It is beginning to get hot with the London 2012 activities and I am told the party is just starting.
More contract opportunities have been announced and these are now listed on my blog site so that you can access them easily in the future. Check out my blog site for the latest news on contracts. Spread the news so that others can benefit too.
Now, this is my personal message to diverse businesses. I want to encourage you to rise up to the challenge of London 2012 opportunities. True, some of you have personally informed me that you see no need to participate but in all fairness there is support for those businesses that want to win contracts and this week I will be announcing some of the subsidised and online courses that are now available to you through BSS Management Consultancy.
If you would like to know more about this event, go to http://www.sheilaelliott.com where all the relevant information is posted. You will also find a link to register for this event on the blog site.
If you are not a diverse business, then you do not need to register for the free event at the end of this month. If you are not sure whether your business is classified as diverse, go to http://www.sheilaelliott.com to find out from BERR the definition of diverse business for the purpose of this event.
Do you know we now have a membership site? We are encouraging all women in business and black entrepreneurs (who very often are unable to attend workshops during the day) to join us in networking, learning business and leadership skills in the evenings via evening tele-classes and monthly event at Novotel Greenwich. When you become a paid member you can showcase your products and services, submit articles and access our online forum where more support awaits you. Check it out and by the way there is also a free membership package http://www.bsslearningcenter.com. It is risk free.
Another great news is that my book is finally published. This is a toolkit for those who are looking to fast track their business success. The book is available on my websites and you can read more about it, as well as review testimonials of the book by going to http://www.mybusinessismybusiness.com. There are chapters devoted on procurement, marketing strategies and financial skills.
