Ah, welcome along to my newsletter listeners and fellow podcasters, and human beings.

Interesting week on the show, we are following a lady called JANINE, on her weight loss, she wants to lose 2 stone, to prove a point to her tennis coach, who, according to her is a complete meanie, to put it mildly.

It is normally pretty good to have an accountability partner for our goals, and you can’t get much better than the whole South West of a City.

She has promised to send a piccie, we are going to do a before and after, good luck Janine.

We also had a great “Power of Radio” this morning. Let me explain. I put a thought out there, asking what drove people mad, the stuff in society that we look at and think “That’s Crazy”. Political correctness gone mad is a good example for me, this militant attempt to not offend anybody no matter what. Anyhow, a lady called up and said “Ageism”. She is in her late 40′s and been looking for a job for a long time, and the best she ws offered was a voluntary job.

Voluntary!!

This is a lady with 30 years Customer Service Experience. It’s bonkers.

So we put it out there, a “verbal CV” if I may.

10 minutes later, we had a call to the Radio Jackie office and….

Someone had been listening with a possible position for her! And it was in the area she wanted too.

Power Of Radio. I love it!

Now, dear Podcasters, why not start the year with your own pure profit pulling podcast…

I really don’t know how much longer I can keep this at this price, so act now!!

If you are wanting training in radio skills, I am up for one on one sessions, just shoot me an e-mail at neil@neillong.com

Had one success story at the tail end of last year, looking for more.

My hairdresser, and her partner, have challenged me to a 30 mile bike ride, in May. Perhaps I am bonkers, but I accepted.

Me and daughter are doing it- so we arer going to dust off the bikes and get training. Be a good excuse to finally lose that last inch round the midriff!.

30 MILES! At keast its all flat! I am looking forward to getting my copy of the new Tim Ferriss book “The 4 hour body”, you know author of the 4 hour workweek. I do recommend reading it, if you have not already, he really is doing it! And he’s a great outside the box thinker and a compelling read.

Part of what he talks about in the book is Outsourcing, in other words getting other people to do the stuff you don’t want to do, or as one of my favourite success coaches put it IAFFI (If It Ain’t Fun, Forget It). I like that mantra. Sometimes it can be hard to know who to trust and who not to when it comes to outsourcing, I mean we can all quote the phrase “Man in the Phillipines”, but what really does that entail?

If I can help shine some light on it for you, I have some free videos here for you .

Speaking of Internet MARKETING, if you are just beginning, or even if you have been in the game for a while, I thoroughly recommend this membership site from  CHRIS FARRELL. He is a fellow radio man, who also is making the transition into internet marketing.

Well, more accurately, he has made the transition, and is doing it very well. It is a common story, that some people will sell you “success products”, when they don’t use them themselves, or even know if they work). Not so with Chris. His membership site explains EVERYTHING, and I do mean EVERYTHING! Seriously. And you can get started for under $5.

CLICK HERE FOR MORE DETAILS

Normally it is the little things people get stuck on, leading to lots of “help” e-mails to help centres, and that process can take days.

Seriously, Chris has covered it all, and I am sure you will appreciate his smoth radio voice as well.

Have a great weekend, and a wonderful 2011

Twas the night before Christmas

Near the end of the year

Neil did his writing

The  hit the beer.

Beautiful!

In my exploration of psychology over the years, I have come upon something that might be called “Positive Psychology”, I hit on the idea of appreciation. Appreciate what you have and all that rather than bemoan what we don’t.

I don’t want to get all deep on you, all I want to say is Thankyou to….

…all mine, Nicky’s and Radio Jackie’s listeners, who sent us so many nice and heartfelt messages this morning on air.

It is so nice to get messages that “We get people through the morning” in a small way if I can make a difference, then it is a pleasure to do so…

So a very happy Christmas to all our listeners, to all my customers and clients through the year, and to all the folks I will meet in 2011.

And of course to my family and personal friends…

May 2011 be great for all of us in a thousand little ways.

And some big ones too!

More updates soon…..

Neil

Hi there from Neil, I just wanted to drop you a quick line to
with you Seasons Greetings… and update you on a few bits
in the world of Podcasting and Internet Marketing.

And to make you an offer you cannot refuse….

I am enjoying working one on one with various clients at the moment,
one who I am meeting in person (just to prove there is a real
person behind this!)

I am training her in radio skills. She has a long held dream
to be on radio and we are having face to
face sessions, and she is doing really well.

Despite what you may think, radio skills are teachable and rather easily
as well.

I can offer sessions on Skype, or if we are local, face to face.

Or, if you have a privare jet, you can fly me out to

meet you!

**********************************************************************

I liked the news story this week about panda conversationists
dressing up in full size panda costumes as part of their job.

They do not want to “humanise” the cubs too much,
but they do need to touch them, so they
dress up as full size pandas as art of the gig.

Personally, I don’t think you should panda
to the kids like that!

I have a friend from a local wildlife sanctuary,
who sent out a press release about hedgehogs,
which I will share later. They are not ill or
dead, probably only sleeping. Seriously!

*************************************************************************

Sometimes you just want to get on
with what you are good at, and not
spend hours on the technical side.
There again, you have probably heard
about Web 2.0 social media,
and think if you’re not tweeting you are probably
missing out on something.

Well, the good news is I have put together a really cool
“pick and mix”bespoke package for you,
which can get the irritating time of manually
updating all those services, to 5 minutes.

Seriously, 5 minutes!

Did you know there is a new service that combines
Facebook, You Tube, and
Twitter? It’s called You Twit Face

HEDGEHOGS

Sometimes you have to wonder if the life of a hedgehog is
somewhat simpler than the life of online entrepreneurs…

According to my friends at Wildlife Aid, that I mentioned earlier,
apparantly not!

This time of year, if you are out and about in your garden or
walking in the countryside,you may well encounter hedgehogs
curled up and motionless. Many people in this
situation assume that these hedgehogs are dead –
but chances are they are just hibernating!

In recent weeks the volunteers at local animal charity
Wildlife Aid have taken scores of calls from
members of the public reporting that they have
found dead hedgehogs and others have
brought the little creatures into the
charity’s Leatherhead centre to check
whether they are alive or dead.

Wildlife Aid founder Simon Cowell MBE
admits that if you don’t know what you are
looking for, it can be hard to tell if a hedgehog has died,
is unwell, or is just having its winter sleep.

I can understand why some people aren’t sure, as a
hibernating hog has a very slow heartbeat that
isn’t easily detected – and sometimes doesn’t
seem to be breathing at all,” says Simon.

In the last few days we’ve already had four hedgehogs
brought into  Wildlife Aid by members of the public
who were concerned that these animals
might be dead or dying.

It is good that people are so concerned but
in most cases there really is nothing to worry about.

However, Simon adds, “if you see a hedgehog that is
still up and about at this time of year,
and scurrying around, then that
is when you’d be right to be concerned!

By now, all hedgehogs should be in hibernation and
if they’re not then there is something wrong.
So, if you find a hedgehog in your garden in December
and it’s moving around then our advice is to pick it up carefully,
take it indoors and weigh it.

This is the best way to tell its condition.
A healthy hog should weigh over 600g. Any less is a bad sign,
especially below 500g. That’s when you should call Wildlife Aid
and arrange to bring it in to us to be examined.
So now you know. And of course its not THAT Simon Cowell!
Anyway, I do not have an affiliate link for hedgehogs!!, but
if you would like to “adopt” one, you can on

One week to go until the official launch on Womens Radio of Your internet profits radio show.com, a show talking to internet marketing supremos, so if you are slogging away online with no success yet, it could be the show for you. The guests we have on are relateable and nice as well, ‘cos that’s important.

Nicola has been giving me some lessons as well on internet marketing, it really is a never ending education, I do recommend her by the way, as well as Money Gym membership- if you want more “financial intelligence”, I thoroughly reccommend her. She’s lovely as well.

Good luck Tina – if you are up for your own radio online show, just get in touch.

You know Maureen as in 118212, you can now ask any question you want, silly or serious. I asked her out, texted “Hey Maureen, how about a hot date”

The reply- I am a corporation, and therefore cannot go out on dates of any kind.
