Hi

Using Mind Maps - Faizel Mohidin

January 2014 Issue of Using Mind Maps Mag Now Available

Firstly, I would like to wish you a prosperous and Happy New Year.

While putting together the first issue for the year, I found myself revisiting my Vision and Purpose of the Magazine, which has been my main focus in 2013. My main vision was to have a collaborative publication bringing readers tips, tools, techniques and opinions of Leading Mind Mapping Experts, as I believe that by being exposed to diverse opinions, we learn the most. It also challenges our existing beliefs, which gives us growth - in sometimes unexpected areas. This year, I plan to take the magazine to more platforms, so that it becomes available to an even wider audience. As usual, if you have any feedback, please send it to us via our Contact Form.
