This is the crucial connection between online and offline connections and relationships, regardless of where they happen first.

Great post Niall, and an absolute testament to how you combine and nurture both. You are a supreme example of how it is done so well, and I truly believe the success of TYB and its growing respectful community is primarily down to your approach, attitude and communication style.

I have noticed a growth in online communities that are meeting more offline also. I believe this is the acceptance and realisation that one builds on the other, and they are not mutually exclusive, but mutually interdependent.

Space needs to be made for both! And I thoroughly enjoy and get great personal and professional benefit from both.

Thanks for the kind words, Sian but the talent was always there - I just helped to encourage it to come out from hiding! ;-)

Niall, coming from someone who has made an amazing online community like TweakYourBiz your suggestions should definitely be taken onboard because they are proven. I know that being involved in this community and the confidence you have given me through your appreciation and commendation has definitely improved my writing skills and opened doors I didn't even know were there. So thanks a million to you and well done on putting into words something you do so well
