Pack and go….
Chris | August 13, 2008Sad man - its the morning I leave for Greece and here I am checking my blog posts for comments (thanks Justin - very funny).
You recall my mention of the number 1 “must have” gadget in yesterday’s post - the flip video?
My thanks to my old mate Guy Levine, who immediately contacted me to explain that, not only does he have a UK distribution deal - but that he has also put together a simple “how to” guide on video blogging using the kit.
That’s what I call using your brain and your initiative - so thanks for contacting me mate and for your generous offer.
I’ll return the favour with this post and hope you get some business from it.
Before I go - I have never subscribed to GDP-UK as I felt that to be a non-dentist and consultant to the profession, it was inappropriate for me to be skulking around in there looking to either promote my business or look for leads.
But I do have former clients and friends who are always ready to spill the beans if I get a mention.
Hence the latest thread on “Chris Barrow joins IDH” which, I have to say, was remarkably well balanced and, in some cases, truly funny.
Fame at last - not bad for a bloke who arrived at the 1997 Showcase with no clients and no idea what he was doing - I remember walking around the halls for the day and bumping into one person that I knew from my old financial planning days.
Now I get gossip - how cool is that - a testament to the never-ending hard work of marketing and self-promotion.
I love dentists - I love the way they think and the way they behave - some of the best friends I have ever made are in the profession - and I intend to keep it that way.
As I mentioned in an email earlier today - I’ll be “judged” in 5 years from now on my ability to maintain my core values around leadership, management, systems, standards and the pursuit of profit with integrity and respect for people.
For now - I’m going to take a break - and if you are really interested, you can see my holiday reading list over on the right hand menu bar of this page and a little lower down and under “Planned” and “Current” books.
Back on the 21st.
