Keeping calm when everything is falling around you

Today I sat on my BizTalkRadio switchboard sipping coffee with 9 minutes to go before the Show started. Then things started to go wrong. Firstly I downloaded an interview with John Peers and it seemed to get stuck. Then I dialled up the programme server through Skye and I couldn't get through as Host. And I hadn't printed off the Show Schedule that I write before each Show!

That's when the panic set in!!

With just 24 seconds to go I found my cheap calls log-in and dialled away. Once I had entered my host PIN I was able to run the Show, but without notes and with just 2 minutes of pre-recorded info. I hope it was ok for you. Keep listening. There are some great items coming up.

So if you were looking forward to listening to John Peers you'll just have to wait a few days until the Tuesday Show. You may have picked up some good information and I do hope you are using social media. It can make all that difference.

Meanwhile I've been talking to Rob Warlow this morning who has some sound bites on banking and one is ways to repair a bad relationship with a bank. Won't work for everyone but if you don't try you won't succeed. So listen in for that.

I hope you enjoyed the call with Julia DeBattista. Until recently Julia had been working in the Financial Services sector for many years as an underwriter, team leader, office manager and latterly as a mortgage and insurance consultant. Having had a 'light-bulb moment' towards the end of 2008 Julia has now built a small portfolio of successful business operations, including 'Your Office Partners' which provides a flexible, professional and reliable support service to busy entrepreneurs and business owners.

Having found an overwhelming fascination for all things 'Web' too Julia is passionate about the power of the Internet and the infinite possibilities it can provide businesses. Networking online as well as face-to face has become a large part of her daily routine and has opened many doors to both people and opportunities that she may not have come across during the normal course of business life. The Internet has helped to build 'Workshops Wales' which promotes seminars, workshops and business training events throughout Wales and also 'Couples Without Kids' a review website for fine dining, boutique hotels and all things luxurious (just leave the kids at home!)

As passionate about networking as she is, Julia also runs a ladies network called 'We're Not Gossiping - We're Networking' which provides informal gatherings for female entrepreneurs, business owners and professionals from across South Wales. 'WNGWN' is networking for Women as it should be - informal, fun and profitable.

Julia is currently working on another exciting project which she will be coming on the show to tell us about soon. Her links are:
