About Me

Ann Hawkins Founder of The Inspired Group To contact me send me an email or phone 01480 830282

Over the last 20 or so years I’ve got to know a huge number of business owners who have shared their visions, dreams, skills, ideas and expertise through our events, workshops and MasterMind Groups. The Inspired Group grew out of a desire to offer practical solutions to people who want to get off the treadmill of swapping time for money and create an enterprise that will exist and have a value without them. To see so many people enjoying their businesses, thriving and still friends after so many years is one of the main reasons why our monthly events have such a wonderful atmosphere – something that is remarked on by almost everyone who attends.

By working closely with The Mercantile Group (my husband’s company) we can offer a huge range of solutions for almost every business situation from training and mentoring to funding and support.

I am one of the rare people who loves public speaking and sharing ideas through most forms of communication. If I’m not talking, I’m writing, blogging or tweeting and believe that the ‘new’ media (blogging is ten years old!) is a huge advance in breaking down barriers to communication, isolation and stereotypes. I’m living proof that you can teach an old dog new tricks and now teach business owners how to use social media to reach their busines goals easier and faster than ever before.

Read my Inspired SuperBlogI’ve been blogging for over five years now – publishing articles by all the inspirational speakers who have shared their ideas, knowledge and expertise at our events. If you’d like to know when new articles are published just sign up to the Inspired! blog in the box on the right >>

I recently switched to a “SuperBlog” which blasts your blog postings out to lots of popular social media sites, making it easier to reach lots of people with your message. Find out why every business needs a SuperBlog

I like win/win situations where we get what we want by helping other people to get what they want. The most exciting evidence of this takes place in the Inspired MasterMind Groups where business owners share ideas and create new opportunities for each other.

A close working relationship with The Mercantile Group means that we can offer solutions to most business challenges, helping to improve profits through training, support and practical help.

Seeing so many people present their business in different situations prompted me to write two ‘tongue in cheek’ booklets:
“How to Make a Fabulous First Impression (or why we ALL fall for Talll Dark & Handsome Men)”
and
“How to make Networking Fun”
If you’d like a copy – just ask.

To get to know me better, warts and all, just follow me on Twitter but please don’t send me hackneyed quotes, tips that make me go ‘duh!’ or anything to do with the dreadful Follow Friday. In return I’ll introduce you to some fascinating people and help you to promote your business in way that doesn’t get up people’s noses!
