwill in abundance. So, as we have plenty of that C already the one I have in mind is C for Coaching.

Coaching…less knitwear and more results! And no need to quaff mulled wine, which is some kind of middle class conspiracy, as it is universally and unequivocally vile. Please don’t write in.

Take time to work with a business coach, in order to have a safe space to think and to test out ideas. We have a whole shiny new year ahead of us and so we can allow ourselves an hour or two to think about what we want to achieve and what might get in the way of that. We all rush from place to place and our thinking can be hurried, or we can ignore the truth. Coaching can be like a peaceful spa afternoon. Soak up the goodness.

And I’m sure Santa gets coaching from Rudolph, to help him focus his productivity and plan for next season. He knows how to stay on top of his business objectives.

Three good coaching questions for us to mull over (no wine please) are:

A) What do you really want?
B) What past behaviour patterns or current issues could get in the way of you getting what you need?
C) If I said you had at least three options to get round any blockers, what might they be?

And if you need some Rich-coaching then I’m available globally thanks to the magic of Skype (name is richardmaun). Skype today and we can ho ho hone your ideas!

Or feel free to phone a friend!
