Have you had problems with contracts - with your customers, or your suppliers?
Are you wondering whether to form a company or work as a sole trader? Do you
need legal advice, but your budget won't stretch to it?
Tiger11 has teamed up with LawWorks, ProHelp and four leading Leeds law firms
to create the Hillside Legal Advice Service (HLAS). At HLAS you can get free,
initial legal advice from trained provided by volunteer solicitors and other
staff from legal firms.
HLAS will provide free face-to-face advice to people with legal problems in a
variety of areas. Whilst HLAS will not be able to take on people’s cases, it
will provide initial advice and help empower people to take action themselves.
Where people need further advice and assistance, HLAS will aim to refer to
specialist services.
As well as commercial work, HLAS can help with employment, debt, benefit,
housing and consumer issues. Unfortunately HLAS cannot help with immigration,
criminal or family matters.
The service runs every Wednesday from 6:00 - 8:00 pm at Hillside.

“How to Create a
Profitable, Pioneering Business with Purpose, Passion & Meaning…”
Is
This You?
§I want
to be passionate about my work – I’m bored
§I feel
stuck in a rut – I’m confused about how to move forward
§I want
to start my own business but don’t know what kind
§I’ve got
a business but I’m still lacking fulfillment
§I’ve got
gifts and talents wasting away that I’d love to use
§People keep
trying to put me in boxes – that don’t even fit!
§I want
to make a difference in the world but I’m not sure how
Are you one of
the many people around the world that would love to set up your own business?
If you know what you want to do AND there are already existing businesses that
do that then it's pretty easy to get the help and support to get that going.
Even then it can be tough to make the break…
What if though
you have no clue about what kind of business you want to start? Where do you
even begin?
Maybe you have
some particular interests that you'd like to pursue. Some talents and gifts,
yet you're not quite sure if people would be prepared to pay for them? Perhaps
you have some ideas but they're not related and you just can't see how things
fit together. How frustrating is that! You know deep down that you have
something to offer, something that could really help people or businesses, yet
you don't know how to express it...
You know that if
you could only get to what it is, then this business could help you to do work
in line with your purpose and your values. Done right it could not only get you
the lifestyle and living you deserve, it could also put you in the position to
really help others less fortunate. After all, "The best way to help the
poor is not to be one of them!"
Yet, when you
talk to others about your ideas they just keep trying to put you into boxes of
existing businesses that don't fit who you are, or even worse, put you off
having a business altogether because of their own fears and insecurities.
It
doesn’t have to be this way…
You CAN discover
what kind of business you could begin. One that uses your gifts and strengths.
A business that feels right because it has meaning for you and your customers.
A business that adds real value to others and generates plenty of profit!
All
it takes is a certain approach…
Now you have the
golden opportunity to begin this amazing journey! Come along to this 2-day
weekend highly interactive seminar and discover for yourself not only what kind
of business you could begin but also how to ensure that it is successful.
My name is Una
Doyle, I’m The Pioneer Consultant and I have helped many people to begin and
grow their own businesses. As part of this fun, interactive seminar, not only
will I help you with business and marketing knowledge and expertise, I will also help to generate
ideas to help you in your business. That alone could be invaluable to the success of your business… My
philosophy is to always use ‘low cost, no cost’ strategies to create and market your business.
We will do a
range of activities to help draw out from within you what form your business
could take. You will also learn how to evaluate your business ideas for
success.
You could walk
away from this weekend with a solid foundation for a profitable new business. A
pioneering business that is different and makes use of your unique combination
of gifts, talents and interests. In addition, you will also have an action plan so that you know what you need to do in order
to make it a reality!
Participate
fully in this seminar and your life could change for the better, forever!

Benefits
of You Attending this Seminar
What does having
your own business mean to you? Freedom? More money? Time to spend with family and
friends? Pursuing your favourite hobby? Travel? New experiences? Saving the
world?
That won’t all
happen with the wave of a magic wand. I won’t pander to the illusion that as
soon as you start your own business that suddenly everything in your life will
be rosy. What I can guarantee though, is that if you do the right things before
setting up a business you can make your life a heck of a lot easier and in the
longer term have all those lovely things!
What is even
better, is that taking a pioneering approach to setting up your business means
that you will be working to your talents and strengths. This means that you
will probably be vastly more productive than usual. How would you like to be one
of those people that gets tons done almost effortlessly? Not only does this mean high productivity, it
means that you will love your work!
After
This Seminar
§You will
understand what has held you back in the past
§You will
have explored new business ideas – that fit you!

know how to create a business instead of a time-trap
§You will

§You will
have learned how to evaluate business ideas for success

have critical marketing knowledge (without making the same expensive mistakes I

Where
and When
This seminar is
taking place on
Saturday 1 & Sunday 2 November 2008
At Haley’s Hotel
& Restaurant in Leeds. Registration is 9am for a 9.30am start and we will
finish at 5pm each day. Full venue details will be sent to you on booking.
As you can see
this really is the ultimate event for anybody who wants to set up in business,
yet is not sure exactly what kind of business they want to start.
I’ve even had
enquiries from people who are already in business and want to either
reinvigorate their passions and/or start another business!
Starting my own
business was the best decision I ever made and I wish I hadn’t waited so long
to do it. Is now the time for you to seriously explore this option?
Let’s face it. Your business isn’t going to
start itself – YOU need to do something different to make it happen. If not now, when?
Just imagine being a business owner!
What difference would that make to your life?
I'm offering you
the chance to be one of just 12 people for an information packed,
no-holds-barred, tell it like it is, frank and honest weekend where I spill the
beans on everything I've learned about setting up and running a business.
You can't get
these secrets at any other event or seminar.
"Okay
- So What's The Cost For This Incredible Seminar?"
Frankly, I
thought long and hard about delivering this exclusive information only as part
of a high-priced consulting solution. I do that with a small number of people
and charge between £3,500-£5,000 per person to work with me for six months. But
I feel that such a price point won't help the many other people who can really
stand to gain from what I have to offer, so I've settled on a solution which
gives you all the information you'll need, plus personalised input from me.
That's why the
entire package of the seminar plus the following free bonus is only £275 per
person, including lunch and refreshments (or £225 each for a couple, business
partners or friends who attend the same course.)
Special
Bonus For Your Quick Action
Needless to say,
this event is jam packed with what most people setting up in business learn the
hard way, if they ever do! Truth is, you'll never find this in-depth
information in any other seminar. But even with that said, just to sweeten the
pot a bit I'm also going to hand you a very special bonus to reward you for
taking action immediately.
Free
Bonus: “45-Minute Individual Pioneering Business Coaching Session' (a £100
value)
You get to work
with me after the seminar on a personal telephone call to help you implement
what you’ve learned. This would usually cost you £100 and it is absolutely free when you book and pay for your
place before midnight Friday, October 24, 2008.
There you have
it - you couldn't ask for a better deal, unless I also throw in my…
100% "Better-Than-Risk-Free" Money Back
Guarantee
Listen, if you
don't agree that this it the most impactful, eye-opening and practical
information you've ever received on the subject of how to start a business when
you don’t know what business you want to start, let me know by the end of the
first day and I'll issue you a 100% refund on the spot. No hard feelings and no
questions asked.
Fair enough?
I urge you to
take action right now and grab your seat at this event. Trust me, you won't
want to miss out on this one. Grab your seat now by clicking here for the order form.

Helping Businesses to Create Motivating Workplaces and Build
Better Relationships with Their Customers
Andrew joined Rise a few weeks ago
with his company Latitude 53, which provides corporate art rental and greetings
cards for businesses. Having worked in transportation consultancy for
many years he decided to make a change and follow his passion for photography
and art. Andrew began by taking his own photographs and continues to use
these as of a wider portfolio of artists' work. Rebelling against what he
sees as the TV makeover trend towards inoffensive, 'co-ordinating', bland art,
Andrew provides engaging pictures which reward repeated viewing, stimulate
thought and energise the environment. The images are changed, typically
on a quarterly basis, to keep the space fresh and interesting. Andrew’s
philosophy is that great art can help motivate employees, interest clients and
increase productivity.
Art can also be a powerful medium of communication, and in the cut-throat world
of business Andrew’s branded greetings cards (which utilise the same artists' portfolio
of images) are great for companies to remind their customers they’re still
there and they care. Regular and carefully thought out communication with
customers is a value-for-money way of ensuring repeat business. “A client
isn’t just for Christmas,” he jokes.
Headingley-based, Andrew works with
up-and-coming artists and photographers in the Leeds/Bradford area and hopes to
become involved with universities in the future. Showcasing local
artists is a key part of his ethos and a big reason why he chose to join our
network. Andrew says it's the sheer energy in the Catalyst centres that
sets them apart.
Latitude 53 has just landed a contract with a top
Leeds recruitment firm and with Christmas coming up we’re sure the greetings
cards will be going into overdrive. If you’re interested in wall art or
branded cards for your business check out the website: http://www.latitude53.co.uk or call
Andrew on 0113-2740351.
Designer Mark
Lucas set up his company Grain Design two years ago and has built up an
impressive portfolio of work from branding, print, advertising and digital
media. Mark began working as a freelance designer, nurturing his own
dreams in his spare time and has now reached a point where he has two talented
staff members working for him on a contractual basis. Mark used the
experience he had in the industry to make a better business model: realising
that a lot of companies go wrong with middle-men, Mark chose to staff Grain
with creatives. This way Grain’s customers get 5-star communication and
Chinese whispers don’t dilute the end product.
Grain is also
unique in that the service is tailored to the individual company’s needs and
means – the budget might be lacking but the quality of work is always top
notch. What drives this perfectionism? A team of passionate
individuals who, Mark says, are “the kind of people who can’t sleep at night
for thinking about typography.” Sounds crazy? Then they’re probably
the right guys for the job!
Mark enjoys
working with start-up companies in particular as they are at a great stage for
branding, but design briefs can range from a full re-brand to individual
projects in photography, print, web design and advertising. The list of
clients is impressive and since Grain won a Pixel Award in California last year
the business is taking on a global market. In the future Mark plans to open
a second office in the States and continue growing his dedicated
workforce. If you’re interested in quality design for any of your
business needs, check out the website: www.designbygrain.com
Opportunities for Tutors at Park Lane College in Keighley,

community for topics such as: ESOL classes, Art, Drama, courses for the
learning-disabled any many, many others - please contact Karen Johnson

Please tell Karen you found out about this opportunity on the Catalyst blog site.
Why do superior products, services and even companies fail while their competitors thrive?
Why doesn’t simply being better and working harder assure the success of your company?
Your brand is your most valuable asset. It’s the “gut feeling” that your supporters and prospects have about your company, your offerings, and your services. “Brand” is not a marketing buzzword and it’s not just a concept reserved only for multinational companies. Your brand is the sum total of who you are now, all that you do in your business and all that you aspire to be in future. It’s the essence and the promise to potential customers on which your company is built. It is the lynchpin on which your future success and growth will depend.
The Beyond The Brand Workshop is designed to provide companies with a systematic and strategic way to:
• Understand your key target audiences. • Build the “Brand” of your company and its key products and services effectively. • Create the “Mission Statement” of your brand to deliver your key benefits in 10 words of less. • Clearly define your brand so that it is compelling and credible to key target audiences. • Increase your reputation, image, perceived value and brand awareness of the brand. • Increase the visibility of your company and generate more profit making sales.
This workshop will form the foundations that help your company to be individual, competitive and drive your business forward to flourishing rewards and success.
