My Journey with Facebook Live posts

One of my good clients, Mr. Craig Wilkinson, founder of the Elite Business Academy - challenged me to begin the habit of posting Facebook Live posts on a regular basis.

Designed to help, inform, support, educate and inspire the Elite Business Academy (AKA 'EBA' - and often hashtagged #EBAcircle ) and its members.

The 'pieces to camera' are all unscripted and unrehearsed, and delivered in my own Yorkshire accent and filmed on a smartphone just in the moment.

The subjects and tips range from design, advertising, marketing, networking and general stories about life. The pieces are all 'addressed' to an EBA audience, but they are useful to anyone who want a little bit of insight that my 30+ years in the business brings.

I hope you enjoy the posts and you find them helpful. If you do, please don't hesitate to share the knowledge and experience with people you know.
