PR - I'm here, there and everywhere!

What a great couple of weeks it's been for Count On It® labels and me. Not only have I been lucky enough to be asked onto both BBC Radio Nottingham and Lincolnshire, I have appeared in 5 articles.

Last Friday I was invited onto Radio Nottingham's The Frances Finn Show to be a 'Loose Lady' with fellow contributor, local actress and author Joy James. The show, which was hosted by Dominic Busby was great fun, we discussed amongst other things unusual children's names, man hugs and Mark Owen's affair. Joy had some great stories to tell - the best ones off-air, of course! You can listen again here:

Then today, I was lucky enough to be invited onto BBC Radio Lincolnshire's Rod Whiting morning show to be 'on the sofa' - that's us together in the studio pictured above. It was great, Rod asked me about my life, how I got to be on 'Deal or No Deal', my visit to No.10, my travels to Zimbabwe and America, how I coped after having serious spinal surgery and lots of other stuff too. Needless to say I talked a lot, Rod was a great host and made me feel very comfortable. It was also nice when he described me as a person who 'has a lust for life'. To hear how I got on, you can listen again here:-

In addition to that I have been featured in 5 different articles, they are as follows:-

To celebrate 'mums in business' week, Start Up Donut, the business advice site, invited me to be a guest contributor for the week. My feature was on how I started my business with the help from Noel Edmonds and Business Link!

Then finally, I had a great message from Kristen at LandingPad London, who had found my Downing Street article here on my blog and kindly included it on their LandingPadLondon website, the online city guide for travellers who don't like acting like tourists.

It's all be fantastic for both Count On It®'s and my profile - I love these opportunities and welcome more. So if you want a contributor for TV, radio or press - please give me a call.

Help at first site - Sunday Times Business First article

As I have mentioned countless times before, Business Link have been and continue to be an invaluable source of information and advice since I first launched my business and Count On It labels a couple of years ago. From general business information to more complex issues such as protecting Count On It labels design and trademark, Business Link have given me support and straight forward advice which has not only saved me valuable time, it has saved me a substantial amount of money, which as any small business owner knows is vital to its survival. Business Link's 'supersite' clearly and easily guides you through the wide range of issues that all business owners face and has up to the minute advice from a wide body of agencies, including IPO, UKTI and CIM, furthermore it is all available for free.
Therefore, as I am a great advocate of Business Link I am thrilled that Count On It label's story has been used in Wendy M Grossman's article in this Sunday's Times, Business First 'Help at first site'.
Here's the section of the article where Count On It labels and me, Lyndsey Young, mummypreneur feature.
