We Better Be Bolder
I’m thinking of you on the day after Brexit. Say what you like about Brexit, but it's certainly bold.
In Ireland bold means naughty. In the UK it means fearless.
Whatever your business, being fearless attracts attention. People admire courage. Confident communications carry further. Bold works.
Our bold tips
Back yourself - no half measures
Only work smartly - not long hours
Lift the big opportunities - avoid distractions
Devote time to learning more
What's your next communication going to be like?
Whether it'll be digital on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, Email, Website, WhatsApp, text, blog - it's worthwhile being bold.
If it's going to be in print, on a billboard, on the side of a bus, on TV, radio, a hand-written postcard, letter - it's worthwhile being bold.
One more tip
Write down your ambitions.
You've had January to think about them.
Roger's ambition:
This year, I want more people to say:
I've never seen/heard/read/experienced that before.
Show & Tell must have made it.
I must hire Show & Tell.
The Show and Tell team is ready to help your business improve and succeed by doing our best work for you.
With best wishes,
Paul (Roger & Anne)
Bold Bunny Boldly Going
Our [GAB*] Tip:
Be prepared to be bold
The Boeri Way
The timid skier is rarely a hit.
Be a bold bunny and use your wit.
Standout so you don't lose your head,
chomped off because you were the same
as those who went before and are behind.
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of storytelling power
Then yours is the Earth and everything in it.
And - which is more - you'll be
Remembered.
*Genuinely Attractive Business
Podcasting Is Fly Fishing
“It’s how you pull the big fish from the flowing stream,”
Podcasts lure people. They give customers (and potential customers) insight into what your business work is like behind the scenes. Also, when you have a podcast, you think more about your business. The quality of your thinking improves.
[If you like, Show & Tell will help you start a genuinely attractive podcast.]

Your Next Step Is…
Ignore our advice.
Be mild, gentle, inconspicuous
be nice
be unknown
be understated
... you won't attract half as much attention as you would if you were bold. But it might not matter to you. You might not be ambitious. You might be about to unsubscribe from this crazy Dispatch.
Be bold, be Bold
You already have allies.
That's our message to you.
Have a [GAB] week,
