So it turned out the fall was even worse than I thought. I fractured the ball joint! So I’ve been strapped up (literally) for 5 weeks, unable to drive or for that matter do much at all. Only now just getting over the worst of it but still have to get the sign off from the Consultant at the Hospital.

It has taught me never to take health for granted and to be thankful for my online business. Even I can type with one hand (sort of!)…. just.

So while I’ve been strapped up I’ve been thinking about how many of you are Authors; published, self-published or aiming to be. I’ve been thinking it must be one of the loneliest entrepreneurial jobs of all… and that made me wonder if you would find it helpful if I could help you with a winning mindset so that you can promote yourself and your work effectively. Would it be helpful to deep dive into the issues Authors face in this regard, most particularly how to sell without feeling like you’re being ‘salesy’ and how to find your readership with ease?

So let me know below, are you an Author and would you be interested in a tailor-made free Challenge to help you?

Let me know in the comments below 👍😁

**Attention Coaches and Consultants**

❤️ this post and I’ll send you full details of my FREE 5 Day Challenge so that you can get off to a flying start by understanding how to dial into your ideal audience with an elegantly simple message and make sales with ease. 💷💰💶

It may seem unusual to publish this post but in these ‘odd’ times in the world I’m getting more patriotic. We assume many of the things in our shops are locally sourced and to be honest it makes perfect sense that they should be.

Many products no longer show where they were made, only giving where the distributor is located.

Can you differentiate which one is made in Taiwan or China? It’s all down to the barcode.

It is important to read the bar code to track its origin. How to read Bar Codes it turns out, is very revealing!

If the first 3 digits of the barcode are:-

690, 691 or 692, ……. it’s Made in CHINA
471……….. Made in Taiwan
890....…… Made in INDIA
00 - 09 ... USA and CANADA
30 - 37 ... FRANCE
40 - 44 ... GERMANY
49 ........… JAPAN
50 ........…. UK (just like these tissues below)

So if you want to source goods within your own country and support your home economy start reading product barcodes 😁
