Hi to everyone on Unibus I am pleased to have joined and actually find a site where I can download some of my own music. I hope you check it out. As well I have put some of my business details also and look forward to networking. Best wishes. Anthony Continue

That has to be one of the most soul destroying comments someone can make to you when you have set up a new business. It would be so easy to give up and go home. A few weeks ago that is the comment I had from someone I meet at a networking event. My reply? Well, first of all I gave them my best smile, and simply said 'Well you have now!' and two minutes later they had heard quite a lot about Affirmation Photography! So, if you would like to know about Affirmation Photography in under two minute… Continue

Just to let you all know, I've been nominated again for Swansea Bay Young Achiever Award! Have alisten to some of my MUSIC 4 Captain Correli's sample.mp3I I have a busy few months with wedding ceremonies, drinks receptions and any manner of other events. This Bank Holiday Monday I'll be down at the Swansea Motor Show in Singleton P… Continue

WOW!! Another excellent meeting! George Savva gave an inspirational insight into where we can all generate extra business from the business we are already doing, and gave most of us serious cause for thought along the way. Those of you who, like me, had more than a baker's dozen of "No"s on the initial audit will do well to use George's words as the basis for some serious planning and relevant activity in these difficult economic conditions!

Well, I've just had a week in Salou, Spain with the Dunvant RFC U16 squad who had a couple of good matches against stiff local opposition, coming away with one very close second place and one superb win - see my videos for a sample of the marmalisation of the pride of Catalonia - FC Barcelona Youth Rugby side!! Fellow unibus member Gerry Davies was on tour with me, and it was his boy at No4 making that superb lineout catch to set up the eventual try (thought I'd get that in before you did, Gerr… Continue

After the positive experience of the February Uni-bus meeting I made the decision - networking is the way forward for me. That proved to be a step change in my business development, and after 2-3 meetings per week during the ensuing period I am delighted by the response to the services I offer. The next big steps for me come this week - firstly today I have just taken delivery of the YELLOW PERIL - so keep an eye out for me and my branded SmartCar around Swansea and South Wales - high visual im… Continue

Both on Thursday 6th March and Saturday 8th March I was featured in a 4 minute spot on ITV about how I have grown my company to having nearly 20 employees in two years. I was just 18 when I started up and I feel proud to have achieved so much in such a short time, due to a great extent to the friends who have encouraged and supported me. Continue

Well, being in the position where I struggle to obtain financial backing through normal means (messy divorces wreak havoc with your credit rating) I have to concentrate on building my fledgling business with minimal investment in advertising. Networking is the way forward for me, and the meeting I attended last night at Swansea Uni was my first proper foray into the world of others since establishing my new venture. Although it was disappointing that there were fewer attendees from local busin… Continue
